    • Product Rating: 4 star(s) Sony VPL-VW100
      by Gary Merson
    • Pros: Lowest priced 1080p front projector; solid video processing with 2:3 pull-down and proper de-interlacing of 1080i; resolves every detail of 1080i and 1080p sources; can reproduce deep black levels; accepts native 1080p signals; comprehensive features for
    • Cons: Expensive; quoted brightness limits screens to around 100 inches (diagonal); high-priced replacement lamp; high power consumption at 610 watts; imperfect uniformity in white fields; can't switch aspect ratios with HD sources.
    • Comments:
      Projectors can produce comparatively enormous pictures, so a high native resolution is even more important in a projector than in a standard HDTV. After all, if the picture measures 100 inches diagonally as opposed to 50 or 42, you'll have a lot more oppo...

    • EUROPEAN HIGH-END VIDEO PROJECTOR
      by EISA Awards
    • Comments:
      Directly derived from the gorgeous Qualia 004, and even improving on that high-end statement in some aspects, the VPL-VW100 pushes the limits for a true, uncompromised high-definition image, at an incredibly reasonable price. Based on a trio of latest-gen...

    • Sony VPL-VW100
      by Max Christoffersen
    • Comments:
      If you were hanging around many home theatre forums in January there were only two words on everyone's lips: "Sony Ruby". Sony had just released their new SXRD machine projector the VPL-VW100, known as the "Ruby", and the excitement it generated was unlik...

      "Sony has unquestionably made a breakthrough here. We'll wait anxiously to see if they can product the SXRD chips in sufficient quantity. . .If they can, less pricey models are likely to follow. But for the here and now, the QUALIA 004 is one impressive m...

    • Sony VPL-VW100 LCOS Projector
      by Geoffrey Morrison
    • Comments:
      I've been saying it since the first 1080p displays hit the market: There's no need for 1080p on a screen smaller than 65 inches. Your eye just can't resolve that kind of detail at the distance just about everyone sits from their TV. Resoundingly, no one c...

    • Sony VPL-VW100 SXRD Video Projector Part II
      by Thomas J. Norton
    • Pros: Beautifully smooth, detailed image
    • Cons: None.
    • Comments:
      The delay also gave me more time with the projector. Further viewing certainly did not change my opinion of this superb product. But it did surface an additional problem with this (admittedly pre-production) sample, allow me to check out the projector wit...
