High-quality Images and
Incredible Performance
Outstanding Brightness of 5200/4000
Lumens in a Beautifully Styled Projector
The VPL-FX41 data projector provides an
outstanding brightness of 5200 lumens, 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 utilize
Sony BrightEra™ technology* with a powerful
275W lamp, these beautifully styled projectors are
excellent for bringing your presentations to life.
*
"BrightEra" is a brand name for the category of next generation LCD
panels having pixels with large aperture ratios and adopting inorganic
alignment fi lms. Sony is the fi rst manufacturer to succeed in
developing this technology for a High-Temperature Polysilicon (HTPS)
TFT LCD panel.
Extremely High Resolution
(SXGA+ or XGA)
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-FX41and VPL-FX40 offer native XGA (1024 x
768) resolution for high picture quality.
3LCD Projection System
Because the VPL-FX41, VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40
adopt a 3LCD projection system, projected images
are bright and natural. 3LCD is a projection system
using three LCD panels (also known as high-
temperature polysilicon or HTPS). This system
provides high light transmission and excellent
color reproduction. It also provides smooth
gradients in dark areas, and even helps prevent
color breakup.
Dynamic Detail Enhancer (DDE) for
High-Quality Video Images
This unique Sony video-enhancing technology
incorporated in the VPL-FX41, VPL-FE40 and
VPL-FX40 projectors generates high-quality images
of outstanding clarity. For interlaced video sources,
I/P (Interlace/Progressive) conversion is applied to
the signals to project clear and sharp progressive
images. When displaying fi lm-originated sources,
signals converted by 2-3/2-2 pull down are
detected, and each frame of the original fi lm is
accurately reproduced.
12-bit 3D Gamma Correction and 3D
Digital Comb Filter
The VPL-FX41, VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40 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 fi ne images and shape boundaries.
