Sony 4k Projector Ultra Short Throw VPL-GTZ1 and Zero Edge Short Throw Projection Screen 

+benwoo Haha!!! I was about to say the same thing!

Ha, yes same as all technology. Remember when your phone had buttons? :)

+beaverwhiffer27 Yep the Sony unit might be out of the ballpark for some people.. BUT - do checkout Vivitek, Epson, Wolf, LG, and many others who now have units that start out at around $1000. You're talking about a massive image, without a massive footprint, and a tiny fraction of what a flat-panel would cost.

Screen Innovations Thanks, I appreciate the reply. I will definitely look at my options. Good Luck to you all over at SI.

Hi Marshal, you can use our dealer locator to find your nearest SI dealer: dash.screeninnovations.com/dealerlocatormap many of our dealers also carry Sony products. Thank you!

Ankit Sen So True

SONY the best

Ankit Sen actually Epson is better than Sony!

Our screen rejects the ambient light, making contrast ratios 900% better than a matte white screen. Sony's projector is the only one that has a true 4k sensor, and is ultra short throw projector, with a laser light source.

John Brown any projector which has over 4000lumens output. Checkout projector central.com

Funny you mention it, their new version which is smaller and brighter (see here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BWwuquXnW5A.html) has been integrated by many cabinet makers such as Salamander and others. Most people have AV cabinets under their TV's anyway so it makes good sense.

That is a good start in the right direction, it does not look half bad on that little table it is on but I think they could do better at that price point. It could be fully integrated into a nice credenza where all you see is the credenza, then you just would not put anything over the throw lens. Couple that with one of your screens and bam, you have your self a viable product for that market. All they would have to do though really is be connected with a couple of high end custom furniture companies and make it available for the clientele to custom make theirs. I think that would make this idea pop!

Tnutt19 yep that's exactly what they are doing with salamander see here www.soundandvision.com/content/salamander-creates-credenza-sony-short-throw-projector

Dell makes a fantastic ultra short throw projector that they showed at InfoComm this year paired with our screen. We highly recommend it. Thanks!

Those are complex details coming down to lots of different variables such as screen size, projector output, technology, and screen gain. Safe to say though that we match and many times exceed the output of flat panel brightness.

+Shaquille Farrington Yes it has multiple HDMI inputs. Pricing for the sony projector is around $50k, but there are options which are more residential friendly such as Vivitek, or Epson which are closer to $1500 - $2000 price range. For pricing on the screen, please contact your local SI authorized dealer.

Ask Santa :)

There is no bulb - it's a laser light source and it is rated for 20,000 hours.

Thank you! You mean silent regarding the sound output (fan noise etc.) from the projector? There are a rapidly growing list of projectors that are coming available and being introduced to the market. The answer to that question largely depends on a few factors: your budget, how bright of an image you need, resolution, noise output, and others.

Screen Innovations thanks and let me say I was completely unaware of your screen tech and it looks amazing. I'm looking for a 1080p projector than can fill an 80-90 inch screen and be as bright as a typical flat screen TV. And yes the silent requirement is no fan noise. Any thoughts?

Blackburst Entertainment Oh, boy there are so many. There are many you can look at Sim2, Sony (obviously), Vivitek, and even LG has a nice short throw projector with lots of connectivity. Are you talking with one of our dealers yet? They will be able to educate you really well on what's out there.

Blake is using floor standing tower speakers.

+RichBshine1972 The max size, currently, of the Short Throw screen is 120-inches in 16:9. I believe the projector will project up to a 147-inch size.

+Screen Innovations thank you by the way I love your zero edge screens.I don't have one yet but defiantly in the future .

+RichBshine1972 Thanks! We love to hear that. Let us know when you're ready to upgrade.

+Shiva Ji Most are placed higher off the ground than this or integrated into a cabinet system.

That would look like a postage stamp sitting at the breakfast table :). Also, flat panels have a big problem with glare, especially in bright rooms like this one.

