Sony BRAVIA SXRD 1080p high-definition projector
Model: VPLVW70 UPC: 027242754416
Description: An HDTV is great for everyday watching, but a high-def projector like Sony's VPL-VW70 presents entertainment events like movies, concerts, and ballgames with stunning scale and impact. Out-of-the-box image quality is impressive, and a wealth of picture adjustments makes it easy to fine-tune performance to match your setup and tastes.
Brent Butterworth reviewed this projector in the January 2009 issue of magazine and raved about its thrilling presentation: "Watching the VPL-VW70 deliver its first image after it warms up is like tapping the gas pedal of a Ferrari for the first time: You're just blown away by the raw power."
The VPL-VW70's 1080p resolution creates images with lifelike detail and texture. And 1080p is also a pixel-perfect match for 1080i high-definition programs, the most common HD format. (HDTV reception requires a separate HDTV tuner.) All incoming video signals are automatically "scaled" (converted) to precisely match the projector's 1080p native resolution.
Because there are three SXRD image chips ? one each for red, green, and blue ? colors look extraordinarily rich and solid. The Real Color Processing color management system makes it easy to fine-tune specific colors and hues without affecting skin tones. Sony's Advanced Iris system includes "Auto" modes that monitor the video signal and adjust the projector's light output on the fly, optimizing black level and contrast on a scene-by-scene basis.
With its standard-throw lens, the VPL-VW70 is a smart choice for medium- and larger-sized rooms (you can place it on a table, or ceiling-mount it with an optional bracket). The projector's "lens shift" feature lets you adjust the image either horizontally or vertically, to allow for off-center projector placement.
The VPL-VW70 has every type of video input you're likely to need. The HDMI inputs accept 1080/24p video from a . Most movies are originally shot at 24p (24 frames per second), so this feature lets you enjoy them in their most filmlike and flawless form.
