Quality

I have had no technical issues and it works great.

Hdr content is handled very well on the 5000.

Upon testing the device, even at 8k, i didn't experience the wow effect that one would expect from a resolution twice that of 4k.

My old projector had only 8-bit color depth which looked great 90% of the time until a scene came along with lots of gradients ... Read More

Price

=====================sony’s cost cutting measures on the 5000 make total sense in my opinion and were absolutely the right call.

Based on the price i had very high expectations and i can happily say they have been met if not exceeded in every way.

My first choice was the jvc 8k e-shift, which came at a hefty price tag.

Competitiveness

After watching plenty of content both streaming and disc & comparing with my old sony hw40es, i’m very happy with this new projector.

I suspect the 5000 will be very successful for sony and i look forward to future models at this level from sony.

If 3d is a deal breaker for you, then you need to jump up to the xw6000.
