Sony VPL-VW1000ES
While it's a pity we weren't able to see the VW1000ES running with native 4k-resolution content, we've seen enough to know that this is a startlingly accomplished projector given added appeal by its unique future-proofing qualities.
Sony finally gives us a glimpse of what the UK's first 4k-resolution projector might be capable of.

Sony VPL-VW90ES
Nicht kleckern, sondern klotzen - das dachten sich die Sony-Entwickler ganz eindeutig, als sie ihren ersten 3D-Projektor gebaut haben. Die SXRD-Technik sorgt für Bilder, die scharf wie Sushi-Messer sind - ganz ohne Artefakte, Regenbogeneffekt oder ähnliche Unannehmlichkeiten. Wer Wert legt auf ein erstklassiges Heimkino und in den Genuss der räumlichen Darstellung kommen will, kommt an diesem Gerät nicht vorbei. Vorausgesetzt natürlich, dass der Kontostand eine ausreichende Deckung für den heftigen Kaufpreis aufweist.

Sony VPL-VW90ES
Sony VPL-VW90ES Projector - The Bottom Line OK, let's see what we've got here. The is their flagship home theater projector, and their first 1080p projector sporting 3D. It commands a $9999 list price. That's a lot of loose change, but the least expensive serious1080p home theater projector with 3D is the Sharp, and that guy's almost exactly half the price. "Out of the box" color needs some work, not impressed, but I am impressed with the final picture after Mike did his calibration. Truly excellent skin tones are obvious. I'd probably be gushing about them, but for the fact that the last projector through - the $27,000 , was even better (perhaps mostly by virtue of more lumens behind the Runco's color). My one concern has been the panning issue I spotted. I am finding that the VW90ES does seem a touch worse than some others, but it seems to be panning speed based. After noticing the horizontal panning at the beginning of RED, I looked at some other movies. The Sony's panning is generally about typical, but on the right speed pan, it does look worse than others. I have queried Sony about this, awaiting reply. Black level performance is very good. The projector seems roughly comparable now to the Epson UB, which still has the best blacks short of the higher end JVCs. When you achieve that level of black performance, other things become the more critical things to improve. In other words, if you asked me which I would want for this Sony projector, a step up in black performance, or a step up in brightness, in this case, give me the brightness, I can defiinitely live long and prosper, with the Sony VPL-VW90ES's black level performance. Sony VPL-VW90ES for 3D The 3D is cool. Look, from a big picture standpoint, 3D isn't quite ready for prime time, but it really can look great. Those of us who are enthusiasts, recognize that the 3D artifacts are significantly more noticeable than small things we still complain about with 2D noise. If you are a person who wants a relatively flawless image, 3D isn't there yet. Maybe if they up the speed to 240 hz, and maybe 196hz for 24 bit movies... But, how that plays out, we'll have to see. What I do care about discussing, is what you can expect with the VW90ES when watching 3D. To a large extent, you are trading brightness for coolness (in a "3D looks cool" sense). It's not just cool though, it's intense. 3D can really up your emotional response to the content. Brightness a key issue, but the oft pleasure of 3D is a major offset. I can't wait until we have projectors with lots of lumens in addition to excellent 2D home theater, but that's not just out there yet (at these "bargain" prices). I was most skeptical when Sony announced a 3D, 1000 lumen projector. I've now played with three different fairly expensive 3D projectors and so far, when doing 3D, the Sony looks the brightest. This is interesting since the Sharp measured almost 40% brighter. The Sharp is a DLP projector, the Sony 3 panel LCoS. Now, I'm being told, that the differences in polarization retention is a factor with screens with some 3D technologies.. The screens I've been using are the Carada Brilliant White, in both rooms. I will have other screens soon, including the Studiotek 130, and the Screen Innovations BD1.4. So, it may well be, with a different screen, that the Sharp will appear as bright, but, meantime, the difference must be somewhere - glasses? Screen? No matter, what matters is what they look like when you are watching. If you are used to "normal brightness" when watching 2D, then 3D is going to be dim on the same screen. It's not like you can forget how bright 2D is, all you have to do is peek out from under your glasses. Above: Sony on the left, Sharp on the right - 3D, no, glasses won't help. They appear to have very different looking color, with the Sony showing very strong blues here, the Sharp a bit the other way. I give the Sony the edge in side by side viewing. It not only seems as bright, or a tad more so, but had the slightly more enjoyable looking picture. Back to Brightness: For perspective about 3D brightness, my old JVC (with a new lamp - about 700 lumens), filling my old - a 128" diagonal gray surface, put a brighter image on the screen than this Sony can in 3D with a screen size in the 80-90" diagonal range. Of course in 2D, this Sony and my projector are very comparable in brightness. For all of the issues, I really do enjoy watching 3D.. With the Sony, last night, I watched part of Alice In Wonderland again. I started at the full 106 inches, but after 15 minutes settled on about 88" diagonal (the smallest I could get without moving the projector closer.) It was bright enough for me. But one of my friends, still was very unhappy. No matter, what matters is what they look like when you are watching. If you are