help Sony VPL-HS50 FAQ
Is the Sony VPL-HS50 really a native 4K laser projector?
No. Sony's own specifications describe three 0.73-inch WXGA LCD panels with 1,280 by 720 pixels and a 135 W UHP lamp, so the catalog's native-4K and laser claims do not match the actual model.

What video resolutions can the Sony VPL-HS50 accept?
The VPL-HS50 accepts older HD signals including 1080i and 720p, but its native display resolution remains 1,280 by 720. It is therefore a 720p home-theater projector, not a 4K display.

How large a screen can the Sony VPL-HS50 project?
Sony specifies a viewable image range from 40 to 200 inches. For a 100-inch image, the listed throw distance is about 2.9 to 4.5 meters. [Sony VPL-HS50 specifications](https://www.sony.com.au/electronics/support/projectors-vpl-series/vpl-hs50/specifications)
What lamp does the Sony VPL-HS50 use?
The projector uses a 135 W UHP lamp rather than a laser light source. Sony's specifications also identify the display system as three LCD panels, which is consistent with its 720p design.
