High Contrast Ratio – 120,000: 1 with Advanced Iris 3 technology

The Advanced Iris 3 contrast enhancement works like the human eye, responding dynamically to the level of light in each scene, always selecting the optimum contrast. With a very high range of 120,000:1, Advanced Iris 3 can bring out the detail in darker sequences and prevent bright scenes from looking washed out.

Crisp, Smooth Action with Motionflow with Dark Frame Insertion

This technology brings fast-paced, cinematic action to your home. Motionflow with Dark Frame Insertion technology makes motion much smoother through a method called Double Speed Processing. This innovative process creates and inserts artificial frames, first comparing key visual factors on successive frames – for example the position of a car hubcap – then calculating the split second of ‘missing’ action. The optional insertion of darkened frames heightens the contrast and eliminates any judder – by allowing the eye to naturally blend one frame into the next. This action mimics that of actual movie projection.

Anamorphic Zoom Mode

Home Cinema enthusiasts in search of perfection will no doubt be drawn to the Anamorphic Zoom function. This uses sophisticated signal processing of widescreen modes together with an optional third-party anamorphic lens to recreate the immersive 2.35:1 CinemaScope aspect ratio normally only seen in the cinema.

Advanced Colour Enhancement Features

Bringing the VPL-VW85 even closer to the capabilities of the human eye is its support for x.v.Colour. x.v.Colour is based on xvYCC, a new international standard for video that defines a colour space nearly two times wider than the existing sRGB standard, making x.v.Colour literally more lifelike. Deep Colour™ boosts the number of colours available within the xvYCC colour space from millions to billions, further future-proofing the projector against developments in colour handling technology.

Superb Low Fan Noise “20dB”

With whisper-quiet fan noise, users can concentrate on a movie or game in a quiet environment without distraction.

Automatic motorized lens protector

The lens cover automatically opens when the projector powers on, then closes up again when it's turned off to help protect the lens from dust.
