The Key to Smart Presentations
the Sony VPL-PX40 Projector

Picture Quality

High Brightness and Contrast
With a new optical system incorporating Sony LCD panels and a 265 W UHP lamp, the VPL-PX40 offers an outstanding brightness of 3500 ANSI lumens. High-quality images can be projected even in high ambient-light conditions, producing an extremely high contrast ratio.

Flexibility

Smart APA
Dot phase and image size or shift can be automatically adjusted to their optimal settings according to input signals.
The Benefits of Networking
The VPL-PX40 can even be controlled via a TCP/IP-based network connection, which also enables users to receive maintenance information. This functionality is ideal for offices and schools equipped with a Local Area Network (LAN).
Two optional lenses are available, giving users the ability to customize the VPL-PX40 to perfectly suit any projection environment.

Visuals

Leave a lasting impression. With its brightness of 3500 ANSI lumens* and high contrast level, the VPL-PX40 is the easy and effective way to view presentations in any environment or lighting condition. Its 3D Gamma Correction and 3D Digital Comb Filter features, plus an RGB Enhancer for RGB and DDE for video, combine to make pictures always look their best.

*ANSI lumens is a measurement unit defined by the American National Standards Institute IT7.228. Since there is no uniform method of measuring brightness, specifications may vary among manufacturers.

3D Gamma Correction

The 3D Digital Gamma Correction circuit simultaneously provides superb grayscale reproduction and helps to improve overall picture uniformity.

High Resolution

By utilizing three 0.99-inch XGA LCD panels, the VPL-PX40 provides a clean and detailed reproduction of all images.
Fixed short-focus lens Throw ratio*: 0.9:1
1.5-times zoom long-focus lens Throw ratio*: 3.35-4.9:1
Dynamic Detail Enhancer (DDE)
This unique Sony technology generates high quality images through the Interlace/Progressive conversion processor. Signals of film-originated sources converted through 2-3 and 2-2 pull down process are detected, resulting in extremely accurate image reproduction.
*Throw ratio is the distance between the center of the projector lens and the screen, divided by the screen width.

Floor Installation
Digital Signal Processing
The VPL-PX40 achieves high picture quality with Sony original Digital Signal Processing technology. The VPL-PX40 provides digital signal processing by adopting a newly developed driver for the LCD panel that directly accepts digital signals; thus the projector is capable of projecting images with high accuracy.

Back-to-Front Tilt

The VPL-PX40 can be tilted upwards or downwards by 90 degrees. This flexibility greatly expands the projectors application possibilities.

RGB Enhancer

For a crisper RGB image, the VPL-PX40 is equipped with an RGB Enhancer function. A simple adjustment provides heightened image quality to match any image source whether text, photos, or graphics.
Complete the experience. An integrated stereospeaker system delivers audio to support the presentation visuals for even greater impact.

4-times Digital Zoom

To help convey a clear message, the 4-times Digital Zoom function allows users to zoom in on any part of the projected image during a presentation.
Digital Keystone Adjustment
Keystone distortion, caused when the projection angle is not properly calibrated, can be easily corrected within a wide adjustment range of +/- 20 degrees. The necessary adjustments can be easily made via the On-Screen Display.
Useful Remote-Control Unit
The supplied remote-control unit is equipped with keys to control various projector functions, for smooth, persuasive presentations every time. It has an integrated mouse function for point-and-click control of a USB-connected computer, and it can work as a laser pointer to direct the audiences attention and guide them through the presentation.

Stereo Sound

Users can improve the impact and effectiveness of presentations with stereo audio output from the built-in stereo-speaker system.

Ceiling Installation

The broad installation capabilities of the VPL-PX40 enable the projector to be mounted on the ceiling or floor, or installed in a rear-projection system. Installation flexibility is further enhanced by the choice of two optional lenses. With the Direct Power-On function, the projector can be turned on or off quickly using a circuit-breaker switch on a switchboard, and for added security, the VPL-PX40 incorporates a password-authentication system.

On-Screen Display (OSD)

The OSD, which provides easy projector control, is available in a choice of nine languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, or Korean.

Input Versatility

Multiple Inputs
Using a built-in high-performance scan converter, the VPL-PX40 accepts a wide range of input signals: composite video, S-Video, Y/R-Y/B-Y, Y/PB/PR and RGB video, as well as analog and digital computer signals. A variety of DTV signals (480/60i,575/50i,540/60p,480/60p,575/50p,720/60p, 720/50p, 1080/60i, and 1080/50i) are also fully supported, extending its potential even further.
PSS-610 Projector Suspension Support (not supplied)

Direct Power On and Off

With this function, standby mode can be skipped over to activate the VPL-PX40 immediately. And thanks to a cooling fan with drive circuitry that works even after the power has been cut, the projector can be turned on or off using a circuit-breaker switch on a switchboard.
