Description
The Sony VPL-VW870ES is a true 4k laser projector, but it's the optics that really make this projector special.
For pristine image quality across the entire screen, the VPL-VW870ES features an All-Range Crisp Focus (ARC-F) lens. This large-aperture lens adopts an all-glass design for its 18 elements, including six extra low-dispersion (ELD) elements. This ensures optimal convergence of the red, green and blue primaries even at the extreme edges of the image for a clear and vivid image wherever you look.
This is known in some markets as the VPL-VW995ES, if you would like to check out reviews. They tend to sell used for around $20k overseas (plus shipping and GST, of course), so perhaps $25k landed.

As you can see from the photos, I still have this mounted (it comes with a Chief Universal Projector Mount, which I'll also include), in case I am asked to demo the unit. I will get this professionally uninstalled ASAP after selling.
The latest model that replaced this one is the Sony VPL-VW890ES (note the 890, compared to the 870). This sells for $42,995 in NZ, and the optics are basically the same (the main difference, as far as I can tell, is the newer one basically has added dynamic HDR enhancement ... but at a MUCH higher price!
You can see full specs here - compare it to the current model, and you won't see much difference! Both have 4k MotionFlow, 2,200lm Z-Phosphor laser, Native 4K SXRD, Dual Contrast Control, Digital Focus Optimiser, Super-resolution Reality Creation,

Hi, I realise it's a laser, and these things have a long lifespan, but what are the hours on it? m*****g (22 • 6:06 pm, Mon, 13 May )Great question! 2187 hours ... of the "up to 20,000 hours", as stated by Sony. blair3 (135 • Monday, 13 May 2024 )Hi, May I ask why you are selling? What are you upgrading to ? any other AV gear for sale? Regards s*************n (59 • 10:55 pm, Mon, 13 May )I upgraded to a new projector/screen... I have a very nice StewartScreen StudioTek screen that I'll sell when I get to it, but I expect shipping that will be a pain, so it'll likely be pick-up only (Christchurch) unless the buyer wants to pay an installer to disassemble and ship. And lots of Focal speakers, when I get time to list them :-) blair3 (135 • Monday, 13 May 2024 )Hi, If i may ask, what are you upgrading to ? We specialize in high-end theater and the 2nd hand market ( that's why this projector caught our attention as we might have a new home for it). If you like, check our other listing as we have other questions. Regards s*************n (59 • 11:57 am, Tue, 14 May )Messaged directly, thanks. Just wanting to make sure all questions are answered :-) blair3 (135 • Tuesday, 14 May 2024 )
