The VPL-FX51 can be connected to a network and incorporated on the LAN. Users can control the VPL-FX51 remotely via the network, and they can receive emails from the projector, which contain status such as operating time of lamp, reminders for scheduled maintenance, and emergency notification. Content management made possible by the projector's networking capability include the ability for users to present files located anywhere on the connected network or users can use the on board memory to display presentations and files at ease with nothing but the projector's remote control unit. Brightness, contrast, a robust input panel, and the aggressive power of networking all add up to one phenomenal projector: the VPL-FX51.
