Sony VPL-VW60

Pros: Great bright picture, phenomenal contrast, gorgeous picture

Cons: Don't think that 120hz is a $10,000 step-up feature

Summary: Where do I begin? This projector took its place in an area that was once occupied by the VPLVW100 Ruby proj. The Black Pearl is such a superior picture in just about every way to the Ruby. The contrast has been boosted thanks to the new SXRD backplates, the 200w UHP lamp seems as bright, if not brighter than the 400w Xenon lamp that was in the Ruby and is now in the Diamond. I loved the setup of this projector. Normally I prefer manual zoom and focus rings, but the mechanical zoom and focus were sensitive enough so that I could correctly and accurately calibrate the screen. I have it hooked to an HDXA2 with a demo disc playing through and my jaw hit the floor at the quality of picture that I saw. If youre looking for a nice home projector that will be in a controlled lighting environment, for your own good, buy this. See it first, if you have to, but then buy it right afterwards.
