"The Verdict"
"Not only is the VPL-XW5000 a quantum leap forward from Sony's early projectors, but also leaps and bounds ahead of its VPL-VW290ES predecessor. Excellent optics and Digital Focus Optimiser play no small part in providing crisp, sharp images. However, I believe it's the 'secret sauce' that brings the whole enchilada together... This is Sony's X1 Ultimate for Projector Picture Processor. It enables the VPL-XW5000 to produce a startling amount of detail and 3D-like images with good source material. It's perfect for those who stream content; the enhancements it provides to such material are only bested by high-end video processors costing more."

What Hi-Fi? Review
"Sony’s already class-leading motion handling has gone up yet another gear under the X1 Ultimate processor’s watch. The default True Cinema mode is hands down the most effective, cinematic out of the box motion setting you’ll find on any projector – or maybe any display device, full stop. It just does a perfect job of gently massaging away the distractions 24fps sources can cause on home entertainment hardware without turning films into EastEnders, and without generating any distracting unwanted processing side effect ‘mess’."
