Sony HD Home Theater ES Projector

Sony’s step-up Full HD projector is a perfect choice for those looking to take their home theater experience to the next level. Performance improvements from the HW40ES include an increase in brightness to 1800 lumens and the addition of Dynamic Lamp Control, which allows the projector to achieve a 120,000:1 contrast ratio, improving its rendition of high-contrast scenes. The integrated 3D transmitter and 240Hz panel drive work together creating bright 3D images nearly free of crosstalk. These features, combined with the whisper quiet 21dB operation, make the VPL-HW65ES a great fit for a mid-range home theater.

Spectacular Full HD pictures with Advanced Reality Creation

Advanced SXRD® panel technology is teamed with Advanced Reality Creation — Sony’s Super Resolution processing technology that refines subtle details, colors and textures. You’ll see the difference with crisp, sharp Full HD pictures that take you closer than ever to the original 1080p source.

 

High brightness and high contrast ratio

With an impressive 1,800 lumens brightness and high 120,000:1 dynamic contrast range, Full HD images are clear and with bright highlights and rich, deep blacks – even in well-lit rooms.

 

Smooth, fluid on-screen action

Coupled with the panel’s super-fast response rate, Motionflow™ technology means you’ll see every detail with minimal blur — no matter how fast the action.

 

Long-lasting lamp

6000 hour rated lamp operating life (in Low mode) means simpler maintenance, with fewer lamp swaps and reduced running costs.
