Technology

Cinema – to go The VPL-HW50ES projects stunning 1080p 2D and 3D performance with a bright, vibrant picture, plus a 100,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and 2D to 3D up-scaling. Paired with a whisper-quiet fan and ulta-smooth playback with Motionflow technology, this projector is worth the price of admission.	Reality Creation processing 10 years in the making, Sony’s proprietary Reality Creation processing reproduces the original image prior to compression to achieve 1080p. This works by analyzing each pixel, cross-referencing it to a database of images and patterns, then replacing the missing data from compression, producing a clearer, sharper, and more lifelike image.	Picture perfect Want the perfect picture in your home theater? Get rich, deep black levels resulting from a 100,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. You’ll also have no problem projecting right through ambient light brilliantly thanks to 1,700 ANSI lumen brightness.
Bye-bye black bars Recreate a more authentic cinematic experience with the capability to eliminate black bars during movies. The VPL-HW50ES supports anamorphic 2.35 when paired with an external lens.	3D – better and brighter The optional rechargeable 3D glasses work in perfect harmony with the integrated 3D emitter and Sony’s dynamic lamp control technology for vibrant, cinema-quality 3D entertainment.	Align panels perfectly 144 zones panel alignment function allows for +/-2 pixels in 0.1 pixel increments – allowing you to align the panels perfectly for optimal picture quality. This functionality allows you to correct for potential chromatic aberration caused by an external anamorphic lens.
