VPL-HW45ES & VPL-HW65ES
Developed for our leading 4K Home Cinema projector range, our next generation   
Reality Creation reproduces colours and textures that are lost when movies are packaged   
to disc. It gives you crisper, sharper Full HD pictures, much closer to the 1080p original,   
for even better upscaling. 
Conventional model VPL-HW65ES 
Thanks to an improved optical engine, the VPL-HW45ES & VPL-HW65ES are much brighter 
than our previous standard Home Cinema projectors. At 1,800 lumens, they produce clearer 
images and faithful colours, even in well-lit rooms.
Conventional model VPL-HW45ES & VPL-HW65ES 
Conventional Home Cinema projectors sacrifice some colour accuracy by increasing greens 
to improve brightness. With Bright Cinema and Bright TV modes, the VPL-HW45ES &   
VPL-HW65ES retain true colour and contrast, even in a bright environment.  
						

							Dynamic contrast  
at 120,000:1  
Optical engine improvements and 
advanced Iris 3 technology mean 
we’ve achieved an incredible 
dynamic contrast ratio of 120,000:1. 
It maximises blacks and whites 
without diminishing brightness so 
you won’t miss a detail, even in dark 
scenes (VPL-HW65ES only).
Industry standard   
RF 3D compatible 
 
A built-in RF transmitter 
synchronises with any RF 3D glasses 
for wider coverage, greater stability, 
and there’s no need for an external 
transmitter.
USB updates  
To get the best from your projector, 
the VPL-HW45ES & VPL-HW65ES 
have USB ports, to automatically 
receive the latest firmware updates, 
direct to the projector. 
Wireless HDMI option 
Keep things tidy and free yourself 
from cables with an optional 
wireless HDMI emitter/ receiver kit. 
The VPL-HW45ES & VPL-HW65ES   
will connect wirelessly to your   
Blu-ray Disc™ player, games   
console and more. 
Contrast Enhancer and 
advanced Iris 3
 
Automatically adjusts contrast for 
optimum viewing by analysing 
dark and light areas in every scene, 
without diminishing colour.
Motionflow 
See every detail, even in fast-moving 
action scenes or sports. Motionflow 
technology shows twice as many 
pictures per second by creating extra 
images between the original frames. 
The result is smoother, sharper 
motion with less blur. 
SXRD panel technology 
Our SXRD panels reduce pixel   
gaps for super-sharp images. 
Because our 3D glasses have a 
synchronised shutter speed, you’ll 
enjoy incredible high-definition   
3D with minimal crosstalk.
Low latency mode 
A new feature for gamers. 
Experience our fastest ever   
response time between your 
controller and the screen for 
ultimate gaming action. 
2D and 3D modes 
The VPL-HW45ES & VPL-HW65ES 
automatically recognises 2D or 3D 
content and allows you to pre-select 
Standard, Dynamic, Cinema, Game 
and Photo modes. 
Extremely low fan noise 
Our advanced cooling system 
means fan noise is reduced to   
a whisper-quiet 22db. 
Suitable for home 
automation 
 
The VPL-HW65ES is compatible with 
many home automation systems, 
including Crestron Connected, AMX 
and Control4 SDDP. It has an RS232 
interface, RJ45 control and IR-IN 
terminal (VPL-HW65ES only).
Wide lens shift range  
A wide vertical range allows 
more options for placement and 
installation, without reducing   
image quality.  
Perfect panel alignment  
Electronic panel alignment ensures 
precise colour and clarity. Any colour 
gaps are corrected by shifting the 
blue and red areas of each pixel into 
perfect alignment with green. 
Manual HSV Colour 
Correction
 
A correction tool allows you to adjust 
the gamma and hue, saturation and 
brightness of each colour to get the 
picture you want.
Longer durability 
Enjoy the Home Cinema   
experience for longer than ever 
without interruptions and now with   
up to 6,000 hours lamp life, for 
perfect viewing.
