Full HD 1080p with 3 SXRD™ 1920 x 1080 Panels

Three SXRD^TM 1920 x 1080p micro-display panels support Full HD 1080p resolution for an impressive combination of vivid color, film-like image quality, and high-definition brilliance. Enjoy cinematic-quality images.

Advanced Iris 3

The Advanced Iris 3 function provides up to a 150,000:1 Dynamic contrast ratio² by optimizing both dark and bright scenes to produce deep black levels with stunning details.

x.v.Color™

x.v.Color technology takes HD color expression to new levels. When connected to x.v.Color capable video sources, such as select Sony® camcorders, the VPL-VW85 can display nearly twice as many (1.8x) viewable colors as the existing RGB color standard, resulting in more natural, life-like images.

Noise reduction functions

The VPL-VW90ES features noise reduction functions that analyze scenes in real time to identify various types of noise and reduce unwanted artifacts, such as mosquito noise and block noise, without compromising the video signal.

1.6x Zoom Lens

A 1.6x zoom lens provides a short focus distance and takes full advantage of Sony® SXRDTM technology to provide superior resolution and focus.

HDMI™ Inputs x 2

The VPL-VW90ES BRAVIA® SXRD™ 1080p Home Cinema Projector offers two HDMI inputs (up to 1080/60p capable) that deliver uncompressed digital video over one cable (cable sold separately).

RS-232C connectivity

RS-232C connectivity enables operation of the projector using a home theater automation controller.

Functional Cosmetic Design for Home Theater

The VPL-VW90ES features a stylish, sophisticated design befitting a Home Cinema Projector of its caliber. Sleek, rounded edges and a dark exterior color coordinate well with any high-end home theater environment, and the metallic painted finish draws inspiration from the celestial beauty of a starry midnight sky.

BRAVIA Engine™ 2

BRAVIA Engine 2 fully digital video processor uses a collection of unique Sony® algorithms to significantly reduce noise, enhance overall image detail, and optimize contrast so every scene produces sharp, vibrant, life-like images.

24p True Cinema™

24p True Cinema technology provides a direct connection to 24p video sources so you can avoid conversions and enjoy films at their intended 24 fps (frames per second).

ARC-F (All Range Crisp Focus) Lens

A specially developed ARC-F (All Range Crisp Focus) lens takes full advantage of the SXRD™ panels to deliver Full HD 1080p resolution with superior clarity and focus.

Anamorphic Zoom Mode

Anamorphic Zoom Mode works with an optional anamorphic lens¹ to take full advantage of panel resolution and screen size for a true cinema experience.

Ultra Low Fan Noise 20dB

Exclusive Sony-designed fan delivers efficient cooling and whisper-quiet operation (20dB).

12V Trigger x 2

One (selectable) 12V trigger allows for easy control for both a screen or an optional anamorphic lens.

RCP (Real Color Processing) function

RCP (Real Color Processing) function allows adjustment of specific colors on the picture without changing the overall image's color and hue.

200W Ultra-High-Pressure Lamp

A 200W Ultra-High-Pressure Lamp delivers natural color with a brightness of 1000 ANSI lumens³.

Motionflow™ 240Hz Panel Drive with Dark Frame Insertion Technology

Doubles the frame rate in video sources to reduce judder and deliver a smoother more natural viewing experience.

Deep Color

By combining a 10-bit processor with 10-bit SXRD™ panels, the VPL-VW90ES can create and display 64 times the level of color expression of 8-bit projectors, resulting in smoother color gradations and helping to avoid a “paint-by-numbers” look.

Panel Alignment function

A Panel Alignment function enables pixel alignment to within 1/10th of a pixel, making it possible to shift the entire picture or specific zones to adjust for color gaps and produce a brighter, clearer, and more detailed picture.

Motorized Lens Shift

Motorized Lens Shift provides vertical and horizontal adjustments of the picture position, expanding the projector's placement and installation options without distorting image quality.

Various Analog Inputs

The VPL-VW90ES features various analog inputs including YPbPr Component, Composite video, and a PC input (D-sub 15-pin) for easy connection to a wide variety of video sources.

BRAVIA Sync™

BRAVIA Sync gives you one-touch access and control functionality other over BRAVIA Sync compatible equipment using the projector’s remote and on-screen display.
