Abstract: This is the third in a semi-regular series looking at affordable front projector systems, particularly projectors that don’t require a dedicated theater space. So far, we’ve looked at Sanyo and Mitsubishi projectors. Until recently, I had not consider...
Abstract: Sony’s HW10 is based around the same 3-panel SXRD (Silicon X-tal Reflective Display) 1920 x 1080 chipset found in pricier VW40 and VW80 brothers. This model also boasts a remarkable 30,000:1 contrast ratio with the help of its automatic iris and...
Abstract: Price-leading contrast performance , Smooth, film-like images , Limited features Sony turned the high-end projector world on its ear with the introduction of the VPL-VW100 SXRD projector. The VPL-VW100 offered resolution and performance far beyond ot...
Sony's new VPL-HW10 represents an incredibly good value in entry-level front projectors. Contrast ratio, by virtue of really good blacks, is quite good, and video processing is clean and smooth. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that the VPL-HW10...

Reproduces deep, clean blacks with solid shadow detail; reasonably accurate color; excellent feature package including horizontal and vertical lens shift; sleek styling.
Red and green are somewhat inaccurate; zoom, focus and lens shift are manual, not electronic; not bright enough to drive very large screens.
Sonys VPL-VW10, the companys least expensive SXRD projector yet, proves itself a very good performer for the price, and therefore an excellent value. Specifications: Projector type: SXRD projector; Resolution: 1920 x 1080; Image brightness: 1000 ANSI...
Abstract: The HW10 is one of the strongest home theater projectors weve yet seen from Sony, and is a great option for large screen 1080p projection in a light-controlled room. With 697 usable lumens and strong contrast performance, the HW10 can be used with sc...
Abstract: Talk about extremes. Just a couple of weeks after spending quality time with Sony's five grand VPL-VW80 projector, we now find ourselves sharing our test room with Sony's VPL-HW10 - a relative snip at just £1695. The question is, will the performance diff...
Abstract: Sony have really stepped up to the plate with the VPL-HW10. The unit has a swag of great features including a wide zoom lens, lens shift and a massive 30,000:1 contrast ratio for the blackest of blacks excellent shading and well defined colours....
I'd like to say that the VPL-HW10 is a significant improvement over the older VPL-VW40it replaces. And, as it turns out, it is, true in some regards. While it offers only minor improvements in image performance, such as sharpness, black levels, etc, wher...
Abstract: Sony is expecting to throw a spanner in the works with the new VPLHW10. The Japanese company is not known for being a price-leader, but with this new projector its trying to change that. This is the first 1080p projector weve seen for under four gran...
