Sony has launched what it is claiming are the world’s smallest WUXGA 3LCD laser projectors.
The VPL-PHZ61 and VPL-PHZ51 for corporate, education, museum and entertainment simulation applications.
Both units can be installed on ceilings in meeting rooms and classrooms with a +55% vertical shift, the widest in the fixed lens models. The VPL-PHZ61 offers 6,400 lumens and the VPL-PHZ51 offers 5,300 lumens.

Both new models support 4K60P input for compatibility with 4K video sources. The projectors require no converter when being used with other 4K equipment to simultaneously project 4K content and support the "Deep Colour" of HDMI and the HDCP2.3. The projectors' new Reality Text feature improves text-based presentation materials by providing clearer letters and lines with enhanced legibility.
The projectors also feature advanced Intelligent Settings, which offer optimisation based on usage environment. The addition of customised Bright View functionality enables colours to accurately maintain their contrast and vivacity, even in brightly lit rooms. The new Ambiance feature automatically measures the room's brightness using an ambient light sensor, and further calibrates the Bright View, colour gain and Reality Creation settings accordingly.
The VPL-PHZ61 & VPL-PHZ51 will be available in early 2023.
