Advanced Technology, Advanced Quality
Key technologies in the BRAVIA® VPLVW60 help it deliver an outstanding home theater experience. The first is a trio of SXRD 1920 x 1080p full HD panels. SXRD is a 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 (2.5ms rise and fall), high contrast ratio with wire grid polarizers and high contrast plate and accurate color rendition. 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 35,000:1. Images in bright scenes are crisp and clear and black levels in dark scenes are deep and detailed. A manual adjustment option is available to fix the iris opening for specific image conditions.
BRAVIA Engine Video Processing System
The VPLVW60 projector uses Sony's BRAVIA Engine full digital video processor for crisp and clear images. Several special picture enhancement technologies are integrated into the processor to create better gradations with more detail, enhance contrast, and dynamically improve color performance. Digital noise reduction circuits reduce block noise and mosquito noise by using pixel-level filtering to reproduce a clean and clear picture. And Motion Vector Noise Reduction reduces just the noise in the video signal for video further reducing unwanted noise and blur artifacts. A digital contrast enhancer circuit improves contrast by enhancing all areas from dark to bright in parallel with texture control providing a three dimensional picture. Finally, Color Reality signal processing enables the expression of all the colors of life in vivid detail for dark and bright scenes. Details in dark areas of the picture are there, just like they are supposed to be.
All Range Crisp Focus Lens
The ACR-F (All Range Crisp Focus) lens on the VPLVW60 is a specially designed crisp focus lens 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. The VPLVW60 has an "Anamorphic Zoom" mode in the wide modes to enjoy a wider aspect ratio. With this mode, it is possible to create a full 2.35:1 image just like a movie theater when using commercially available external anamorphic lenses.
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 pastures can be adjusted without affecting the color of water. And green grass can be adjusted without influencing the other colors in the picture.
Panel Alignment Adjustment Function
The VPLVW60 is configured with a function that compensates gaps in panel alignment. It is possible to select R (Red) or B (Blue) to make adjustments based on G (Green), and to adjust the horizontal and vertical direction by shifting full image of each color. A crosshatch pattern is provided for this purpose. It is possible to adjust each color by 0.1 pixel steps up to 1 full pixel in each direction.
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.
Don't Forget The Cables
If you are using an HD DVD player, a receiver, or anything else that is capable of sending a high definition signal, don't forget to purchase the right cables. Many people don't realize what a significant difference the right cables make, and when they get their new high definition equipment home, they think the equipment itself is to blame when the picture isn't as good as it should be. This is because most components (HD-DVD, Blu-ray, receivers, etc) don't come with cables, so people often use whatever they have around the house, or buy cheap cables, thinking "it will do." Another reason people don't buy the right cables is because trying to figure out which cables you need can be daunting, and itÕs hard to know where to start. Our sales representatives are there to explain all your options, so you can make the best purchase and get the most out of your new VPLVW60 projector.
