Sony release their most ambitious semi-professional laser projector yet, the 4K SXRD native VW760ES, which just might produce the best HDR projected image we have seen - at a cost, of course.

Sony VPL-VW760ES 4K HDR laser projector review

This laser-based 4K projector is the Sony's best home cinema model yet I wouldn’t normally describe a £15,000 home entertainment product as a bargain. But in the case of the Sony VPL-VW760ES projector, I'm more than happy to make an exception.
