HD ready, ideal for in-home leisure
The HD-Ready VPL-BW7 has been designed to be placed anywhere in the home and can be easily set up and connected to a PC, laptop or gaming console for a truly immersive experience. Users will find its 2000 ANSI Lumens provide a high degree of brightness, thanks to Sony’s BrightEra technology, which makes the projector ideal for screenings in brightly lit environments.
The VPL-BW7 not only delivers a true widescreen home cinema experience, but offers gaming enthusiasts great flexibility when it comes to location, as moving the projector can be done seamlessly with Auto Keystone Correction. This allows the projector to be placed in different locations around the home without distorting the image. The manual One-push height adjuster and the easy to use Control Panel make this projector practical and simple to use.
Housed in a stylish yet light and portable body, the VPL-BW7 features a native WXGA (1280×800) resolution which suits 16:9 widescreen viewing of film and video and also boasts Sony’s 3LCD panel technology and a contrast ratio of up to 1000:1, delivering 720p HD resolution. In addition, the VPL-BW7 incorporates 12-bit 3D Gamma Correction circuitry to perform highly accurate gamma correction, achieving uniform image colour and brightness that extends right to the corners of the screen reproducing gradation in more detail.
“The VPL-BW7 brings HD quality into the home of any enthusiast and its affordable price tag means this could be the perfect gift for family and friends,” commented Takayuki Nakane. “What’s great about this is that it can be moved from room to room, set up almost anywhere and, users are sure to be impressed by its vibrant colours and exceptional image quality, allowing for a truly cinematic experience in the home.”
