Sony has released its latest WUXGA laser projector, the VPL-PHZ60 and VPL-PHZ50 which combines quality, installation flexibility and reliability.

Each of the new projectors are less than 4” high and weigh approximately 6.8kg, ideal for a range of corporate, education and entertainment applications.

Due to its size and weight, it is now the industry’s smallest WUXGA 3LCD laser projector in its lumen class. With a wide lens shift function and intelligent setting mode, the new systems are optimised for use in small-to-medium sized conference rooms and classrooms.

The VPL-PHZ60 and VPL-PHZ50 were designed with flexibility and ease of use in mind.  Both come with best-in-class wide lens shift of vertical +55%, enabling easy ceiling-mounting as well as supporting 4K 30P.

Additionally, Sony’s picture engine enables a new ‘Bright View’ feature which projects vivid images with high visibility even in bright environments while maintaining the RGB balance with minimal colour shift.

The installation location pre-sets automatically adjust the image quality, light source output level and cooling system, while the adaptable Advanced Intelligent Setting function simplifies the installation process by automatically selecting the best configuration based on the projector’s environment.

“Sony was the first to market with a laser light source 3LCD projector in 2013 and we’ve continued to evolve our line-up and expand our offerings ever since,” Sony Professional Solutions display product manager Australia and New Zealand Anna Tan says.

“As we enhance our portfolio, we are setting new standards while meeting market demand.  The VPL-PHZ60 and VPL-PHZ50 are thoughtfully designed choices that offer our customers brightness, dependability and flexibility, in a compact form factor. These new models provide users with two more impressive options which empower them to select the projector best suited to their specific needs and budgets.”
