powerful picture Calibration Features
There are eight calibrated presets to optimize various content.
Cinema Film1
Highly dynamic
and clear images

positive film
TV
Watching TV
programs, sports,
concerts, etc.
Bright Cinema
Movies in a bright
environment, such
as a living room
long-lasting lamp
The lamp lasts approximately up to 5,000 hours – that's
roughly 60% longer than our standard home theater
projectors – to lower your costs and total cost of ownership.
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-HW55ES 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-HW55ES 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-HW55ES
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-HW55ES 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-HW55ES 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-HW55ES 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.
