Sony's entry-level native 4K SXRD laser projector delivers true 3840×4096 resolution without pixel-shifting tricks, producing 2,000 lumens from a long-life laser source. Both HDMI 2.0b inputs handle 4K/60Hz content at the full 18 Gbps with HDR10 and HLG tone mapping via Sony's Reality Creation processing. Network control through RJ-45 integrates with Crestron, Control4, and Savant home automation systems. The USB port handles firmware updates only and cannot power external streaming devices.
