Bold, rich color, even in brightly lit rooms
Even powerful projectors can suffer from washed-out image colors in strongly lit rooms. Exclusive to Sony, Bright View delivers high-impact imagery without sacrificing color. Newly improved Reality Creation ensures VPL-PHZ51 images, diagrams, and text look clear and sharp, even in bright conditions. Intelligent Settings with Ambiance matches projected images with your environment for an enhanced viewing experience. There’s even an ambient light sensor to measure room brightness.
Clearer, sharper pictures with Reality Creation
Reality Creation is Sony’s advanced processing technology that dramatically enhances the clarity of projected pictures by comparing lower-resolution images with our unique picture pattern database. Now Reality Creation is enhanced with two new modes for the Sony VPL-PHZ51 laser projector that ensure even crisper, clearer images and text.
Better, brighter pictures for longer
Now smarter than ever, Intelligent Settings fine-tunes picture parameters for beautiful images and consistently dependable performance in any environment, from teaching spaces to public venues. Through an optimisation algorithm, laser output and cooling are automatically adjusted according to the frequency of use – prolonging the working life of the projector.
More flexibility for fuss-free installation
Enjoy flexible installation options with a generous +55% vertical lens shift range, making it easy to achieve perfectly-proportioned pictures without long pole mounts or keystone correction when the projector’s ceiling mounted. We’ve also widened the throw ratio range, simplifying replacement of a previously installed projector without the hassle of re-positioning an existing ceiling mount.
Take projected pictures closer to reality
Reality Creation is Sony’s unique real-time signal processing technology that improves picture clarity, especially when you’re using the projector with a lower-resolution image source. Individual frames are matched against our picture pattern database that’s been trained over more than a decade to recognize thousands of distinctive shapes, textures, and patterns. Sophisticated pixel remapping then enhances individual areas of the low-resolution image in real time, ensuring accurately detailed pictures that take you even closer to reality.
Crisper words and lines with Reality Text
Also unique to our, VPL-PHZ51 laser projectors, new Reality Text mode emphasizes characters and lines so your audience can see them more clearly. Words, numbers, and diagrams are crisper, sharper, and easier to read in documents, spreadsheets, graphs, and presentations – so everyone’s clear about the point you’re making.

More life like images with added depth
Our bright, compact laser projectors feature Sony’s most sophisticated Reality Creation signal processing engine yet. High-frequency image areas are sharpened more than low-to-middle frequency parts, giving an accentuated feeling of depth and realism in every scene. With 4K signals, the sharpness of high-frequency parts is even stronger, ensuring image reproduction with close-to-real 4K picture quality.
360° Rotation Projection
Can be tilted vertically at any angle, allowing projection onto ceiling, walls, floors, or angled signage to fulfill presentation in corporate venues of any sizes.
Native 4K 30P input support
Support for 4K 60P input signals makes life simpler when you’re using the projector in multi-screen set-ups with flat panel sub-screens. Just split the same 4K signal to drive all your displays, with no conversion needed. There’s also a high-performance image scaler that effortlessly converts 4K input signals to WUXGA resolution while achieving close to 4K image quality. Now optimized for 4K60P signals, Reality Creation is Sony’s unique picture enhancement feature that gives projected images even greater crispness and depth. There’s also support for devices with content protection such as 4K UHD players.
Designed with intelligence
Intelligent Settings simplifies installation and maximizes performance based on usage, image detail, color richness and fidelity, light output, cooling level, and output noise. The Meeting/Classroom function controls laser output to keep brightness as high as possible for years of real-world use.
Keep dust out of the picture
The laser light source is sealed to prevent dust accumulation and eliminate reduced brightness. The dedicated cooling duct structure for the projector’s 3LCD panels is covered with an air filter to prevent dust from entering.
Focus on great-looking images instead of time-consuming maintenance. The new dust filtration system makes changing filters a thing of the past for general use in classrooms and meeting rooms.* For heavier use in dusty environments, there’s a new clogging sensor to advise when filter cleaning is needed.
*Dust density < 0.03mg/m3 and operating time < 10,500 hours. (1,500 hours/year over 7 years.)
