Summary: Read the full review
Verdict: The Sony VPL-VW100 produces big, beautiful 1080p images at a price-to-performance ratio that no current projector can match.
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 setup; numerous picture-tweaking options.
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.

Sony VPL-VW100


Summary: Sony's new VPL-VW100 projector has caught us rather on the hop. For while we have come across its ground-breaking new 'SXRD' technology before, it was on a crazily high-end machine costing upwards of £20k.
