VPL-FW41 ^{Previous Model}

Outstanding Colour Light output Brightness of 4500 Lumens in a Beautifully Styled Projector

The VPL-FW41 data projector provides an outstanding brightness of 4500 lumens. This allows for dynamic, large-screen presentations even in high ambient lighting environments. By combining a new generation of inorganic LCD panels that utilize Sony BrightEra technology with a powerful 275W lamp, these beautifully styled projectors are excellent for bringing your presentations to life.

Wide-XGA Resolution (WXGA)

The VPL-FW41 offers native WXGA (1280 x 800) resolution for high picture quality.

3LCD Projection System

Because the VPL-FW41 adopts a 3LCD projection system, projected images are bright and natural. 3LCD is a projection system using three LCD panels (also known as high-temperature polysilicon or HTPS). This system provides high light transmission and excellent colour reproduction. It also provides smooth gradients in dark areas, and even helps prevent colour break-up.

Dynamic Detail Enhancer (DDE) for High-Quality Video Images

This unique Sony video-enhancing technology incorporated in the VPL-FW41 projector generates high-quality images of outstanding clarity. For interlaced video sources, I/P (Interlace/Progressive) conversion is applied to the signals to project clear and sharp progressive images. When displaying film-originated sources, signals converted by 2-3/2-2 pull down are detected, and each frame of the original film is accurately reproduced.

12-bit 3D Gamma Correction and 3D Digital Comb Filter

The VPL-FW41 projector incorporates 12-bit 3D Gamma Correction circuitry to perform highly accurate gamma correction, achieving uniform image color and brightness that extends right to the corners of the screen. What's more, the 3D Digital Comb Filter separates Y signals from C signals with great accuracy, which emphasises fine images and shape boundaries.

Power Zoom/Focus/Lens Shift (Horizontal and Vertical)

The Zoom, Focus, and Horizontal and Vertical Lens Shift functions available with the projectors' supplied power-operated lens and optional lenses can be controlled both from the projector control panel and the supplied Remote Commander unit. Images can be easily adjusted to the desired settings both during installation and when the projector is in use.

Centred Lens Design

The centred lens provides symmetry for a balanced installation of the VPL-FW41 projector, and makes setup very simple.

Maintenance and Notifications Via Network

Because the VPL-FW41 projector can be connected to a LAN, a number of functions can be performed remotely using a web browser. For example, the projector's current status can be verified and simple controls, such as powering the unit on or off, can be performed. Also, the system can be set up to send automatic e-mail reports to designated recipients for scheduled maintenance, including projected lamp life and error reports.

Digital Keystone Adjustment

Vertical Keystone distortion of up to +/-30 degrees can be digitally corrected via the OSD and/or Remote Commander unit of the VPL-FX41 projector. This enables detailed images to be projected with their correct geometry, even when installation space is limited.

Monitor Output for Presenters

Projected images can be monitored by connecting a PC monitor to the VPL-FW41 projector's monitor output and placing it in the presenter's field of view. This allows the presenter to continually face the audience during the presentation for a fluid and professional delivery.

Quiet Operation

The VPL-FW41 projector is incredibly quiet, allowing for smooth and undisturbed presentations. The low fan noise is attributed to a highly efficient cooling system based on Sony's latest technology.

Multi-Function Remote Commander Unit

The supplied Remote Commander unit for the VPL-FW41 is useful for both setting up the projector during installation and changing settings for a presentation. This unit has buttons for direct input selection, so users do not have to toggle through the entire range of inputs to select the desired one. With the projector ID function, each projector in a multiple-projector installation can be controlled independently from a single remote.

Network Presentations

When the VPL-FW41 projector is installed on a LAN, presentations can be projected from any PC on that network - whether connected via a LAN cable or wirelessly. Switching from presenter to presenter is as easy as clicking a mouse - there's no fussing with cables.
