Sony business projector goes HDMI

Philip Wong | Mar 13, 2008

Sony has announced four new E-series LCD business projectors for Asia Pacific. Among the lineup is the VPL-EW5, a handsome beamer which offers some interesting features. First and foremost, it has a unique 1,280 x 800-native resolution which is pixel-to-pixel perfect for modern widescreen laptops. In addition, provision for light home entertainment duties is also adequately supported via an onboard HDMI input, compatible up to 1080i HD format.

Business presentation credibility-wise, the EW5 is capable of putting out bright 2,500 ANSI lumens and requires a mere 3.1m short throw to cast a sizeable 100-inch projection. Equally adapted for work with the same level of brightness are the VPL-EX50, EX5 and ES5. The former two have a more conventional 1,024 x 768-pixel resolution, while the latter is an entry-level piece with a humble 800 x 600 equivalent. All models are expected to debut from April, though pricing details were not available at press time.
