Sony VPL-VW100 SXRD 1080p Home Theater Front Projector

Built on SXRD™ technology, the VPL-VW100 projector is built from 3 micro display panels supporting high definition 1080p line resolution image. This technology ensures support of HD resolution with a film-like image presented in accurate color rendition and high contrast ratio providing you with the ultimate home theater. Boasting a contrast ratio up to 15,000:1 (with advanced iris on), you'll see it all. This projector's advanced iris technology also helps to improve images by monitoring algorithms and adjusting the iris diameter so images in bright scenes are crisp and clear while black levels in dark scenes are deep and detailed. And forget the annoying loud projector sounds of the past; the VPL-VW100 is designed to remain ultra quiet (while still keeping cool) at a noise spec of just 22dB.

SXRD™ 1920 x 1080p Full HD Panels
SXRD is a new display technology developed by the legendary television engineers at Sony to meet and exceed the demands of a High Definition image at its full 1080 line resolution. It is a 1920 x 1080p panel characterized by several key benefits -- full HD resolution, smooth film-like image with minimal screen door effects, high response times (5ms rise and fall), high contrast ratios and accurate color rendition.

400W Pure Xenon Lamp
A special 400W pure Xenon lamp provides equal brightness output levels for all three primary colors - red, green and blue, used to create the trillions of colors that can be delivered. Natural and accurate color is reproduced with bottomless whites and spectacular reds.

Advanced Iris
The latest evolution of Sony’s own Advanced Iris function uses algorithms designed to analyze the histogram of each picture along with nonlinear amplification to dynamically adjust the iris for its optimum opening. The result is a stunningly high contrast ratio of up to 15,000:1. Images in bright scenes are crisp and clear and black levels in dark scenes are deep and detailed.

Ultra Quiet Fan
An exclusive Sony-designed fan efficiently removes heat at a barely noticeable noise spec of 22dB. Obtrusive fan noise is virtually eliminated to allow for flexibility in room placement.

ARC-F (All Range Crisp Focus) Lens
A specially developed crisp focus lens was developed to take full advantage of the full 1920 x 1080 HD resolution that the SXRD panel device offers. It offers superior resolution and focus.

RCP (Real Color Processing)
Real Color Processing allows the user to target specific colors on the picture and fine adjust their color and hue without changing the overall picture's color and hue. For instance, the color of a strawberry can be fine adjusted without impacting the skin tones. Or the blue in a sky can be adjusted without affecting the color of water. And green grass can be adjusted without influencing the other colors in the picture.
