Well-balanced, High-brightness, High-grade Images

By improving the light efficiency of the lamp and with an optimized optical block, the brightness is increased by approximately 30%* giving much brighter and clearer images in well-lit living rooms. The VPL-HW50ES also provides rich color reproduction due to the improved optical engine design.

Reality Creation for Full HD

Developed for the Sony 4K home theater projector (VPL-VW100ES), this function has now been adapted for the new VPL-HW50ES 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 100,000:1.

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 cinema projectors typically enhance the green color to secure image brightness. However, the VPL-HW50ES 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.

Built-in 3D Sync Transmitter

You can synchronise the projector with the 3D glasses thanks to the 3D synchronous transmitter built into the front of the projector, thus reducing set-up time and removing the need for extra cabling.

Separate 2D and 3D Modes

The VPL-HW50ES allows you to pre-select separate parameters for 2D and 3D content under a variety of application modes – Dynamic, Standard, Game, Cinema and Photo – as well as automatically recognising 2D or 3D input.

RCP (Real Color Processing) Version 2

The VPL-HW50ES offers an RCP (Real Color Processing) function to adjust the color and hue of each target color of the projected picture independently. Additionally, version 2 adds the ability to adjust the brightness at the same time. With this capability, you can tweak the images to perfection.
