Lamp Dimming Function
The VPL-CW255 and VPL-CX235 are equipped with a lamp
dimming function. After 10 seconds of a static signal being fed,
the lamp dims by approximate 15% which is hardly noticeable.
If one of these projectors is left powered on while not in
use, after a set period of time it will automatically detect
no change of signal input and will dim the lamp to as low
as approximately 30% of original brightness to help reduce
energy consumption.

Superb Picture Quality
Brilliant Color Performance
The VPL-CW255 and VPL-CX235 adopt a 3LCD projection
system incorporating three LCD panels. This system enables
each projector to present bright and natural images.
By combining an advanced generation of inorganic LCD
panels that utilize Sony BrightEra™ technology with a 3LCD
projection system, the VPL-CW255 and VPL-CX235 offer high
picture quality and brightness.

WXGA/XGA Resolution
The VPL-CX235 offers native XGA resolution for high picture
quality. XGA resolution of 1024 x 768 contains 60% more pixels
compared to SVGA resolution of 800 x 600. As a result, XGA
resolution delivers much greater detail and finer images.
The VPL-CW255 can present dynamic images in native WXGA
resolution on a widescreen. WXGA resolution allows projection
in a wider display range compared to SVGA and XGA
resolution. More information can be displayed on the screen.

Lamp and Filter Synchronized Maintenance
The expected lamp maintenance time for each model can
reach up to 5,000 hours depending on the selected lamp
mode, and dust filters require the same maintenance interval.
Synchronizing the timing of lamp and filter maintenance
enables users to reduce the numbers of “ladder climbs” for
maintenance.
