Sony announces new additions E Series projector line up

Sony-VPL-EX7Sony Professional announces today the refresh of their popular portable E Series projector line up; introducing a new flagship model, enhancing the WXGA model and setting a higher resolution standard in the industry.

The VPL-ES7 SVGA resolution (800×600) model will not be sold from December 2009, making its XGA resolution (1024×768) counterpart, the VPL-EX7, Sony’s most affordable projector. Sony is therefore accelerating the industry‘s step change to higher picture quality by establishing XGA and WXGA as the new entry level standards.

“Customer feedback in western countries particularly, has shown us that there is a real need to accelerate the industry switch to a higher resolution. With customers’ demands for higher resolution at a competitive price and new norms being developed continuously on computers and laptops, we felt there was a real need to offer XGA resolution quality as our new competitively priced “entry” standard,” said Robert Meakin, Senior Product Manager, Business Projectors at Sony Europe.
