Performance
The overall performance of the VPL-HW40ES depends on the three “SXRD” chips, Sony’s in-house version of LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon). This advance technology from Sony actually offers exceptional contrast ratios that further helps delivering great picture quality. Hence, LCOS-base projects always triumph when it comes to good picture quality.
Light output which is another major aspect to review a projector’s performance is quite decent with an excellent 39.79 fL in 40ES. Such an output is two times more than what you get in most movie theaters, or roughly similar to what you get on plasma screens and about half what you’d get from an LED LCD at full brightness.
