4K SXRD Home Theater Projector with 1800 lumens brightness, 350,000:1 contrast
Bring the immersive excitement of true 4K cinematic images into every living space. Available also in a contemporary premium white finish, the Sony VPL-VW550es Home Theater projector makes a stylish addition to any interior.
Advanced SXRD panel technology delivers incredible 4K images with four times the resolution of Full HD. You'll experience rich colours, 1800 lumens brightness and high contrast ratio - for vibrant, detail-packed pictures with native 4K resolution that always look clear and sharp, even in daylit living rooms.
You're future-proofed with compatibility for the latest 4K standards - so you'll get the very best out of today's content, and tomorrow's.
The compact VPL-VW550es fits neatly into any home theatre or living room, with low fan noise that won't disturb the show, wide zoom/lens shift range and a front-facing exhaust port for extra installation flexibility. The projector's long-lasting lamp is rated for an extra-generous 6,000 hours operation (in Low Mode), for fewer interruptions and reduced maintenance costs.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
6000 hour rated lamp operating life (in Low mode) means simpler maintenance, with fewer lamp swaps and reduced running costs.
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.
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.
Set-up is quick and easy: auto calibration ensures superb pictures without effort.
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.
