Sony VPL-VW550ES Black

Is a standard TV not enough for you? Do you desire to play games and movies on the big screen? Are you finding projectors for this purpose of poor quality? The luxurious Sony VPL projector line can now create spectacular film and gaming experiences in your own home or apartment. The Sony projector provides incredible original signal replication as you can now experience "full-frame" images in rich detail with realistic colours.

Key features

  • Brilliant Large Screen Projection (Native 4K Resolution 4,096 × 2,160)
  • Advanced SXRD panel for rich colours and high contrast ratio resulting in vibrant images
  • Natural, smooth motion (Motionflow)
  • Darker Black with detail and Scaling (HDR)
  • Flexible installation (2.1x zoom + tilt/exhaust front)
  • Built-in RF transmitter for 3D glasses synchronisation 

Projections come alive with unprecedented realism

The advanced SXRD panel has merged with the sophisticated Reality Creation technology to create perfect images on large surface areas (up to 7.6m). The special processor, after analysing the image improves the black, to really dark saturation transition and revives hidden colours. It reveals the finest details, exact shades of colour and complex textures.

Action scenes without image blurring

Regardless of what you are watching the image will be beautifully clear without any blurring thanks largely to the Motionflow high-speed image processing. This innovative feature creates new images between the original frames and inserts the new images between them. This makes the moving images so much smoother without abrupt frame gaps. The whole procedure takes a fraction of a second. You can now enjoy smooth flowing pictures on the big screen.

Configuration for day and night

With an impressive 1800 lumen brightness and a 350,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, the Ultra HD image will be clearly visible with bright whites and deep blacks - even in a well-lit room. The high-pressure lamp generates rich brightness for daytime projection, but if you do not require brightness (eg in the evening), you can save money by not utilising this feature. In addition to reducing energy consumption, lamp life is extended to 6000 hours. This results in lower operating costs and longer lamp replacement intervals.

Flexible installation

The compact projector fits easily into each living room, as installation is straightforward and effortless. Screen set up via the 2.1x zoom enables various distances from the viewing surface to be set, even allowing close proximity distances. The motorised lens adjustments via the remote provide loads of focus, zoom and vertical/horizontal image shift flexibility. The projector utilises a relatively quiet fan that will not disturb viewing situations, even when in close proximity to the projector. Thanks to the practical fan configuration you can position the projector against a wall, without any overheating concerns.

Manufacturer information

Sony Corporation is a Japanese company founded in 1946. Its headquarters is located in Tokyo. Its beginnings were humble. The first product sold under the Sony brand was a transistor radio. It was those radios that played a pivotal role in the company's expansion in the 1960s and the world quickly began to associate Sony products with a reliably stellar price-performance ratio. 

In the 1970s, Sony was severely affected by the global economic crisis. Many analysts considered the company effectively defunct and could see no future for it. However, they underestimated the famous Japanese perseverance and courage. The crisis was not a disaster for Sony; on the contrary, it served as a launching pad to even greater heights. The company recovered and soon changed the media landscape with the development of the CD and later the DVD. In the early 1990s, Sony achieved another major success with the introduction of the PlayStation gaming console. It is the gaming consoles that best represent the intersection of the three key areas in which the company operates today – electronics, video games, and the entertainment industry.
