The P7 features a projector-optimized XR Image Processor, which enhances Sony’s advanced BRAVIA TV video processing for projection needs. With four key technologies—XR Dynamic Auto Mapping, XR Deep Black, XR Triluminos Pro, and XR Clear Image—it delivers theater-quality visuals:
- XR Dynamic Auto Mapping analyzes brightness frame-by-frame for precise tone mapping, producing vibrant, high-contrast images.
- XR Deep Black optimizes laser dimming for inky blacks while improving energy efficiency.
- XR Triluminos Pro reproduces over 1 billion colors, while XR Clear Image upscales to 4K, sharpening details and reducing noise.

The P7’s native 4K SXRD panel offers high contrast, vivid colors, and smooth motion. Its compact laser light source delivers 2,200 lumens of brightness, ensuring stunning image quality even in rooms with ambient light.

For gamers, the P7 shines with 4K/120fps support, 12ms input lag, and HDMI 2.1 ports featuring ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) for seamless, immersive gameplay.
