3D BRILLIANCE FOR YOUR HOME
With this projector, you can experience the award-
winning combination of Sony’s explosive 3D imagery
and our new, unique Dynamic Lamp Control techno-
logy. Dynamic Lamp Control boosts the appropriate
brightness when each of your 3D glasses’ shutters
flicks back open. This means that you will not lose
any brightness and attain the optimal visual experi-
ence from the comfort of your own home.
SHARPER, SMOOTHER IMMERSIVE ACTION
When you’re viewing your favourite film, or even trial-
ing the latest release - you want to know that you are
watching the action the way it was meant to be seen.
Sony’s SXRD panel technology minimises the gaps
between pixels for sharper, stunning image quality.
Motionflow automatically inserts extra frames
between the images to improve the smoothness of
the film, and makes action scenes and character
movements flawless.
HUGE RANGE OF USER ENHANCEMENTS
Since the previous model was launched, we have
strived to achieve even better. This projector now al-
lows you to pre-select separate parameters for 2D
and 3D content for Dynamic, Standard, Photo, Game
and Cinema modes, as well as automatically recog-
nising 2D or 3D input. You can customise your view-
ing, to match the room specifications, along with the
content type.
The VPL-HW30ES has integrated 3D with frame-se-
quential 3D USB-chargeable glasses* and a transmit-
ter*. This transmitter will activate the 3D mode – and
bring your content to life.
PRIMESUPPORT

free repairs and a helpline offering expert technical
advice. Which gives you the peace of mind that Sony

Features
Improved 3D brightness
The VPL-HW30ES delivers 3 times the brightness of
the VPL-VW90ES through its new lamp and electronic
technology, also giving better light efficiency for time
sequential 3D pictures.
SXRD panel technology
SXRD panels minimise the gaps between pixels to
0.2μm for sharper, dot-free images, making it pos-
sible to reproduce up to 240 frames per second. The
opening and closing of the shutters on the 3D are
synchronised to ensure that each eye receive the cor-
rect image, thus reducing Crosstalk to a minimum.
The result is stunningly detailed, high-definition 3D
images that you believe you can reach out and touch.
Motionflow
Motionflow technology allows the VPL-HW30ES to dis-
play twice as many images per second. This al-
gorithm, unique to Sony, creates completely new im-
ages based on the incoming signal, and inserts them
between the original frames to reproduce smoother,
sharper motion.
