Well-balanced, High-brightness, High-grade Images
Thanks to an improved optical engine, the Sony VPL-HW55ES is much brighter than our previous standard home theater projectors. At 1,700 lumens, it produces clearer images and faithful colors, even in well-lit rooms.
Reality Creation for Full HD
Developed for the Sony 4K home theater projector, this function has now been adapted for the new VPL-HW55ES projector. It reproduces the texture and color of the original 1080p signal by restoring missing information lost during packaging of the original contents to disk and broadcast transmission. As a result, you can enjoy sharp and crisp full HD pictures.
Dynamic Image with High Contrast
Advanced Iris 3
This is an automatic Iris control feature that enhances the contrast in accordance with the scene. It maximizes black and white levels without diminishing peak brightness. Thanks to improved Advanced Iris3 algorithum, the projector has a dynamic contrast ratio of 120,000:1.
Contrast Enhancer
This function automatically adjusts the contrast for optimum viewing. It compensates for dark and bright parts of an image by analysing the signal component of each scene in real time to enhance contrast.
Bright Cinema and Bright TV Picture Modes Conventional home theater projectors typically enhance the green color to secure image brightness. However, the VPL-HW55ES boasts the new Bright Cinema and Bright TV Mode. With optical block and signal processing improvements bringing high brightness without a loss in color reproduction and contrast, you can enjoy bright, crisp images even when viewing in a well-lit room.
Long lasting lamp
The lamp lasts approximately up to 5,000 hours – that’s roughly 60% longer than our standard home cinema projectors – to lower your costs and total cost of ownership
Improved 3D viewing: RF transmitter compatible
Works with both RF and IR 3D emission systems and meets ‘Full HD 3D Initiative’ industry standards. Using RF 3D glasses gives you greater stability and wider coverage (RF 3D emitter and glasses are optional accessories).
Wireless HDMI option
Keep things tidy and free yourself from cables with an optional wireless HDMI emitter/ receiver kit. Connect wirelessly to your Blu-ray Disc™ player, games console and more.
