4,100 lumens WUXGA laser light source projector
Overview
Superb image quality plus low running costs, minimal maintenance, flexible installation and low fan noise
The VPL-FHZ57 laser projector is ideal for a wide range of business, education and entertainment applications.

The laser light source allows up to 20,000 hours* of virtually zero maintenance operation without the worry of
sudden lamp failures. Constant Brightness Mode maintains the same on-screen light levels throughout the laser
source’s extra-long lifespan An automated filter system cuts the hassle of regular dust cleaning. Near-zero
maintenance needs are complemented by a range of energy-saving features, driving down total lifetime
ownership costs even further.
With a stylish blend-in design, tidy cable management and ultra-low fan noise, the VPL-FHZ57 fits beautifully into
almost any environment – from academic institutions, corporate, medical training and public sector organisations
to visitor attractions and retail spaces. Seamlessly blend images from multiple projectors to create super-sized
displays, or project accurately proportioned images onto angled or curved surfaces. Mount the projector at any
angle, even on its side or upside down. Set-up is refreshingly easy with a friendly installation menu.
