provided by the Sony VPL-PX30/PX20 LCD Projector
Combining Sony three-panel LCD technology and a new 200 W UHP lamp, the VPL-PX30 offers an outstanding brightness of 2400 ANSI lumens. The VPL-PX20, with an impressive 1400 ANSI lumens, provides an excellent alternative for situations not requiring installation-level brightness.

3D Gamma Correction

The 3D Digital Gamma correction circuit provides superb gray scale reproduction and, at the same time, helps to improve overall picture uniformity.

RGB Enhancer

To complement their high brightness levels, both the VPL-PX30 and VPL-PX20 utilize three 1.3-inch LCD panels to provide true XGA resolution. For a crisper RGB image, the VPL-PX30/PX20 is equipped with an RGB Enhancer function. A simple adjustment provides heightened image quality to match any image source whether text, photos, or graphics.
