Abstract: Sony’s ‘black pearl’ impresses with enormous contrast and a fascinating, cinematic picture. It’s therefore easy to forgive small weaknesses in PAL de-interlacing and the slight trailing effect. The score nevertheless..
The VW60 maintains Sony's strong aesthetic design, making for a sleeklooking statement in your living room or home theater, The image quality is punchier and more detailed this time around and light output is better, but only just. Still, the differences aren't so subtle that you won't notice, Black levels and edge fidelity appear richer and more defined with the VW60 than on the Pearl, The
The new black color, while menacing, isn't as roomfriendly if you're going for a ceilingmounted stealth look, The projector, while quiet, is far from silent, The VW60 still can only be enjoyed to its fullest in a completely darkened room, for the light output just isn't there if you so much as turn on a small lamp, The remote control picture adjustments and focus, while convenient, are still
With a price tag of $5,000, the Sony VW60 is a solid performer and a great projector, but it's not the breakout runaway success the Pearl was a few years ago. You see, since the advent of the Pearl, every manufacturer has released their "answer" and s...

Abstract: When it was introduced at the 2006 CEDIA Expo, Sonys VPL-VW50 redefined the entire front-projector price structure. Of course, a few other manufacturers were ready with their own new projector announcements at that show, but the VW50—which ca...
Abstract: Mid 1080p take II. Not too long ago (June 2007), we checked out this projectors predecessor. In a roundup and the Mitsubishi HC5000, we chose the JVC as the hands-down winner for picture quality, but that wasnt the whole story. The VPL-VW50 was a c...
In summary, the Sony VPL-VW60 is an impressive 1080p projector that will give its owners an exciting home theater experience. Compared to previous generation projectors, its contrast and black level performance is quite good. Its only immediate flaw is th...
Abstract: I was mightily impressed with how the company had brought the benefits of its then high-end 1080p-rez SXRD technology (Sonys version of Liquid Crystal on Silicon) to a product with a $4,999 price point. Hot on the Pearls heels, Sony has rolled out ...
