Lamp and Filter Synchronized Maintenance
When it’s time to clean the air lter, a reminder message is
clearly displayed on screen. Like the lamp, the air lter has
an approximate 6,000-hour cleaning cycle. The lter only
needs to be cleaned when the lamp is changed, saving
maintenance effort and cost.

High Picture Quality and Bright Images
By combining a new generation of inorganic LCD panels that
utilize Sony’s BrightEra™ technology with a 3LCD projection
system, the VPL-EX175, VPL-EX145, and VPL-EX120 offer high
picture quality and brightness.
3LCD Projection Offers Brilliant Color Performance
The VPL-E Series adopts a 3LCD projection system
incorporating three LCD panels. This system enables each
projector to present bright and natural images.
12-bit 3D Gamma Correction
The VPL-E Series incorporates 12-bit 3D Gamma Correction
circuitry to perform highly accurate gamma correction,
achieving smoother gradations and a richer gray scale.
I/P Conversion and Film Mode
The video signal processing technology that Sony has
incorporated in the VPL-E Series offers I/P conversion and 2-3
pull-down to generate high-quality images with outstanding
clarity.
XGA Resolution
XGA resolution of 1024 x 768 contains 60% more pixels
compared to SVGA resolution of 800 x 600. As a result, XGA
resolution delivers much greater detail and ner images.
Off and Go
Once a presentation is complete, a VPL-E Series projector can
be immediately moved to the next location, simply by turning
it off and unplugging the AC power cord – there’s no need to
wait for the fan to stop.
Front Exhaust
Users can run an optimum
presentation even in a quiet
environment, and participants
seated to the side of the projector
are not bothered by hot air and
noise.
