Laser Light Source and 3LCD Optical System Create High Brightness and Vivid Color Image

Combining a laser light source with a 3LCD optical system, the ground-breaking VPL-FHZ55 projector generates a powerful
4,000 lumens of color light output at WUXGA resolution. The projector’s light engine uses blue laser as its light source, which
excites a phosphorous material that in turn creates white light. The white light is delivered to the 3LCD optical system, which
generates constant, vibrant RGB color through a color splitting process. The resulting 4,000 lumen output produces brightness
sufficient for a broad range of commercial applications.

High-resolution WUXGA Image

The VPL-FHZ55 delivers an amazing resolution of WUXGA (1920
x 1200), which exceeds Full-HD resolution (1920 x 1080). The
VPL-FHZ55 allows projection in a wider display range. More
information can be displayed on the screen, so the user can
see the whole page without scrolling.
Extremely clear and detailed high-quality images are
projected, even on a large screen, and native Full-HD images
can be projected full screen. The ground-breaking VPL-FHZ55
is the ultimate tool for projecting images in a range of
applications requiring exceptional detail.

The VPL-FHZ55 is an innovative ‘lamp-free’ 3LCD projector. Ideal for quality-critical installation applications, it delivers bright, detail-

packed WUXGA images with a resolution that’s higher than Full HD. So your audience only sees big, beautiful pictures… not pixels.

The environmentally friendly, mercury-free laser light source is teamed with 3LCD BrightEra™ technology by Sony. You’ll see

the difference with superb image quality and class-leading 4,000 lumen brightness, plus exceptional contrast and consistent

color stability.

This advanced, highly efficient laser light source typically offers 20,000 hours* of operation with no downtime or replacement

– far higher than traditional projection lamps. Virtually zero maintenance requirements and a range of energy-saving

features reduce total lifetime ownership costs compared with conventional UHP projectors.

The VPL-FHZ55 fits smoothly into almost any environment, from academic institutions, corporate, medical and public sector

organizations, to visitor attractions and retail spaces. Seamlessly blend images from multiple projectors to create super-sized

displays. Install the projector at any angle – even on its side or upside down. With the VPL-FHZ55, there are no limits to your

creative vision.

Vertical/Horizontal Keystone Distortion

With these projectors, keystone distortion of vertically up to
+/- 30 degrees and horizontally up to +/- 30 degrees can
be digitally corrected via the on-screen operation menu
and/or the Remote
Commander™ unit.
This enables detailed
images to be
projected with their
correct geometry,
even when installation
space is limited.
