Sony VPL-HW55

 Reality Creation ? Super Resolution function

Developed for our leading 4K home cinema projector (VPL-VW1000ES), Reality Creation reproduces colours

and textures that are lost when movies are packaged to disc. It gives you crisper, sharper Full HD pictures,

much closer to the 1080p original.

1,700 lumens brightness with faithful colour reproduction

Thanks to an improved optical engine, the VPL-HW55ES is much brighter than our previous standard home

cinema projectors. At 1,700 lumens, it produces clearer images and faithful colours, even in well-lit rooms.

Bright Cinema and Bright TV modes

Conventional home cinema projectors sacrifice some colour accuracy by increasing greens to improve

brightness. With Bright Cinema and Bright TV modes, the VPL-HW55ES retains true colour and contrast, even

in a bright environment.

Dynamic contrast now 120,000:1

Optical engine improvements and advanced Iris 3 technology mean we?ve achieved an incredible dynamic

contrast ratio of 120,000:1. It maximises blacks and whites without diminishing brightness so you won?t miss a

detail, even in dark scenes.

Long lasting lamp

You can expect a longer lamp replacement time from the VPL-HW55ES: up to 5,000 hours (roughly 60%

longer than our standard home cinema projectors). This lowers your running costs and total cost of ownership.

Contrast Enhancer and advanced Iris3

Automatically adjusts contrast for optimum viewing by analyzing dark and light areas in every scene, without

diminishing colour.

Motionflow

See every detail, even in fast-moving action scenes or sports. Motionflow technology shows twice as many

pictures per second by creating extra images between the original frames. The result is smoother, sharper

motion with less blur.

SXRD panel technology

Our SXRD panels reduce pixel gaps and reproduce up to 240 frames per seconds for super-sharp images.

Because our 3D glasses have a synchronised shutter speed, you?ll enjoy incredible high-definition 3D with

minimal crosstalk.

Dynamic Lamp Control

When each of the shutters of your 3D glasses opens, Dynamic Lamp Control boosts the brightness by three

times: this maximises picture impact as well as lamp efficiency.

Built-in IR 3D transmitter

No set-up time or cables, just synchronise the VPL-HW55ES with your IR 3D glasses via the built-in

transmitter.

2D and 3D modes

The VPL-HW55ES automatically recognises 2D or 3D content and allows you to pre-select Standard,

Dynamic, Cinema, Game and Photo modes.

Extremely low fan noise

Our advanced cooling system means fan noise is reduced to a whisper-quiet 21db.

Gamma adjustment

Fine tune image brightness according to the light in the room or the on-screen picture. There are 11 modes to

select from.

Wider lens shift range

A wider vertical range than our standard home cinema projectors allows more options for placement and

installation, without reducing image quality.

Perfect panel alignment

Electronic panel alignment ensures precise colour and clarity. Any colour gaps are corrected by shifting the

blue and red areas of each pixel into perfect alignment with green.

Real Colour Processing (RCP Version 2)

Adjust the colour and hue using a target on the projected picture. RCP Version 2 also allows you to adjust

brightness at the same time.