+Quintin Spina This screen is suited for short throw projectors only. We suggest at least a 1.5x throw on your projector lens to work properly with our Black Diamond screens. If you would like some more information on Panamorph lenses, we actually have two former Panamorph employees on our sales staff who would be happy to discuss that with you, or direct you to your local dealer.

Thank you for the quick reply! However, what I'm trying to accomplish is an ultra short throw, 2.35:1 set up. I'd like to stay away from a Panamorph lens if at all possible. Simply because it's another $3,000 I'd like not to spend. Of course, I would if I had to. Any advice on getting a 2.35:1 UST set up?

Quintin Spina Please send me a message with your email and contact information and I will forward your request to the appropriate person. Thank you!

+Gaming Verge Good luck... they are over $100k! Conversely - there are many ultra short throw options that aren't anywhere near $50k, but still have excellent performance.

+Rutger+ Sony's projector is currently listed for retail ~$50k. If you combo this projector and our screen, flat panel is more than double that price at this size. While this combo may not be in everyone's wheelhouse, there are some much more affordable ultra short throw projector options out there, and two piece projection is drastically less expensive with standard throw projectors combined with screens such as our Black Diamond technology. www.screeninnovations.com/materials/ambient-materials/black-diamond/

Much larger size, price per square inch, mobility, simple installation (large flat panels are very heavy)

Colton McCormack Yes, it still is. A 100" flat panel is over $100,000.

For the guy who can, it's the best that money can buy... that being said, the projector is not in everyone's wheelhouse. :) There are many great, very affordable alternatives out there that work well with our screen.

Not that i'm aware of.

Screen Innovations Damn. I thought the Digital 4K Projector had HDR (High Dynamic Range).

Sony is here today and the projector is about 10 feet away :) i'll check today. Thanks!

Screen Innovations - Tell Sony that I think their 4K Projector is a step in the right direction. I hope you can somehow hook your Directv, and or 4K Bluray player to it to watch both on the screen.

I just spoke with Sony's Marketing Manager and no, this projector does not have HDR. The vw5000 does however have 18gb/s on each input capable of HDR in 4k from any source (including gaming consoles)

I'm not following you. This projector is 4k.

Oh sorry, i'm not talking about this one, in terms of the lower end so under $500 maybe, you get a lot of 720p and below. I should've been more specific

:)

Screen Innovations Were can I get one 😊

What is your location? Shoot me a private message and I'll get you set up with a dealer. Thx!

+GLYNN TILLERY No doubt! Those were there from the previous owner. Since Blake just moved in, he has not had time to setup his sound system.

+Screen Innovations I build custom On-walls that come in white.....ahhhemmm cough

It's worth every penny spent.

Not fully sure, but I believe that one is marketed towards the residential space and the other toward the commercial space. Check their website: www.sony.com/electronics/projectors-4k/lspx-w1s

Hello, the life space doesn't require a projection screen :)

Our screen preserves the contrast ratio of the projector - an increase in a measured 700% over a matte white, or standard wall surface. :) also texture is a major concern when projecting ultra short throw. See this graphic: www.screeninnovations.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/ScreenvsWall.jpg

Yes, it's a 4k projector.

How big is the wall?

Screen Innovations - I don't know how big the wall has to be in order for me to have a very Large Screen. I would love to have a Screen LARGER then an IMAX Screen. Maybe a 2,000-3,000" screen lol.

Don't we all :) We can make this particular screen up to 120" diagonal in 16:9 ratio. But we have other materials that go much larger.

Screen Innovations - Larger is always BETTER. How big can you go? And are you located here in the United States? Whenever I have my home built once I can save up the money I would love to have a Home Theater built with Dolby Digital Surround Sound. Mastered with THX if that's possible. My question is How big are the screens at AMC Theaters? I would love to have a screen that big.

Now that's something that deserves an AMEN! :) We manufacture and build our screens here in Austin, TX. The screens you see in movie theaters are very large, 100's of feet. If you've got the space for one of those in your house, I would love to see it :)
