5,300 Lumens of Visual Power in a Compact Projector

From the university hall to eSports applications, the Sony VPL-PHZ51’s compact size and powerful 5,300-lumen laser diode projection make it an ideal choice for a variety of medium-to-large size A/V applications. Sony’s improved Reality Creation technology takes full advantage of the VPL-PHZ51’s 3LCD laser light source to provide exceptionally crisp visuals with incredible depth and life-like colors, even in bright conditions. What’s more, the VPL-PHZ51 boasts a -35% to +55% vertical lens shift range, a widened throw ratio range, and auto-optimizing Intelligent Settings that make this versatile projector incredibly installation-friendly. Full 4K/60P support makes running multi-screen setups a breeze, and there’s even a cutting-edge image scaler that converts 4K inputs to WUXGA resolutions without sacrificing image quality. If you’re searching for a projector with astounding visuals, effortless installation, and a compact form factor, you’d be hard-pressed to top the Sony VPL-PHZ51.

Innovative Sony Reality Creation technology

The VPL-PHZ51 harness the full power of Sony’s image-enhancing Reality Creation technology to provide the clearest images and the crispest text possible from a laser projector. Real-time signal processing technology and intelligent pixel remapping improve the quality of low-resolution images to drastically enhance realism and depth. Plus, Reality Text mode allows for even the most complex spreadsheets, text-heavy data sheets, and diagrams to be projected with cutting clarity and full definition — a must-have for large conference rooms in corporate environments.

Designed for easy installation

Looking for an installation-friendly projector? The VPL-PHZ51’s ample -35% to +55% vertical lens shift range ensures your visuals are displayed with proper proportions — no pole mounts or keystone correction necessary! Plus, Sweetwater’s video experts love how the wide 1.23:1 to 1.97:1 throw ratio allows for easy replacement of an existing projector in a fixed ceiling mount without the need for repositioning.

Full 4K/60P input support

The VPL-PHZ51’s full 4K/60P input signal support is essential for those looking to run a multi-screen setup with flat panel sub-screens — simply split the 4K signal to drive your displays, no conversion necessary. Plus, a built-in image scaler allows you to effortlessly convert 4K input signals to WUXGA with close to 4K image quality, ensuring your audience receives a crisp, clear representation of your visuals. Finally, this projector takes Sony’s Reality Creation to the next level with full 4K/60P optimization.

Rated 5/5

Amazing projector and amazing customer service!

This projector is amazing! My previous projector, only 2 years old, decided to stop working at the worst time possible. It was during an event. Plus, I was about to hit the road traveling out of state to do another event that needed a projector too. Along came my sales engineer Kevin Rowan to save the day!

He found the perfect projector that fit my needs. I need a bright projector that can throw a monogram image far and still be nice and bright enough to see when I'm in a room that isn't dim or dark out.

I had the projector delivered to the location I was traveling to out of state and it showed up right on time and I was so impressed by how amazing the projector is. It's bright, light, and an amazing image.

Did I mention how amazing the projector is and my sales engineer Kevin is?...Amazing!
