well-balanced, High-brightness, High-grade Images

Thanks to an improved optical engine, the VPL-HW40ES is 
much brighter than our previous standard home theater 
projectors.  At 1,

7

00 lumens, it produces clearer images and 

faithful colors, even in well-lit rooms.

Reality Creation for Full HD

Developed for the Sony 4K home theater projector, this 
function has now been adapted for the new VPL-HW40ES 
projector.  It reproduces the texture and color of the original 
1080p signal by restoring missing information lost during 
packaging of the original content to disk and for broadcast 
transmission.  As a result, you can enjoy sharp and crisp full 
HD pictures.

Dynamic Image with High Contrast

Contrast enhancer

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 enhance contrast.

Bright Cinema and Bright TV picture Modes

Conventional home theater projectors typically enhance the green color to secure image brightness.  However, the 
VPL-HW40ES boasts the new Bright Cinema and Bright TV Mode.  With optical block and signal processing improvements 
bringing high brightness without a loss in color reproduction and contrast, you can enjoy bright, crisp images even when 
viewing in a well-lit room.

Get Closer to a Real Cinema experience

The VPL-HW40ES is a Full HD 3D home theater projector packed with our latest technology for a incredibly 
sharp, crystal clear cinematic experience.  
Enhanced light efficiency and an optimised optical block, enables the VPL-HW40ES projector to reach 1,

7

00 

ANSI lumen brightness, delivering clearer images in well-lit environments.  An optical engine upgrade, 
contrast enhancer technology increases black and white levels without diminishing peak brightness to 
maximize detail during darker scenes.  Additional features such as Sony’s Bright Cinema and Bright TV 
mode, with SXRD panels, enhances the 3D image even further.  The projector also has Sony’s Reality Creation 
technology.
