Sony VPL-VW50, the "Pearl" projector

Strengths: High Contrast Ratio. Very good shadow details. Film Like, smooth, 3-d look of projected image. Good color right out of the box.

Weakness: Brightness - needs a light contolled room.

I believe this is one of the best projector you can buy under $10K.(and check out the street price of this projector at Price Grabber.com. It's well under half of $10K) High resolution, 1080P(1920x1080) is ready for true HD and latest tech such as Blu-ray & HD-DVD. It accepts 2 HDMI and bunch of other input so it is future proof. However, it is not the brightest projector so in order to get the...

Sony VPL-VW50

THE GOOD: Relatively inexpensive for a 1080p projector; solid color decoding; reasonably bright; resolves every detail of 1080 resolution sources; highly adjustable picture; plenty of connectivity. THE BAD: Less than perfect gamma, poor primary and secondary color accuracy.

Sony VPL-VW50 Home Theater Projector

The Sony VPL-VW50 is a solid 1080p projector that offers beautiful color saturation, contrast, and black level as its most noteworthy advantages over the competition. However, it basically offers the consumer two trade-off propositions, neither one of which is particularly appealing. The first is that along with the beautiful color saturation and contrast you give up some sharpness and detail...
