Overview

Sony VPL-PHZ51

Impressively small, light 5,300-lumen laser projector

Our brightest ultra-compact professional projectors are enhanced with smart features and an all-new anti-dust system. They’re an inspired choice for conference rooms, university lecture halls and large classrooms, as well as E-sport applications.

Beautifully slim and light with the smallest body in its class, the VPL-PHZ51 laser projector combines outstanding picture performance with up to 5800-lumen center brightness and impressive reliability. A discreet blend-in design, minimal maintenance needs and flexible installation options make it the natural partner for today's integrated AV environments.

Even powerful projectors can suffer from washed-out colors in strongly-lit rooms. Exclusive to Sony, Bright View delivers high-impact imagery without sacrificing color. Newly improved Reality Creation ensures images, diagrams and text look clear and sharp, even in bright conditions.

Intelligent Settings with Ambiance matches projected images with your environment for an enhanced viewing experience. There’s even an ambient light sensor to measure room brightness.

Features

  • Clearer images and text: Reality Creation uses powerful algorithms that boost image resolution closer to 4K-like quality. Reality Text improves visibility of characters: great for conference rooms, university seminar rooms and large classrooms.
  • Bright, beautiful colors: Bright View is Sony’s unique processing technology that brightens images while maintaining rich color – even in brightly-lit business and educational environments.
  • Enhanced viewing experience: Intelligent Settings with Ambiance uses a built-in light sensor to measure room brightness, automatically adjusting Bright View mode, color gain and Reality Creation to suit your presentation environment.
  • Enjoy optimum pictures while saving energy: The VPL-PHZ51 makes sound business sense, helping you reduce running costs in corporate and educational environments. A new Auto Light Output feature works in conjunction with Ambiance, optimizing image quality and maintaining high visibility while reducing power consumption.
  • 4K 60P input signals support: makes life simpler when you’re using the VPL-PHZ51 in multi-screen setups with flat panel sub-screens. Just split the same 4K signal to drive all your display devices with no conversion needed. There’s also a high-performance image scaler that effortlessly converts 4K input signals to WUXGA resolution while achieving close to 4K image quality. Now optimized for 4K60P signals, Reality Creation is Sony’s unique picture enhancement feature that gives projected images even greater crispness and depth. There’s also support for devices with content protection such as 4K UHD players.
  • Smart, installation-friendly design: Enjoy flexible installation options with a generous +55% vertical lens shift range, making it easy to achieve perfectly-proportioned pictures without long pole mounts or keystone correction when the projector is ceiling mounted. We’ve also widened the throw ratio range, simplifying replacement of a previously installed projector without the hassle of re-positioning an existing ceiling mount.
  • Brighter for longer with less maintenance: There is plenty of innovation inside the VPL-PHZ51 to keep pictures looking clear and bright over the projector’s operational lifetime with minimal maintenance, in any environment.
  • Designed with intelligence: Intelligent Settings simplifies installation and maximizes performance based on usage, image detail, color richness and fidelity, light output, cooling level and output noise. The Meeting/Classroom function controls laser output to keep brightness as high as possible for years of real-world use.
  • Keep dust out of the picture: The projector’s laser light source is sealed to prevent dust accumulation and eliminate reduced brightness. The dedicated cooling duct structure for the projector's 3LCD panels is covered with an air filter to prevent dust from entering.
  • Hassle-free filter care: Focus on great-looking images instead of time-consuming maintenance. The new dust filtration system makes changing filters a thing of the past for general use in classrooms and meeting rooms.* For heavier use in dusty environments there is a new clogging sensor to advise when filter cleaning is needed.
    *Dust density < 0.03mg/m3 and operating time < 10,500 hours (1,500 hours/year over 7 years).
  • Data Cloning: Settings for one projector can be copied to other projectors using a USB memory drive. This greatly simplifies installation and setup of multiple projectors.
  • Auto Input Select: This feature automatically selects an active signal input, so there’s no need to change input each time a device is connected to the projector.
  • Auto Power On: Connect the VPL-PHZ51 to a switched-on computer, and the projector turns on automatically without having to operate the power button.
  • More picture power in every environment:
    • Conference rooms: Impress your audience with large, vibrant images and sleek, contemporary styling.
    • Lecture halls: Engage every student in larger teaching spaces with crisp, high-brightness pictures.
    • Golf simulation: Reality Creation brings even more lifelike detail, color and texture to each blade of grass.
