Ideal Applications

The VPL-EX225 excels in classroom environments where multiple input sources need to connect seamlessly, from laptops via HDMI to legacy equipment through VGA and composite video connections. Business professionals benefit from the USB Display functionality that eliminates the need for video cables, whilst the network presentation capability with optional IFU-WLM3 wireless module enables cable-free presenting in modern meeting spaces. The 30-inch to 300-inch screen size capability makes this projector suitable for both small huddle rooms and large lecture halls.

Performance Features

The 3LCD BrightEra technology delivers vivid, colour-accurate images without the rainbow effect common in single-chip DLP projectors. With brightness levels adjustable across three lamp modes—2,700 lumens in high mode, 2,100 lumens in standard, and 1,600 lumens in low mode—users can optimise performance based on ambient lighting conditions whilst extending lamp life up to 7,000 hours in eco mode. The vertical keystone adjustment (auto/manual) corrects trapezoidal distortion, and the blackboard mode enables projection on coloured surfaces. Auto Pixel Alignment (APA) ensures sharp, properly scaled images across various computer resolutions up to UXGA 1600 × 1200 pixels.

3LCD Technology Advantages

The Sony VPL-EX225's 3LCD technology offers excellent colour saturation and brightness efficiency, producing vibrant colours and sharply defined images even in well-lit environments. Unlike single-chip DLP projectors, 3LCD eliminates the rainbow effect that can cause viewer fatigue during extended presentations. The three-panel system delivers superior colour accuracy and finer gradation for smoother transitions between colour shades. Whilst 3LCD projectors may exhibit slightly lower contrast ratios compared to high-end DLP models, the VPL-EX225's 3,000:1 contrast ratio provides sufficient depth for professional presentation content.

Quality Assurance & Warranty

Every Sony VPL-EX225 projector sold by Reboot IT undergoes rigorous testing using cutting-edge diagnostic software to verify all features and functions operate to specification. Since 2001, Reboot IT has been an industry expert in refurbishing professional equipment, ensuring each unit meets stringent quality standards through comprehensive visual inspection, connectivity testing, lamp performance verification, and image quality assessment. All units are verified refurbished through Reboot IT's thorough testing process and include a 1-year warranty covering hardware faults with repair or replacement at no additional cost. This warranty provides peace of mind with local Australian support and hassle-free service.

Cosmetic Grading

Excellent Grade units show evidence of very light previous use with only minor scuffing or abrasions on external housing associated with minimal standard use. The projector body will have no deep scratches, cracks, paint chips, or broken/missing pieces, and the lens will be free from scratches or damage.

Good Grade units are fully tested and fully functional but may feature light scratches on the external body, minor paint chips, or small dings on the housing from moderate previous use. All optical components and mechanical functions operate properly regardless of cosmetic condition.
