Conventional home cinema
projectors typically enhance the
green colour to secure the image
brightness, however, the VPL-HW50ES
boasts the new Bright Cinema and
Bright TV Mode. With optical block
and signal processing improvements
bringing high brightness without a loss
in colour reproduction and contrast,
you can enjoy bright, crisp images
even when viewing in a well-lit room.

Motionflow
Motionflow technology allows the
VPL-HW50ES to display twice as many
images per second. This algorithm,
unique to Sony, creates completely
new images based on the incoming
signal, and inserts them between
the original frames to reproduce
smoother, sharper motion.

SXRD Panel Technology
SXRD panels minimise the gaps
between pixels to 0.2μm for sharper,
dot-free images, making it possible
to reproduce up to 240 frames per
second. The opening and closing
of the shutters on the 3D glasses are
synchronised to ensure that each
eye receives the correct 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.

Contrast Enhancer Function
This function automatically adjusts
the contrast for optimum viewing.
It compensates for dark and bright
parts of an image by analysing the
signal component of each scene in
real time to ensure that the optical
contrast is obtained.

Without Motionflow
The typical ‘screen door’ effect seen on
projectors without SXRD technology.

The pristine image produced by three SXRD
panels. The SXRD panel minimises the space
between the pixels to 0.2μm.
