The RedRayplayer streams ultra HD content from the internet. There is a one TB hard drive which can be upgraded to save more content, based on your own preference. The RedRay player comes with 1 HDMI 1.4 output, 3 HDMI 1.3 outputs, and an additional HDMI output for 7.1 surround sound.

The RedRay connects to Odemax’s cloud-based content delivery system where you can find all of their 4K content. The negative of the RedRay is that it can’t play any of your existin movies unless you upload them to an externam hard drive. Don’t forget you will need to have a 4K TV to view this content because you won’t be able to enjoy the 4K qualities without it.

According to PC World, the 4K TV from Sony will be available in an 84″ screen because it’s the optimal size for its higher resolution. PC World also states the demonstration of 1080p content side by side with 4K had minimal distinguishable differences. The clip below discusses the XBR-84X900 (courtesy of SGNK by Sony).

4K TV’s are being introduced to the market however there isn’t enough content to make it worthwhile. Blu-ray DVD’s are not 4K and broadcasters will have to upgrade their production to be able to broadcast in 4K. With the introduction of these TV’s, we can speculate that other corresponding companies will follow. Broadcasters &  Blu-ray DVD’s may start converting to the new 4K technology. Movies are filmed and shown in 4K within movie theaters so the conversion to Blu-ray could be less complicated than what TV broadcasters will have to do.

Let’s not forget to mention the price tag again. The equivalent 4K TV by LG retails for $22,000. Will everyday regular people want to spend that much on a TV? This may be for the prestigious consumer that only want luxury items. For now just knowing this new technology is starting to enter the market is exciting and gives us something to look forward to.

We always appreciate your comments and feedback. What are your thoughts on the new 4K TV?

The 4K resolution means that the projector is more than four times the resolution of the current highest quality projector which is 1980 x 1080 pixels. The VPL-VW1000ES is 4096 x 2160, vastly superior than any projector currently on the market. The VPL-VW1000ES has excellent 3D and has support of the DCI color space, which is the standard used in the movie theaters. These two features create an impressive image.

Weighing in at 44 lbs, this projector can be mounted on the ceiling like standard projectors. There are also small screw-on feet to level the projector on the ground.  The set-up menus are very easy to use, even though there are plenty of setting to get used to, the system is very user friendly.  Considering how many picture options are available, it may be time consuming at first. Sony  states the viewer can sit closer to the screen as there is no “screen door effect”.  Last but not least, the projector has a whisper quiet fan so you will not be distracted by a loud fan while you use this projector.

ProjectorReviews.com reviews approximately 25 home theater projectors per year and in 2012, Sony was awarded  the Outstanding Product of the Year Award.  This may take a few years to catch on as it seems Sony has gone above and beyond that of their competition.  Blu-Ray players cannot support such high resolution so trying to watch anything of such high quality isn’t available just yet. Other forms of technology that coincide with this projector will be able to accommodate such high resolution in the near future.  The competition will have to catch up.