used to "normal brightness" when watching 2D, then 3D is going to be dim on the same screen. Watching 3D, though, is really great despite all of that... It's the significant percent of HDTV type content though - Discovery HD, sports, etc. that's really killer in 3D, and it's coming! I'm more interested in that, than upcoming movies, although that works too. So, how is the value proposition for this Sony? Let's consider: You are getting to buy a brighter projector than last year's VW85. Some modes measure 10% or more brighter, others about the same, but overall, the projector is brighter. In "brightest mode", this year's Sony is 10% brighter than last. I point this out because that improves value. I give a lot of value for the extra lumens. In exchange for that boost, plus the usual other year to year improvements, Sony has upped the price point to $9999, a $2000 increase over the older model. You'll have to weigh all the improvements and 3D against that $2K. You can look at that two ways. If you don't care about 3D, or 3D in its current state, in terms of content availability, equipment choices, then the 90ES may not be worth the difference and you might look for the older , despite the slight improvements in blacks, and brightness. If you want to play with 3D, though, I'd say that, relative to the early days of 3D, and the pricing, which of course will come down as 3D catches on. (I'm assuming it will.) Then this Sony provides a great balance; a great 2D projector, and an extra couple thousand for the 3D, some more brightness and other improvements. When it comes to the competition, the Sony VW90ES has only a very few competitors that can do 3D. Your selection process will be different if you don't care about 3D. If you are shopping for 3D (like I am) and would like it now (I do), at least occasionally. There are only 4 1080p competitors within a magnitude of price. At the lower end, is the a great 3D projector for half the price of the Sony, but it really isn't in the same class from a picture quality standpoint. (It's older 2D version, the XV-Z15000, we considered a better than average $2000 projector.) That leaves the JVC RS50 and RS60, at $8K and $12K, plus the LG CF3D at $15K. A few more are coming, but not in the next few months. Because of the brightness issues we discuss in the Competitors page, unless our JVC RS60 review unit proves defective (JVC's looking at it), we don't see very viable for 3D, at least not without high power screens, etc. If the Sony needs more brightness, then the JVC we had needs lots more. Comparing brightest modes, the Sony's over 40% brighter based on our measurements. With my rather average white screen, the JVC just wasn't bright enough to watch in 3D even at 80" diagonal. If you want 3D and the JVC's are producing well less than 600 lumens (mid-point on zoom), then the Sony advantage is huge. With 3D where every lumen counts, you The Very Bottom Line on the VPL-VW90ES projector: Sony continues to improve it's home theatre projectors, and the VW90ES is a better replacement than the older VW85. What's unusual, though is a price increase from one generation to the other. In this case, you get one, but, it would seem that's the price for 3D. I suspect that, otherwise, the projector would have the same price as last year, be a little brighter and better, and that would be that - typical. Best I can tell, so far, if you want a projector to do both 2D and 3D, for some serious home theatre, then so far, I'd have to narrow the choices to the lower cost Sharp, or the better image of this Sony. I'll pass on those JVC's as 3D projectors, unless they do prove to be significantly brighter than the one JVC shipped me. When it comes to choosing the VPL-VW90ES strictly for 2D, then there's more competition in the quality class. The JVC's, for example, will still have slightly better blacks (and no dynamic iris), but this year, it would seem that Sony is brighter than JVC. That's a complete reversal from a couple of years ago, when I ranked JVC's hands down my favorites, for the combination of being brighter than those old Sonys, plus the black advantages (Sony always wins for most controls, for tweaking!) Above: taken using "best" mode color - 2011 Superbowl This time around, as I've been saying all along, the Sony VPL-VW90's blacks are good enough that I start refocusing my attentions on to other aspects of the projector, such as brightness, or 3D, or creative frame interpolation. So, any way I slice it, the VPL-V90ES is a top contender up there around $10,000. In Sony's perrenial battles with it's competition in these price ranges, I think this Sony is going to capture more souls (and sales) relative to the competition, than the VPL-VW90ES predecessors have. has in the past. The Sony is not without flaws. It has exhibited a minor problem with panning at a certain speed, it definitely could be brighter in brightest mode and, even brighter still for 3D. This Sony VPL-VW90ES is just a classy projector. Excellent picture with great but not the best blacks, better than average brightness for movie watching, power everything, a good feature set including creative frame interpolation, and 3D. If you are really stretching your budget to the bursting point, to make this Sony your next projector, you may have a tough time selling yourself. On the other hand... If the VPL-VW90ES is comfortably in your budget, you are almost certainly giving it serious thought, then it seems to me to be a very reasonable value, compared to the competition. I suspect plenty of you shopping in this range will select the VW90ES, for those reasons above. That's why there's a Hot Product Award now attached to the Sony VPL-VW90ES projector.

