Installation Flexibility and Hassle-free Maintenance 
with a Stylish Unobtrusive Design

The VPL-FX30 offers amazing installation flexibility and hassle-free 
maintenance, along with a stylish yet inconspicuous design that 
blends into any decor.
This projector is equipped with an excellent lens shift function and 
a standard 1.6x zoom lens, making image adjustment easy.  It’s also 
compatible with the optional lenses designed for Sony’s VPL-F40 Series, 
extending the range of installation choices.  The maintenance cycles 
of the lamp and cleaning filters are synchronized and exceptionally 
long, which cuts maintenance time and cost.  In addition, the VPL-FX30 
is designed to deliver a low total cost of ownership, and includes 
eco-friendly features, thanks to its long-lasting lamp and low power 
consumption.
Packing the most advanced projector technologies into a low-profile 
design, the VPL-FX30 is an excellent choice, delivering a dramatic 
brightness of 4200 lumens and high-quality images with XGA resolution.

FEATURES

Low Profile Design

The VPL-FX30 showcases a newly 
designed low profile chassis, so 
the projector appears to blend  
into the ceiling or wall on which 
it is mounted.  The connector 
panel is located on the front of 
the unit so its cables cannot be 
seen by the audience, to further 
ensure the projector fits elegantly 
into the installation environment.

High Picture Quality

High Picture Quality and Bright Images

By combining a new-generation optical system that uses 
Sony’s BrightEra™ with Long Lasting Optics technology* and 
a 3LCD projection system, the VPL-FX30 offers high picture 
quality in XGA (1024 x 768) resolution and a high brightness 
of 4200 lumens.

* BrightEra with Long Lasting Optics is the brand name for a new generation 

of optical system, which is a more advanced version of Sony‘s original 

BrightEra technology.  In addition to the adoption of LCD panels that have 

pixels with large aperture ratios and inorganic alignment layers, BrightEra 

with Long Lasting Optics technology also uses an inorganic layer for 
polarization plates to greatly enhance reliability.

3LCD Projection Offers Brilliant 
Color Performance

The VPL-FX30 adopts a 3LCD 
projection system incorporating 
three LCD panels.  This system 
enables the projector to present 
bright and natural images.

High Resolution Lens

The VPL-FX30 incorporates a high-resolution lens known as the 
All Range Crisp Focus (ARC-F) lens.  Its large diameter and 
fine pitch ensure crisp pictures.

12-bit 3D Gamma Correction

The VPL-FX30 incorporates 12-bit 3D Gamma Correction 
circuitry to perform highly accurate gamma correction, 
achieving smoother gradations and richer gray-scale.

I/P Conversion and Film Mode

The video signal processing technology that Sony has 
incorporated in the VPL-FX30 offers I/P conversion and 2-3 
pull-down to generate high-quality images with outstanding 
clarity.
