Sony VPL-CH375 Projector Review

Overview

❮ ❯

The Sony VPL-CH375 is a high brightness (5000 lumen rating), high resolution (WUXGA – 1920 X 1200) 3LCD projector that is targeted for use both in a large venues (e.g., auditorium) or smaller conference rooms or classrooms where high brightness is needed to overcome significant room lighting.  It includes the essential signal inputs for connecting to PCs (or Macs), video sources and networks.  It also includes a connection for HDBaseT, which is gaining popularity for distribution of audio and video signals in commercial installations (business or education).

The VPL-CH375 is network connectable (through its wired LAN input or optional Wi-Fi) allowing for control of the projector, as well as monitoring the projector’s status, scheduled maintenance and problem notification remotely.  One potential use of this projector would be for medical school training and medical imaging presentations, Sony has included a gamma setting that conforms to the grayscale requirements of the DICOM Sim. standard.  This is gamma mode used to provide a clearer picture of X-ray images (see details in the Special Features section).
