Sony VPL-VW95ES 3D Home Cinema Projector
Sony has announced the launch o the Sony VPL-VW95ES which is due in the UK in October.
The VPL-VW95ES 3D Full HD projector brings superb picture quality and an unsurpassed 3D home cinema experience. With an extremely high dynamic contrast ratio of 150,000:1, the VPL-VW95ES takes home cinema to the next level. Packed with exciting innovative features which are easy to use and control, the projector brings movies to life with vivid and vibrant imagery and comes supplied with 2 pairs of glasses. The unit has three year warranty and an excellent service back up.
Motionflow
Motionflow technology allows the VPL-VW95ES to display twice as many images per second. This algorithm, unique to Sony, creates completely new images based on the incoming signal, and inserts them between the original frames to reproduce smoother, sharper motion.
SXRD Panel Technology
SXRD panels minimise the gaps between pixels to 0.2µm for sharper, dot-free images, making it possible to reproduce up to 240 frames per second. The opening and closing of the shutters on the 3D glasses are synchronised to ensure that each eye receives the correct image, thus reducing crosstalk to a minimum. The result is stunningly detailed, high-definition 3D images that you believe you can reach out and touch.
Dynamic Lamp Control Technology
When each of the shutters on your 3D glasses opens, Dynamic Lamp Control Technology automatically boosts the brightness in the image to that eye, maximising the picture’s impact and the lamp’s efficiency. This means that you will not lose any brightness and attain the optimal visual experience from the comfort of your own home.
Separate 2D and 3D Modes
The VPL-VW95ES allows you to pre-select separate parameters for 2D and 3D content under a variety of application modes – Dynamic, Standard, Game, Cinema and Photo – as well as automatically recognising 2D or 3D input.
Advanced Iris3 Control
This is an automatic Iris control feature that enhances the contrast in accordance with the scene. It maximises black and white levels without diminishing peak brightness.
Picture Position Memory
With the VPL-VW95ES you can set up to 5 different picture positions. The projector will memorise the positions set to meet the image aspect ratio, for example, to fit the cinema scope screen size, and these positions are selected via the remote control.
Extremely Low Fan Noise (20dB)
The VPL-VW95ES runs very quietly with an advanced air discharge system. Through a highly efficient cooling system, fan noise is suppressed to a mere 20dB. With whisper-quiet fan noise, you can concentrate on a movie or game in a quiet environment without distraction.
New Remote Commander
The VPL-VW95ES is supplied with a new remote commander, with backlit buttons for ease of use in darkened rooms, one-touch control for many popular adjustments (such as picture mode, 3D and picture lens memory) and easy grip for practical convenience.
Adjustable Lens Shift
The VPL-VW95ES has an adjustable ‘Lens Shift’ function. Picture position (both horizontal and vertical) can be easily adjusted with the motorised adjustable ‘Lens shift’ function. This expands the projector’s placement and installation options without distorting image quality.
Vertical range: Max. +/- 0.65V
Horizontal range: Max.+/- 0.25H
Panel Alignment Function
The VPL-VW95ES is configured with a function that compensates for gaps in character or colour management. It is possible to select R(Red) or B(Blue) to make adjustments based on G(Green), and to adjust the horizontal and vertical direction by shifting the full image or selecting zones of each colour.
RCP (Real Color Processing) Version 2
The VPL-VW95ES offers an “RCP (Real Color Processing)” function to adjust the colour and hue of each target colour of the projected picture independently. Additionally, version 2 adds the ability to adjust the colour brightness at the same time. With this capability, you can tweak the images to perfection.
Fully Digital Signal Processing
The incorporated high quality Engine in the VPL-VW95ES is a fully digital integrated picture enhancement engine, optimally engineered by Sony for front projectors. This high quality Engine relies on a collection of Sony-unique algorithms such as noise reduction and colour enhancement to produce sharp, vibrant, life-like images.
Built-in Transmitter
For greater convenience, the projector has the transmitter built in, thus eliminating the need for extra cabling and reducing set-up time.
Jamo JA-A101HCS5 5.1 Speaker Package
With the newer generations of flat-panel televisions taking up ever-diminishing space, the design of popular loudspeaker will have to follow suit. The Jamo A 101 is shallow enough to match the slimmest new TV’s and is only 2”/50mm deep, so it can easily be placed in contemporary home decors.
The high-gloss finish of these cute little rectangles offer a welcome visual complement to every flat-panel TV on the market. They only draw attention when it comes to their impressive sound.
With five identical satellite speakers and matching subwoofer, the Jamo A 101 HCS 5 will offer sound quality that is a vast and impressive improvement over what is offered from modern TV’s. Even though the satellites are small, they are able to project a very impressive sound-field with tremendous articulation of even the tiniest details in the most dramatic soundtrack.
With a 3”/76.2mm midrange driver, the satellites offer a high sensitivity of 85dB/2,8V/1m. They can handle more than 50W power each, which allows for the realistic reproduction that modern action movies demand.
Available in October Q Acoustics have announced they have upgraded the current 2000 series and will be bringing out the following speakers, Q Acoustics 2010i Bookshelf Speakers , Q Acoustics 2020i Bookshelf Speakers, Q Acoustics 2050i Floorstanding Speakers, Q Acoustics 2000Ci Centre Speaker, Q Acoustics 2070Si Subwoofer.
Initial details regarding the new 2000i range
Every model (except the new 2070Si subwoofer) benefits from an all new 25mm dome tweeter incorporating an advanced multi-layered cone material (rather than treated fabric) with ‘super-decoupling’ from the loudspeaker’s baffle as well as integral damping. The new tweeter delivers extraordinar ily low distortion which results in a ‘sweeter’ treble, improved imaging and wider soundstage.
All the main drive units benefit from a new state-of-the-art cone material. The previous paper/mica mix has been replaced with a new carbon fibre and ceramic coated paper material. Sonic benefits are again lower distortion, cleaner more open sound and faster transients. Improvements to the tweeters and bass/mid units necessitated corresponding improvements to the crossovers.
In addition to the other changes, the flagship Q2050i floor standing model now incorporates an oversized voice coil on its main drivers and larger magnet assemblies resulting in lower power compression. The 2050i cabinet has received extensive internal bracing upgrades to control panel resonances and standing wave modes. The Q2050i now boasts ultra-low levels of distortion, typically found of speakers costing three or four times as much. Not surprisingly, as a result it delivers a dynamic open sound quality.
The new Q2070Si subwoofer has improved low frequency extension and attack, which have been achieved through upgrades to its Digital Signal Processing.
New Baffle mouldings, a distinctive tweeter ring and new style ‘Q’ Badges complete the cosmetic changes and differentiate the new 2000i Series from the current models.
As well as traditional ‘Graphite Black’ and ‘Walnut’ finishes the new 2000i models are available in ‘Piano Gloss Black’ and ‘Piano Gloss White’ finishes
