3LCD Projection System
Because the VPL-E Series uses a 3LCD projection
system, projected images are bright and natural. 3LCD
is a projection system using three LCD panels. This
system provides high light transmission and excellent
color reproduction. It also provides smooth gradients in
dark areas, and even helps prevent color breakup.

Sony’s VPL-E Series data projectors are extremely affordable and ideal for a number of
applications, especially in education and business. These projectors are not only stylish,
but they also provide a high brightness of 2500 lumens (VPL-EX50) and 2000 lumens
(VPL-EW5/EX5/ES5). Capable of projecting high-quality images, the VPL-EX50 and VPL-EX5
offer native XGA resolution, while the VPL-ES5 offers SVGA resolution. If widescreen
projection is desired, the VPL-EW5 offers WXGA resolution. These projectors come equipped
with a short focal-length lens enabling large-screen projection from a very short distance.
Because these projectors were designed primarily for education and business, they are
very easy to use and provide security features such as a password authentication system
and a security bar. In addition, they offer a variety of interfaces such as a monitor output,
audio output, RS-232C for control (VPL-EW5/EX50/EX5 only), and High-Definition Multimedia
Interface (HDMI
TM
) for digital video projection (VPL-EW5 only). All of these features combine
to make the VPL-E Series ideal for both classrooms and conference rooms.
