Brighter pictures for longer

While light levels from other projectors can fade over time, Sony models with Intelligent Settings maintain consistent image brightness for longer. Depending on how often the projector is used, laser output is automatically adjusted to keep image brightness as high as possible throughout the projector’s operating life. This function is available only when the projector is being used in Meeting Room/Classroom mode.

Ambiance matches picture settings to room brightness

The VPL-FHZ85/80 and VPL-PHZ61/51 are the first professional projectors from Sony featuring a built-in ambient light sensor that continuously monitors brightness levels in the room. Intelligent Settings now includes a new Ambiance feature that optimizes picture settings depending on room brightness measured by the projector’s light sensor.  The result: beautiful pictures in brilliantly lit and dim rooms alike.