Sony VPL-VW95ES
The VW95ES is a huge leap forward over the disappointing VW90, to the point where its 2D performance is so stunning that it does enough in itself to justify the hefty £5,000 price tag. Crucially, though, the VW95ES is also a very enjoyable and accomplished 3D performer - even if Sony still has a little way to go before it fully silences its crosstalk critics.
Sony has finally unleashed the sequel to its flawed VW90ES 3D flagship projector. So does the new VW95ES put right what its predecessor got wrong?

Sony VPL-VW95ES
Sony VPL-VW95ES Projector - The Bottom Line When one considers projectors in the $5,000 - $10,000, the number of choices starts thinning out, compared to the number of projectors, say, in the $2000 - $3500 range. This LCoS projector - SXRD - competes against projectors such as the Mitsubishi HC9000D, a couple of JVCs, an assortment of "high end brands", including Runco, SIM2, Digital Projection, and of course, the best of the much lower priced projectors. This is Sony's 2nd generation 3D capable projector, and as such, it has made some really big strides in just the year since the VW90ES came out. 3D is smoother, 3D is a lot brighter (huge!), 2D is brighter too, that can mean bigger screens folks! And of course the usual minor improvements as well. The Sony VW projectors have always produced excellent color. Post calibration, the VW95ES has what I can best describe as, natural skin tones. The Sony projects an image that looks much better than these images on a computer display. The image immediately below, in particular, is absolutely breathtaking filling a 100" diagonal screen! HDTV image from the 2011 Victoria Secret special: Considering all the special lighting, those skin tones sure look great! And the Sony VPL-VW95ES looks (almost) equally as good (as the model, above) on the dark scene below, from Narnia: Dawn Treader. (I like dragons, but the image above, is still better subject matter). The Sony comes right out of the box with some pretty good color performance, that only gets better with calibration. The important "stuff" regarding that, per Mike our calibrator, is that grayscale and gamma are excellent right out of the box. No real need for a CMS calibration. In other words, easy to calibrate, too. Above: Star Trek's Captain Pike While most of this Sony projector's improvement is in 3D and brightness, those improvements are major. Unless you are completely 3D phobic, the Sony VPL-VW95ES projector is a much better value proposition than the 90ES was last year at the same price. That's real progress! Above: Ernest Borgnine and Bruce Willis in RED The Sony offers very good placement flexibility. The VW95ES is designed to be rear shelf mounted, if desired. However, the 1.6:1 zoom probably won't allow most folks to rear shelf mount unless they have a particularly large screen for their room size. Above: From Quantum of Solace Brightness: I won't go on about 3D again, but just as a reminder - in 2D, the VW95ES measured (lens - at mid-point), a very healthy 725 lumens. Easily enough for say a 130 inch screen, or even a bit larger. Brightest mode just gets up to about 1000 lumens - rather average for a projector, but more than the other recently reviewed LCoS projectors from Mitsubishi and JVC. Saints vs. Giants - it was a great game, and looked great too. The Very Bottom Line on the VPL-VW95ES projector: It's true, that the Sony VPL-VW95ES is loaded with all kinds of controls and settings. The menus are just about dripping in them. 10 different gammas - and you can edit them, a full color management system, lots of 3D options, and so on. Essentially, his Sony projector can really appeal to enthusiasts - performance, and the abiility to play with - to tweak the projector when desired. Perhaps the most typical owner of the VPL-WV95ES, though, is likely to be the kind of person, who if you asked him a year or two after it's up and running, "What projector do you own?" would respond with. "A Sony, I think?" That is to say, this Sony, like a couple other projectors (including the Runco), is one of those projectors that you aren't supposed to notice. There should be nothing about the projector or its idiosyncrocies that gets between you and the content you are watching. (That is key reason I really don't like CFI on, when watching most movies.) In fact the reason I think many owners won't remember the model, but that it's a Sony, will be because of the remote and startup screens. Above: From The Fifth Element , Below: Red Seriously, though. This is a first class projector. It seems to suffer not a single, really noticeable flaw. 3D's pretty good as far as I can tell, definitely improved dramatically over last year, between the 3D itself and brightness. You'll be doing most of your watching in 2D, at least for quite some time to come, and the Sony is silky smooth for 2D with those rich blacks, and some great skin tones. I'll be looking forward to reviewing other new projectors in the $5K - $20K price range over the upcoming months, but so far, thanks to big improvements over last year's, the Sony looks like a Hot Product for those that want a really fine viewing experience in their home theaters and for folks looking for a projector and likely, a quality local installing organization to get them up and running. Can you say, "American Express?"

