Create your own home movie theater with the VPL-HS20 Cineza HD-ready
digital LCD projector, which mounts on the ceiling or sits on a table
while projecting onto screens from 40 to 300 inches in size. The Cineza
is designed for longevity, with a lamp that lasts up to 3,000 hours and
an ultra-quiet fan (28 dB) that runs unobtrusively in the background.
The projector's high-resolution picture stems from its single lens
projection system, which transfers a 1,386 x 788 picture across its
three WXGA LCD panels for a total of 3.276,504 pixels (3.27 megapixels).
Viewers will also appreciate the projector's versatile broadcast
facility, with the ability to accept 480i and 480p broadcast signals
along with HD-compatible 1080i and 720p modes. The projector also
accepts images from a computer signal, letting users display PowerPoint
presentations, online movies, and more, and even includes a Memory Stick
slot for instant playback of JPEG still images or MPEG digital movies.
The full impact of a movie's video images are aided by a variety of
picture-sharpening features, including CineMotion 3:2 reverse pulldown,
which automatically converts film frames to produce smoother-looking DVD
images; Slide Shot 2 digital keystoning, which lets users align the
picture horizontally and vertically on the screen with the press of a
button so they don't have to futz with the position of the projector;
and several preset picture modes (dynamic, cinema, and standard) that
adjust to the broadcast source and viewing environment. The projector
also lets users adjust the black level (the projector includes a 1,300:1
contrast ratio), color temperature (warm reds and cool blues), and
brightness.
The projector's audio runs through a built-in speaker system (2 watts x
2), though it's recommended to use an outside audio source for best
performance. Viewers can connect other components through the HD-HDMI
interface (for high-definition signals), component input, S-video input,
composite input, mini-USB input (for computer connection), and audio
input.
