FEATURES

High-quality Images and
Incredible Performance

Outstanding Brightness of
5200/4500/4000 Lumens in a Beautifully
Styled Projector

The VPL-FX41 and VPL-FW41 data projectors provide
an outstanding brightness of 5200 lumens and
4500 lumens respectively, while the VPL-FE40 and
VPL-FX40 data projectors offer a high brightness of
4000 lumens. This allows for dynamic, large-screen
presentations even in high ambient lighting
environments. By combining a new generation of
inorganic LCD panels that uses Sony’s BrightEra™
technology* with a powerful 275W lamp, these
beautifully styled projectors are excellent for
bringing presentations to life.
*

BrightEra is a brand name for the category of LCD panels that have pixels
with large aperture ratios and that adopt inorganic alignment layers.

Extremely High Resolution
(SXGA+, XGA, or WXGA)

Offering native SXGA+ (1400 x 1050) resolution, the
VPL-FE40 projects extremely clear and detailed
high-quality images, even on a large screen. And
the VPL-FX41 and VPL-FX40 offer native XGA (1024 x

768) resolution for high picture quality.
Furthermore, the VPL-FW41 can present clear and
dynamic images in native WXGA (1280 x 800)
resolution on a widescreen.

3LCD Projection Offers Amazing Color
Performance

The VPL-F40 Series adopts the 3LCD projection
system that uses three LCD panels. This system
allows the projectors to present bright and natural
images. It provides high light transmission and
excellent color reproduction with high color light
output†. It also provides smooth gradients in dark
areas, and even helps prevent color breakup or
the rainbow effect††.

†

Color light output is a metric that measures a

projector’s ability to deliver color. Developed by
color scientists using the same approach as light
output (brightness) measurement, color light
output provides a simple, accurate, and easy-to­understand way to evaluate a projector’s color
performance.

††

The rainbow effect may appear as blurring or the
separation of colors. It can only be seen in
images projected by 1-chip sequential color
projection systems.

12-bit 3D Gamma Correction and 3D
Digital Comb Filter

The VPL-F40 Series projectors incorporate 12-bit 3D
Gamma Correction circuitry to perform highly
accurate gamma correction, achieving uniform
image color and brightness that extends right to
the corners of the screen. What‘s more, the 3D
Digital Comb Filter separates Y signals from C
signals with great accuracy, which emphasizes fine
images and shape boundaries.
