2025 Sony Bravia Projector 8 & 9 Comparison Review

[@valueelectronics9390]

We just received Sony's 2nd allocation of the new BRAVIA Projector 9, VPL-XW8100ES and the BRAVIA Projector 8, VPL-XW6100ES. So thankfully we have them both now on display and in stock!

Would love to see a projector shootout between the Bravia 8 & NZ800.

[@valueelectronics9390]

Thank you for the very good suggestion ^. I'll set up Sony's BRAVIA Projector 8, VPL-XW6100ES in the room next to our JVC NZ800 demo room that are in our new 2nd A/V Showroom where we took over the basement of the beautiful new building directly across the street from our main A/V Showroom. Every Cinema Demo Room has the same 120" Unity Gain projection screen and all rooms are divided with black Duvetyne fabric and the ceilings are also covered with neatly framed black Duvetyne fabric. We built 16 high-end Cinema Demo rooms all with 9-18 Channel premium Dolby Atmos/DTS:X audio systems.

Try a comparison with the nz900 by JVC.....I'm leaning twards the JVC. I'm looking for one that beats it on all levels. Do I'm checking out Sony but still leaning JVC. What Sony projector ,will outdo the nz900 on All levels ????? And what is it's cost in comparison

[@joeyyung911]

Didn't know they changed the names of the projectors too.

[@valueelectronics9390]

Yes, Sony uses the BRAVIA name for their premium high-end class of all A/V products. These new Sony projectors are very worthy of the BRAVIA Badge!

$32,000 .......yeah I'm not the target customer 🙂

[@ThaVillaMan]

Neither am I 😅

[@valueelectronics9390]

Understood and appreciated. Thankfully Sony also has the new BRAVIA Projector 8, VPL-XW6100ES for $15,999. that has all of the same features and specifications, except for the peak luminance capability which is 700 lumens brighter on the BRAVIA Projector 9, VPL-XW8100ES. Another very good option now would be any of Sony's current Native Laser Long Throw Projector series that are just now going on close-out sale, VPL-XW7000ES is my favorite value/performance choice.

@@valueelectronics9390 will Sony release a replacement for the 5000es? Thank again.

[@HamidKzm-b5s]

That's 10 time more expensive than the valerion pro 2 , why should we pick up Bravia over pro 2 ?? Or even jmgo n1s ultimate

[@Slaphappy-_-]

How the heck is the cost soo high? Junk in a box!?! This is crazy! Really and let me guess when the bulb 💡 goes out 1 year you pay 3/4 of price for new?

[@ThaVillaMan]

It’s a laser projector so there’s no bulb. It should last for over 20,000 hours

There is no bulb. It's a laser projector.
