- X1 Ultimate for Projector image processor for intelligent HDR remastering

Picture quality
The VPL-XW5000ES relies on exclusive SXRD technology (Silicon X-tal Reflective Display), which, combined with native 4K resolution of 8.3 million pixels, delivers incredible depth of detail. The reflective LCoS technology (referred to here as SXRD) enables particularly deep blacks and seamless pixel transitions – ideal for a demanding home cinema. With 2,000 ANSI lumens, the projector produces vivid, bright images even on large screens.
Outstanding colour reproduction comes courtesy of Triluminos Pro technology, which detects over a billion shades and reproduces colours as they appear in nature. HDR10 and HLG are supported, with the Dynamic HDR Enhancer adjusting the contrast of every single scene in real time.
The integrated Motionflow technology ensures smooth motion by calculating additional frames, effectively minimising judder during fast camera pans or sports broadcasts.
Gaming performance
Thanks to dedicated input lag reduction, the projector achieves a latency of just 13 ms at 2K resolution and 120 Hz. This is an excellent value – suitable even for competitive shooters and racing games. Gamers also benefit from smooth rendering that delivers a responsive experience with modern consoles and gaming PCs.
Sound
No built-in speaker – an external audio system is required. Audio output: the projector has no analogue or optical audio output; audio signals are usually processed beforehand via an AV receiver or soundbar.
Smart features & streaming
This projector has no built-in smart system. Streaming sticks such as Apple TV, Fire TV or Chromecast can be connected via HDMI to access all popular apps such as Netflix, Disney+ or Prime Video. Usually, however, an AV receiver is used here as well to distribute the signals.
Setup, projection & in the box
Room planning note: add 47.2 cm housing depth plus approx. 10–15 cm for cable connections. In a darkened home cinema, a classic gain 1.0 screen delivers the best colour reproduction.
| Screen size | Image width (approx.) | Throw distance |
|---|---|---|
| 80 inches (203 cm) | 177 cm | min. 2.44 m – max. 3.91 m |
| 90 inches (229 cm) | 199 cm | min. 2.75 m – max. 4.40 m |
| 100 inches (254 cm) | 221 cm | min. 3.05 m – max. 4.88 m |
| 120 inches (305 cm) | 265 cm | min. 3.66 m – max. 5.86 m |
With a vertical lens shift of +/- 71% and a horizontal range of +/- 25%, the manual lens control offers enormous flexibility to align the image perfectly with the screen without digital distortion.
- HDMI: 2 inputs (version 2.0b with HDCP 2.3).
- USB: 1x Type A (incl. power supply for streaming sticks such as Fire TV or Chromecast).
- Network: LAN port (RJ-45) for control.

Light source & operation
The maintenance-free laser light source lasts up to 20,000 hours – equivalent to around 18.5 years with a film night every day. No lamp replacement is required over the projector's entire life.
| Operating mode | Lifetime | 3 hrs/day | 6 hrs/day |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | 20,000 hrs | 18.5 years | 9.0 years |
At 24 dB(A) in standard mode, the projector stays unobtrusive even in quiet film scenes. The 12V trigger output enables automatic control of motorised screens or masking systems.
