The new products from Sony bring new quality definition for the entry-level projectors’ market.
Sony’s new E-series projectors use the BrightEra 3-LCD technology that offers the unparalleled picture quality, higher brightness and an increased panel life.

Each of the new products brings new features to this industry. The VPL-EX50 is Sony’s first 2500 ANSI lumen model under 3kg weight category and the VPL-EW5 is the first native 1280x800 WXGA projector made by Sony. More than that, the EW5 is HD ready and by using the 1280x800 resolution means it’s clearly designed for following the laptops’ widescreen video sources. With a standby power consume less than 3 watts, VPL-EW5 becomes the lowest power consumption projector in its class.

Among the interfaces incorporated by the E-Series I would mention a second RGB input for connection with more than one computer for VPL-EX50 and the RS232C to control the external device (used by all those three new projectors).
Setting up these projectors becomes an easy job for every user with the “Quick Start” and “Off&Go” technology.

The most affordable projector from Sony’s E-Series is the SVGA VPL-ES5 that offers brightness to 2000 Lumens at a SVGA 800x600 resolution. Even though this product doesn’t take advantage of the BrightEra 3-LCD technology, the low-price could make it a good seller on the projectors’ market.

The E-Series address to business and education projector market and offering the BrightEra 3-LCD technology to consumers could be a smart move made by Sony in this entry-level business.
