The Bottom Line BenQ's W10000 delivers excellent performance for a 1080p 1-chip DLP projector, especially considering its relatively low price. The new chip in Samsung's SP-A900B helps it to outperform every projector in its class, including its step-down Joe Kane-designed brother, and to compete favorably against significantly more-expensive three-chip DLP projectors. The Panasonic PT-AE2000U 1080p projector is a credible performer, especially when you consider its relatively low price. Sony's VPL-VW10, the company's least expensive SXRD projector yet, proves itself a very good performer for the price, and therefore an excellent value. Although it certainly costs more than most of the 1080p competition, the SXRD-based Sony VPL-VW200 delivers one of the best pictures of any projector we've tested.
