Features

  • 4K native resolution: over 4x better than Full HD

    No compromises: the VPL-VW500ES provides 4096 x 2160 4K resolution (the DCI standard in digital cinemas). We used our professional cinema expertiseto develop 4K SXRD panels and produce a 4K native picture with no artificial enhancement of pixels.

  • Ultra high contrast ratio and brightness

    Drawing on optical technology developed for the VPL-VW1000ES, weve achieved both high brightness (1,700 ANSI lumens) and high contrast (200,000:1dynamic contrast ratio) in the VPL-VW500ES. So, youll see crystal-clear, bright, detail-packed images even in well-lit rooms.

  • Advanced SXRD panels

    4K digital drive panels minimise the space between pixels in every frame with an incredible response rate of 2.5-milliseconds. Thats much faster,and more stable, than an LCD TV and produces ultra-smooth, dot-free pictures with natural, fluid movement whatever the action.

  • Triluminos Display

    The VPL-VW500s optical engine and SXRD panels incorporate our Triluminous Display technology to produce a much broader colour range, reproducingmore tones and textures than a standard projector system. The result is greater purity, depth and realism.

  • New Motionflow

    Weve enhanced our Motionflow technology. Combination mode uses our Film Projection and Motion Enhancer, adding frames to reduce blur andmaintain brightness in thrilling, fast-moving scenes. Cinema purists can choose True Cinema to retain the original 24 frames per second.

  • Industry standard RF 3D compatible

    A built-in RF transmitter synchronises with any RF 3D glasses for wider coverage, greater stability, and theres no need for a cable.

  • Reality Creation: upscales your movies to 4K

    As well as native 4K material, you can see your current Full HD Blu-ray or DVD movie collection upscaled for a 4K experience. Reality Creation isa Super Resolution technology that radically enhances Full HD content, even upscaling 3D movies for 4K.

  • Compatible with Mastered in 4K Blu-ray discs

    Drawing on the same technology used to downscale 4K material for Full HD, the VPL-VW500ES gives you a near native 4K experience with discsMastered in 4K. Its as close as you can get to the 4K-pixel resolution and expanded colour range of the original.

  • New 4K standard: 60 frames per second

    The VPL-VW500ES can show up to 60 frames per second in 4K (at colour signal YUV 4:2:0). Its the new 4K industry standard and is much higher thanthe earlier 24p. The result is a smoother image with superior colour and realism.

  • Compact design

    A smaller optical engine means the VPL-VW500ES is approximately 18cm shorter in length than our leading projector, the VPL-VW1000ES, so theresgreater flexibility for installation.

  • Front-facing fan

    Because the fan is positioned at the front, you don't need to worry about wall space and room for air inhale/exhaust when you install. This helpsmaximize the throw distance for bigger projected images.

  • Wider zoom and shift lens

    A 2.06 motorised zoom lens and wide lens shift range of 85% vertical and 31% horizontal gives greater installation flexibility even when theceiling is very high.

  • Suitable for home automation

    The VPL-VW500ES is compatible with many home automation systems. It has an RS232 interface, RJ45 control, and IR-IN terminal.

  • Auto calibration

    After extended periods, colour can be automatically calibrated to the original factory condition. Theres no need for extra calibration equipmentor cameras; a built-in colour sensor stores all the necessary information.

  • Manual HSV Colour Correction

    A correction tool allows you to adjust the hue, saturation, and brightness of each colour to get exactly the picture you want.

  • Picture Position Memory

    This feature remembers the position of the zoom lens. You can match it to a movies aspect ratio (including 16:9 and Cinemascope) and store thesettings for a future viewing.

  • Electronic panel alignment

    Ensures the red and blue elements in each pixel are precisely positioned against green. Adjustments can be made by as little as 0.1 pixels foroptimum clarity.

  • USB updates

    To get the best from your projector, the VPL-VW500ES has a USB port for the latest firmware updates.
