Features
High-quality Images and
Incredible Performance
Outstanding Brightness of 5200/4000
Lumens in a Beautifully Styled Projector
The VPL-FX41 data projector provides an
outstanding brightness of 5200 lumens, while the
VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40 data projectors offer a high
brightness of 4000 lumens. This allows for dynamic,
large-screen presentations even in high ambient
lighting environments. By combining a new
generation of inorganic LCD panels that utilize
Sony BrightEra™ technology* with a powerful
275W lamp, these beautifully styled projectors are
excellent for bringing your presentations to life.
* "BrightEra" is a brand name for the category of next generation LCD
panels having pixels with large aperture ratios and adopting inorganic
alignment films. Sony is the first manufacturer to succeed in
developing this technology for a High-Temperature Polysilicon (HTPS)
TFT LCD panel.
Extremely High Resolution
(SXGA+ or XGA)
Offering native SXGA+ (1400 x 1050) resolution, the
VPL-FE40 projects extremely clear and detailed
high-quality images even on a large screen. And
the VPL-FX41and VPL-FX40 offer native XGA (1024 x
768) resolution for high picture quality.
3LCD Projection System
Because the VPL-FX41, VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40
adopt a 3LCD projection system, projected images
are bright and natural. 3LCD is a projection system
using three LCD panels (also known as hightemperature polysilicon or HTPS). This system
provides high light transmission and excellent
color reproduction. It also provides smooth
gradients in dark areas, and even helps prevent
color breakup.
Dynamic Detail Enhancer (DDE) for
High-Quality Video Images
This unique Sony video-enhancing technology
incorporated in the VPL-FX41, VPL-FE40 and
VPL-FX40 projectors generates high-quality images
of outstanding clarity. For interlaced video sources,
I/P (Interlace/Progressive) conversion is applied to
the signals to project clear and sharp progressive
images. When displaying film-originated sources,
signals converted by 2-3/2-2 pull down are
detected, and each frame of the original film is
accurately reproduced.
12-bit 3D Gamma Correction and 3D
Digital Comb Filter
The VPL-FX41, VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40 projectors
incorporate 12-bit 3D Gamma Correction circuitry
to perform highly accurate gamma correction,
achieving uniform image color and brightness
that extends right to the corners of the screen.
What‘s more, the 3D Digital Comb Filter separates Y
signals from C signals with great accuracy, which
emphasizes fine images and shape boundaries.

Installation Flexibility and Easy
Maintenance
Power Zoom/Focus/Lens Shift
(Horizontal and Vertical)
The Zoom, Focus, and Horizontal and Vertical Lens
Shift functions available with the projectors’
supplied power-operated lens and optional
lenses* can be controlled both from the projector
control panel and the supplied Remote
Commander™ unit. Images can be easily
adjusted to the desired settings both during
installation and when the projector is in use.
*Not available with the optional VPLL-1008 fixed-type lens.
Centered Lens Design
The centered lens provides symmetry for a
balanced installation of the VPL-FX41, VPL-FE40 and
VPL-FX40 projectors, and makes setup very simple.
Flexible Orientation
The VPL-FX41, VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40 projectors can
be tilted 90 degrees upwards or downwards. This
flexibility allows the projectors to be used in several
different ways, including in a rear projection system.
Twin Stacking Capability
When applications require double the light output,
the VPL-FX41, VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40 projectors
can be twin-stacked*. Pictures from the two
projectors are then matched using the Picture Shift
function on each unit.
*The optional VPLL-1008 lens cannot be used when twin stacking.
Direct Power On
Activating this function allows you to skip standby
mode to power on the VPL-FX41, VPL-FE40 and
VPL-FX40 projectors immediately. Direct Power On
is ideal for large-scale facilities such as museums,
auditoriums, and conference halls, with images
ready for projection as soon as the circuit-breaker
on the switchboard is turned on.
ID Function for Multi-Projector Installation
The VPL-FX41, VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40 projectors
have a built-in ID function, so each projector can
be controlled independently from a single Remote
Commander unit. For multi-projector installations
in a single room, this feature is indispensable both
during installation and operation.
Variety of Optional Lenses
The VPL-FX41, VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40 projectors are
each supplied with a power lens as standard for
most general applications. If a specific application
requires a special lens, the VPL-FX41L, VPL-FE40L
and VPL-FX40L are available. The lens is not
included with these projectors, so any of four
optional lens types can be selected. This flexibility
allows the VPL-FX41L, VPL-FE40L and VPL-FX40L to be
used for a number of applications – from
long-distance projection in large auditoriums to
short-distance rear-projection applications.

Easy Lamp Replacement and Filter
Cleaning
When it’s time to replace the lamp in the VPL-FX41,
VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40 projectors, a timely message
appears clearly on the screen. The lamp is
accessible from the side of the projector and the
filters from the front, so lamp replacement and filter
cleaning can be performed without uninstalling the
projector.
The VPL-FX41, VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40 projectors are
equipped with five BNC connectors, so they can
accept signals from sources such as workstations
or professional video equipment, and these
sources can be located far away from the projector
because the interfaces support long-distance
signal transmission.
Monitor Output for Presenters
Projected images can be monitored by connecting
a PC monitor to the VPL-FX41, VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40
projectors’ monitor output and placing it in the
presenter's field of view. This allows the presenter to
continually face the audience during the
presentation for a fluid and professional delivery.

Maintenance and Notifications Via
Network
Because the VPL-FX41, VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40
projectors can be connected to a LAN, a number
of functions can be performed remotely using a
web browser.* For example, the projector’s current
status can be verified and simple controls, such as
powering the unit on or off, can be performed.
Also, the system can be set up to send automatic
e-mail reports to designated recipients for
scheduled maintenance, including projected
lamp life and error reports.
*Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher is required.
Digital Keystone Adjustment
Vertical Keystone distortion of up to ±30 degrees
can be digitally corrected via the OSD and/or
Remote Commander unit of the VPL-FX41, VPL-FE40
and VPL-FX40 projectors. This enables detailed
images to be projected with their correct
geometry, even when installation space is limited.
Multiple Interfaces for Flexible
Operation
Multitude of Inputs
The VPL-FX41, VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40 projectors
accept a wide variety of input signals, including
HDMI (the latest standard for digitally connecting to
high-definition systems), component and
composite video, S-Video (Y/C), and computer
signals up to UXGA (fV: 60 Hz) — which expands the
system-connection possibilities.

In fact, they can even handle animated Microsoft ®
PowerPoint ® presentations.
Network Presentations Using Up To Five
Projectors
Up to five VPL-FX41, VPL-FE40 or VPL-FX40
projectors can be connected to a network, with
the image from a single PC projected on each of
them. This feature is ideal for both large venues
and multiple rooms in which images have to be
projected from various locations.
Network Presentations Almost Anywhere
By manually registering your PC’s IP address to the
VPL-FX41, VPL-FE40 and VPL-FX40 projectors, images
can be projected not only across the country, but
