Best forDedicated or light-controlled media roomsBuyers who want native 4K without a pixel-shift trickLong viewing sessions where a laser light source beats lamp swapsMixed use in rooms with some ambient light
Pros
  • True 3840 x 2160 SXRD panels, not pixel shifting
  • 2,700 lumens holds up better than dim lamp projectors in lit rooms
  • Laser light source means no lamp replacement schedule
  • XR Dynamic Tone Mapping adjusts HDR brightness frame by frame
  • XR Triluminos Pro covers over a billion colors
  • Motorized lens and clean black/white finish options
Cons
  • $2,999.99 is a serious outlay versus lamp or pixel-shift rivals
  • 2,700 lumens is modest for very large screens in bright rooms
  • No built-in streaming apps or tuner; you supply a source
  • Large, heavy chassis needs a solid ceiling mount
  • Laser dimming over years is gradual, not a user-swappable part

Questions and answers

Is the Sony BRAVIA Projector 8 worth it?
If you want native 4K SXRD and a laser light source without lamp changes, yes. At $2,999.99 at PC Richard & Son as of November 3, it sits near its recent low, which makes it a reasonable time to buy.
How does it compare with the Projector 9?
The Projector 9 is the brighter, higher-tier model with more light output for larger screens. The Projector 8 at 2,700 lumens suits screens up to roughly 120 inches in controlled light.
How bright is it and what screen size does it handle?
It is rated at 2,700 lumens. That is fine for a 100- to 120-inch screen in a dark room, but a very large screen in daylight will look washed out.
Does it have built-in apps or a tuner?
No. It is a display only, with HDMI, USB and Ethernet inputs, so you need a streaming stick, receiver or player as a source.
What is in the box?
The projector, AC power cord, RM-PJ24 remote, two AA batteries and a setup guide. No mount or HDMI cable is included.
When is it cheapest?
Projector pricing tends to dip around major sales events and model transitions. The current $2,999.99 at PC Richard & Son as of November 3 is already near its recent low.
What do buyers say about the Sony BRAVIA Projector 8 4K HDR Laser Home Theater Projector?
