Built-in 3D sync Transmitter

You can synchronise the projector with the 3D glasses thanks 
to the 3D synchronous transmitter built into the front of the 
projector, thus reducing set-up time and removing the need 
for extra cabling.

whisper-quiet Fan 21dB

The VPL-HW40ES runs very quietly with an advanced air 
discharge system.  Through a highly efficient cooling system, 
fan noise is suppressed to a mere 21dB.  With whisper-quiet 
fan noise, you can concentrate on a movie or game in a 
quiet environment without distraction.

Motionflow

Motionflow technology allows the VPL-HW40ES 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.

Advanced sXRD panels

produce an ultra-smooth picture by minimizing the space 
between pixels at a superfast speed.  The VPL-HW40ES 
is synchronised with our 3D glasses for a jaw-dropping 
experience and minimal crosstalk.

Dynamic lamp Control Technology for 3D

When each of the shutters on the 3D glasses opens, 
Dynamic Lamp Control Technology automatically boosts the 
brightness in the image to that eye, maximizing the picture’s 
impact and the lamp’s efficiency.  This means that you will 
not lose any brightness, but instead attain an optimal visual 
experience from the comfort of your own home.

separate 2D and 3D Modes

The VPL-HW40ES allows you to pre-select separate 
parameters for 2D and 3D content under a variety of 
application modes – Dynamic, Standard, Game, Cinema 
and Photo – as well as automatically recognising 2D or 3D 
input.

panel Alignment Function

The VPL-HW40ES is configured with a function that 
compensates for gaps in character or color management.  It 
is possible to select R (Red) or B (Blue) to make adjustments 
based on G (Green), and to adjust the horizontal and 
vertical direction by shifting the full image or selecting zones 
for each color.

RCp (Real Color processing) Version 2

The VPL-HW40ES offers an RCP (Real Color Processing) 
function to adjust the color and hue of each target color of 
the projected picture independently.  Additionally, version 2 
adds the ability to adjust the brightness at the same time.  
With this capability, you can tweak the images to perfection.
