Sony's BRAVIA Projector 7 (VPL-XW5100ES) is a native-4K SXRD laser projector with genuinely fast inputs: both HDMI 2.1 ports run full 48Gbps with HDCP 2.3, taking 4K120 with ALLM at roughly 11-12ms input lag. HDR10 and HLG are supported (no Dolby Vision or HDR10+). There are no speakers or audio outputs — audio stays with your AVR — while a LAN port covers network control and a USB-A port handles firmware updates.
