VPL-ES3
The Sony VPL-ES3 is an extremely affordable data projector
that is ideal for a wide range of applications from education to
business. This projector has a stylish body and provides a
brightness of 2000 ANSI lumens*1 with a native SVGA
resolution (800 x 600). Also, because the VPL-ES3 comes
equipped with a short focal-length lens, the unit can project a
large screen size from a very short distance. The supplied card-
type Remote Commander™ unit also allows users quick and
effective control. In addition, the VPL-ES3 has very low fan
noise, a password authentication system, and includes a variety
of interfaces such as a monitor output, audio output, and
RS-232C for control. All of these features combine to make
the VPL-ES3 a user-friendly projector, ideal for both classrooms
and conference rooms.
*1 ANSI lumen is a standard measuring method of the American National
Standards Institute IT7.228. Since there is no uniform method of measuring
brightness, specifications will vary among manufacturers.
