Sony's latest offering, the BRAVIA VPL-HW10 HD projector, features a triple-panel Sony Silicon X-tal Reflective Display (SXRD) technology. This new projector provides you with detailed, clear, and naturalistic cinema with SXRD for 1080p Full HD. It delivers maximum resolution and superb cinematic clarity because of the 8-stage signal processing by BRAVIA ENGINE 2. The projector offers a 30,000:1 contrast ratio (the difference between pure white and dead black, according to the manufacturer) with an advanced Iris 2 dynamic contrast enhancement technology,

In addition, All Range Crisp Focus (ARC-F) lens offers both horizontal and vertical adjustment and a 1.6x manual zoom. This will make it easier for you to set the device up and achieve great images, regardless of its actual position. According to Sony's Senior Marketing Manager, Josh Honda, "Each element of what makes this projector so good is impressive enough in its own right...But it's what happens when you bring them all together that really matters. Everything works together to give you the detail of Full HD with the clarity and smooth motion that are the hallmarks of a truly cinematic experience."

The projector provides a really fast 2.5 response time and features a full screen panel alignment function, cutting down any colored bordering at the edges of objects. It also supports BRAVIA Theatre Sync, Deep Colour, x.v.Colour, and 24p True Cinema. It has two HDMI connectors. Sony BRAVIA VPL-HW10 HD SXRD Projector promises to offer great cinematic experience for a reasonable price of $3,000. Read more »
