Sony introduces new range of professional laser projectors

Expanding its presence in the professional projectors solutions category, consumer electronics major Sony has launched five new laser and lamp projectors, an official statement said.

The projectors aim to cater to professional users who require higher level of brightness and resolution, with enhanced versatility and affordability for business, academic, large venue or entertainment use, the statement added.

The new products include three 3LCD laser models (VPL-FHZ65, VPL-FHZ60 and VPL-FHZ57).

The new laser models deliver brightness of 6,000 lumens (VPL-FHZ65), 5,000 lumens (VPL-FHZ60) and 4,100 lumens (VPL-FHZ57). The other two are lamp models.

The new laser models are designed to deliver enhanced picture quality with new features such as "reality creation" and "contrast enhancer," both technologies already in use by Sony's home theatre projection systems for high-end consumer entertainment, the statement added.

The new projectors also offer colour space adjustment and colour correction features for more accurate colour reproduction. A laser light source means there is no lamp that needs to slowly warm up or cool down, no lamp to limit tilt angle and no compromise between high brightness and high resolution.

Smartly designed, the new laser models' "quick turn on/off" requires only approximately seven seconds for the brightness to ramp up after turning on, the statement said.
