The VPL-HW20 uses Sony’s unique SXRD 3 panel display system for smooth, dot-free display, vivid colours and massive true dynamic contrast ratio (80,000:1). Three separate red, blue and green panels combine to give a virtuoso colour performance, with exceptional detail.

Advanced Iris3 control

This is an automatic iris control feature that enhances the contrast. It maximises black levels without diminishing peak brightness.

True 24p mode

True 24p modedisplays material at a genuine 24 frames per second for an authentic, film-like appearance. Watch films exactly as the creators intended.

Wide range of Gamma correction

A total of 7 Gamma settings provide flexibility to match the brightness curve of the projected image to the image content.

10-bit colour delivery

With 10-bit colour, the VPL-HW20 delivers smoother gradations between shades of the same colour, without the contours that are visible on other displays.
