Cinematic 4K clarity with four times the detail of Full HD
SXRD panel technology featured in our professional cinema projectors delivers native 4K (4096 x 2160) resolution images, with no artificial pixel enhancement. Every Sony VPL-VW550es detail is clear and natural, without jagged edges or visible pixels.
High brightness and contrast
With an impressive 1,800 lumens brightness and spectacular dynamic contrast range, 4K images are clear with bright highlights and rich, deep blacks – even in well-lit rooms.
Smooth, fluid on-screen action
Coupled with the panel's super-fast response rate, Motionflow technology means you’ll see every detail with minimal blur - no matter how fast the action.
TRILUMINOS™ Display for wider, more natural colours
Sony's TRILUMINOS™ Display technology accurately reproduces a much broader range of colours than a standard projector system. You'll see the difference with finely-reproduced tones and textures plus greater colour purity, depth and realism.
Future-proofed support for latest standards
The VPL-VW550es can project content at up to 60 frames per second (fps) in 4K (at colour signal YCbCr 4:2:0 / 8 bit) for even smoother images with superior colour and realism. Support for HDCP 2.2 lets you enjoy the latest 4K content services.
Reality Creation upscales movies to 4K
As well as projecting native 4K content, the projector upscales your Full HD Blu-ray™ or DVD movie collection to 4K with Reality Creation - Sony's Super Resolution processing technology that enhances lower-resolution content, and even upscales 3D movies to 4K resolution.
Compatible with ‘Mastered in 4K’ Blu-ray™ Discs
Enjoy a near-native 4K experience with discs ‘Mastered in 4K’. It’s as close as you can get to the 4K-pixel resolution and expanded colour range of the original.
Long-lasting lamp
6000 hour rated lamp operating life (in Low mode) means simpler maintenance, with fewer lamp swaps and reduced running costs.
Flexible home installation with wide zoom and shift lens
The powered zoom lens with a 2.06x zoom ratio and wide lens shift range gives greater installation flexibility in any room size, even with high ceilings.
Front-facing fan
With the fan exhaust positioned at the front of the projector, you don’t need to worry about wall clearance and room for air inhale/exhaust when installing. This helps maximise throw distance, for the biggest possible projected images.
Built-in auto calibration
Set-up is quick and easy: auto calibration ensures superb pictures without effort.
Industry standard RF 3D compatible
The projector's built-in RF transmitter synchronises with any RF 3D glasses for wider coverage and greater stability, so there’s no need for an external transmitter.
