SONY VPL-PHZ51 - WUXGA Laser Projector

Incredibly small and light 5300 lumen laser projector

The VPL-PHZ51 features the smallest body in its class and combines exceptional image quality with up to 5800 lm central brightness and extraordinary reliability. Its discreet design, minimal maintenance requirements, and flexible installation options make it the perfect partner for today's integrated AV environments.

• Bright, rich colors even in brightly lit rooms
• Even the most powerful projectors can suffer from washed-out colors when used in brightly lit environments. Bright View, Sony’s unique processing technology that projects bright images while maintaining rich colors, delivers impactful images even in bright corporate and educational environments. The new and improved Reality Creation ensures clear images, diagrams, and text, even under bright conditions.
• Sharper images and text
• Reality Creation uses powerful algorithms that boost image resolution to near 4K quality. Reality Text improves visibility – ideal for conference rooms, university lecture halls, and large classrooms in general.
• Optimized viewing experience
• Intelligent Settings use a built-in light sensor to automatically adjust Bright View mode, color gain, and Reality Creation to suit your presentation environment.
• Optimal pictures and energy saving
• The VPL-PHZ51 is business-friendly and helps you reduce running costs in corporate and educational environments. A new Auto Light Output function works alongside Ambiance, optimizing image quality and maintaining high visibility while reducing power consumption.
• Supports 4K 60p input
• Support for 4K 60p input signals makes life simpler when you’re using the VPL-PHZ51 in multi-screen setups with flat panel sub-displays. Just output the same 4K signal to all your displays with no conversion needed. There’s also a high-performance image scaler that effortlessly converts 4K input signals to WUXGA resolution, while an enhanced Reality Creation achieves image quality that’s close to 4K. Now optimized for 4K 60p signals, Reality Creation is Sony’s unique picture enhancement feature that delivers even crisper, deeper projected images. There’s also support for content-protected devices like 4K UHD players.
• Smart and easy to install design
• Flexible installation options deliver a generous +55% vertical lens shift range, making it easy to create perfectly proportioned images without the need for lengthy mounts or keystone correction when the projector is ceiling mounted. Sony has also widened the throw ratio range, simplifying replacement of a previously installed projector without the fuss of repositioning an existing ceiling mount.
• Brighter images for longer, with less maintenance
• The VPL-PHZ51 delivers a host of innovations to keep pictures looking clear and bright throughout the projector’s operational life, with minimal maintenance, in any environment.
• Smart design
• Intelligent settings simplify installation and maximize performance based on usage – image detail, color vivacity, color fidelity, brightness, cooling level, and output noise. The Meeting/Classroom function controls laser output to maintain the highest possible brightness, delivering years of real-world use.
• Forget about dust
• The projector’s laser light source is sealed to prevent dust accumulation and eliminate brightness reduction problems. The dedicated cooling duct structure for the 3LCD panels is covered by an air filter to prevent dust from entering.
• Hassle-free filter maintenance
• The new dust filter system means replacement filters are a thing of the past for general classroom and meeting room use. For more demanding use in dusty environments, a new obstruction sensor is provided to indicate when filter cleaning is needed.
• Data cloning
• Settings for one projector can be copied to other projectors using a USB memory drive. This greatly simplifies installation and setup of multiple units.
• Auto input select
• The Auto Input Select feature automatically selects an active signal input, so there’s no need to change the input every time a device is connected to the projector.
• Auto Power On
• By connecting the VPL-PHZ51 to a powered-up computer, the projector will automatically turn on, with no need to use the power button.
