Superb brightness of 1800 ANSI lumens
For superb brightness, both new Sony portable projectors use Sony’s original Virtual Light system with an all-new super high aperture liquid crystal panel and a newly developed ultra-bright 165W UHP lamp. An elliptical reflector provides an extremely smooth surface that collects light with exceptional efficiency and a concave lens provides very small and precise light source. All together, these innovations give you a brighter, sharper, more eye-pleasing image.
Cutting-edge style, carry-on portability
With simple, elegant cabinet design, the Sony VPL-CX5 take projector styling to new levels. Just the buttons most commonly used are located on the sleek top panel, giving the cabinet a flat, smooth appearance and making it easy to handle when you’re in transit. Other controls and connectors are conveniently concealed behind a cover when not in use.
To lighten your load, the projectors weigh less than 5 lb15 oz. Both models provide a handsome, durable carrying bag, so they can be always at your side and ready for action anywhere, anytime.
USB compatibility, remote control convenience
The VPL-CX5 are USB-ready — supplied with a dedicated remote control unit that gives you integrated wireless mouse function for point-and-click control of your USB-connected computer.

Powered lens protector
When power is switched on, the powered lens protector opens automatically. You never waste time
looking for a missing lens cover — it’s always safe on your projector.
Powered tilt adjuster and Auto Keystone Correction
A power operated tilt adjuster sets the projector's shooting angle, and keystone distortion is automatically corrected according to the tilt angle. The tilt angle is adjustable from the remote control unit and the new setting is retained in memory.
Keystone distortion can be corrected up to 15 degrees. This means you can project images with correct geometry even where installation space is limited.

A Smart APA function automatically sizes and adjusts your image display for optimum picture performance. You are free from making those difficult and time-wasting adjustments.
