With the Sony VPL-HW40ES, enter a new era of ultra high quality 3D imagery, accessible at an affordable price. Packed with exciting innovative features which are easy to use and control, you can experience enhanced immersive 3D movie content without having to leave your sofa.
3D Brilliance for your Home
With the Sony VPL-HW40es, you can experience the award-winning combination of Sony’s explosive 3D imagery and our new, unique Dynamic Lamp Control Technology.
Motionflow
Motionflow technology allows the VPL-HW40ES to display twice as many images per second. This algorithm, unique to Sony, creates completely new images based on the incoming signal, and inserts them between the original frames to reproduce smoother, sharper motion.
SXRD Panel Technology
SXRD panels minimise the gaps between pixels to 0.2µm for sharper, dot-free images, making it possible to reproduce 240 frames per second. The opening and closing of the shutters on the 3D glasses are synchronised to ensure that each eye receives the correct image, thus reducing crosstalk to a minimum.
The result is stunningly detailed, highdefinition 3D images that you believe you can reach out and touch.
Dynamic Lamp Control Technology
When each of the shutters on your 3D glasses opens, Dynamic Lamp Control Technology automatically boosts the brightness (approximately 3x brighter) in the image to that eye, maximising the picture’s impact and the lamp’s efficiency. This means that you will not lose any brightness and attain the optimal visual experience from the comfort of your own home.
Separate 2D and 3D Modes
Allows you to pre-select separate parameters for 2D and 3D content under a variety of application modes – Dynamic, Standard, Game, Living, Cinema and Presentation – as well as automatically recognising 2D or 3D input.
Advanced Iris3 Control
This is an automatic Iris control feature that enhances the contrast in accordance with the scene. It maximises black and white levels without diminishing peak brightness.
Extremely Low Fan Noise (22dB)
Runs very quietly with an advanced air discharge system. Through a highly efficient cooling system, fan noise is suppressed to a mere 22dB. With whisperquiet fan noise, you can concentrate on a movie or game in a quiet environment without distraction.
New Remote Commander
Supplied with a new remote commander, with backlit buttons for ease of use in darkened rooms, one-touch control for many popular adjustments and easy grip for practical convenience.
Adjustable Lens Shift
The VPL-HW40es has an adjustable ‘Lens Shift’ function. Picture position (both horizontal and vertical) can be easily adjusted with the motorised adjustable ‘Lens shift’ function. This expands the projector’s placement and installation options without distorting image quality.
Panel Alignment Function
The VPL-HW30es is configured with a function that compensates for gaps in character or colour management. It is possible to select R(Red) or B(Blue) to make adjustments based on G(Green), and to adjust the horizontal and vertical direction by shifting the full image or selecting points of each colour.
RCP (Real Color Processing) Version 2
Offers an “RCP (Real Color Processing)” function to adjust the colour and hue of each target colour 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.
Fully Digital Signal Processing
The incorporated high quality Engine in the projector is a fully digital integrated picture enhancement engine, optimally engineered by Sony for front projectors. This high quality Engine relies on a collection of Sony-unique algorithms such as noise reduction and colour enhancement to produce sharp, vibrant, life-like images.
BRAVIA Sync
BRAVIA Sync simplifies and enhances the home theatre experience. Through the control capabilities of HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface), the devices sync with one another for intuitive operations such as One Touch Play and System Stand-by.
