& VPL-CW275  
Projectors 
The VPL-CW255 and VPL-CW275 are designed to deliver a low total cost 
of ownership and include easy to operate, environmentally conscious 
features without compromising on superior quality and reliability.
The projectors offer 4500 and 5100 lumen brightness and 1.32 - 
1.91:1 throw ratio for new or WXGA replacement business in most 
large classrooms or large meeting rooms.   
Furthermore, in common with all Sony projectors, these projectors 
feature the Sony BrightEra 3LCD inorganic panel technology that 
delivers higher picture quality, substantially brighter images, higher 
efficiency, better contrast, consistent colour stability and longer 
durability and usability. 
The VPL-CW255 features 3 brightness modes to suit each individual 
user’s needs. The low brightness mode generates lower operating 
costs by reducing power consumption and extending the lamp 
lifetime to approximately 5000 hours. The VPL-CW275 replaces the low 
mode brightness feature with Auto Mode, allowing the lamp brightness 
to change with the image presented for optimum efficiency and 
picture quality. Both projectors have a contrast ratio of 3700:1, video 
inputs, HDMI and RJ45 or RS232C connectors for control. 
Lens Shift Function
 
The projectors are equipped with horizontal 
and vertical lens shift functions for greater 
installation flexibility. Using this function, the 
position of the projected image can be 
moved vertically up and down by 5.0% and 
horizontally from -3.0% through to +3.0%.
1.32 - 1.91:1 Throw Ratio 
Both offer a 1.32 - 1.91:1 throw ratio 
that can accommodate most large 
classrooms or large meeting rooms 
current replacement installation.  
ECO Lamp Dimming 
The projectors (if this function is 
selected) can reduce power 
consumption and brightness 
by 10-15%. After a user pre-set 
time, the brightness and power 
consumption will reduce to 30% 
power usage, with instant 100% 
brightness returning as soon as  
a new signal input is detected.     
ECO Picture Mute -  
(Instant Off/Instant On) 
The new ECO Picture Mute feature 
reduces power consumption down 
to 30%, saving cost and lamp 
hours. This feature can be used in 
the classroom as instant off/instant 
on in-between class changes or in 
the corporate market as a tool to 
redirect attention away from the 
screen. There is no need to power 
completely off and turn back on 
which is time consuming. 
4000/5000 Hours Lamp Life*   
A new driving scheme reduces 
gap expansion that minimises 
brightness gradation. A new 
cooling system allows uniformity  
in the temperature of the  
glass bulb which prevents the 
glass from clouding.