Sony VPL-HW30ES
Sony VPL-HW30ES Projector - The Bottom Line It seems I always like Sony projectors I review, although I've never owned one myself. Mind you I have considered buying one or two over the last few years, but it was never the right Sony at the right time. For example, the original in the VW series, the "Pearl": VPL-VW50 (4 generations old), was at the top of my short list, but for one feature at the time... Price! My wallet, and the Sony's price, didn't see eye to eye. My point would be this: There are many features and benefits with every projector we review. The trick is to find the best (dare I say exact) set of such features and benefits that will work best for you. Some projectors can truly excel at just one or two things. We've seen projectors with exceptional black level performance, that just don't have as natural skin tones as some other projectors...and so it goes. In the case of Sony's , you will have to decide if it's the best match for you. Our Hot Product Award is our way of saying two things: The VPL-HW30Es is one of several excellent projectors that we've reviewed around its price point. and This Sony will likely prove to be the best projector around for a significant number (not necessarily a majority) of folks considering it and the competition. With that said, let's revisit a few topics, for those who skipped the interior pages of this review. VPL-HW30ES Brightness: The VPL-HW30ES is slightly brighter than the typical over $3500 (to $10,000) projector. Post calibration, it provided just over 814 measured lumens in "best" (measured with zoom at mid-point). At its very brightest, the projector reaches 1065 lumens. (Move the lens to full wide angle, in Brightest mode, and you can squeeze out more than 1100 lumens). The picture in that brightest mode is definitely cool (around 9000K), so thin on reds, but you've got those extra lumens if you need them. Most, I suspect will forego the extra 25+% more lumens, and instead enjoy near perfect color. Consider, for example, (2D only) we reviewed not that long ago. That slightly less expensive projector, at $2999, only measured 49 lumens brighter at its brightest, than the Sony measures in its calibrated "best mode". Yet the Sony has about 250 more lumens available in its "brightest mode". VPL-HW30ES 3D Performance: (If you have no curiosity or interest in 3D, skip down please!) Overall, the Sony's 3D looked great on Blu-ray 3D in particular and pretty much every other 1080 source. With four brightness levels, relating to black frames and the 3D glasses, you can go for more brightness, in exchange for some more crosstalk, or other image noise. 720p content off of DirecTV posed a bit more of a challenge. The higher brightness settings for 3D (in the 3D menu), tend to be very noisy. Of the four settings, I stuck to 1 or 2 (the two least bright) for 720p content. I routinely used the third setting for Blu-ray 3D... That's OK though, while the #2 setting wasn't as bright as I would have liked, it seemed to be every bit as bright as most of the reviewed 3D projectors in this range, could muster at their brightest. So, there may be times where you have a real trade-off - better 3D picture quality if you will give up some more brightness. Like most of these projectors - if you like larger screens, you will be a bit underpowered for 3D viewing. Still, this Sony is the brightest around, other than some new LCD based 3D capable projectors we have not yet reviewed, notably, the Panasonic PT-AE7000, and the Epson Home Cinema 5010 (both priced slightly less), and the Epson Pro Cinema 6010 (slightly more). In past lives, older Sonys also had less lumens than those guys, but also had a more natural picture. Before it gets forgotten, regarding the Sony 3D glasses: People, your Sony's going in a home theater. That means more than two people are watching sometimes. The good news, is that Sony has priced their active glasses fairly reasonably, at $129 each. $99 seems to be about the low price for glasses sold by the manufacturers, so not so bad. BTW, I still can't believe there aren't lots of 3rd party glasses out there yet for under $50, but now that we're seeing some manufacturers grouping together so their glasses have interoperability, perhaps we will see some price drops in the not too distant future. I had dreamed of $29 or $39 glasses by this Christmas. If you've got a family, or like having friends over, you'll need a couple/few more pair, so 3-4 extra pair of glasses costs can make a real dent in your wallet, if they are more expensive. By comparison, the competition prices their glasses from $99 to over $200 a pair. VPL-HW30ES Color and Overall Picture Quality I believe I've already stated this: The VPL-HW30ES is a well balanced projector. In terms of key factors such as brightness, color accuracy, picture naturalness, black level performance and shadow detail, the HW30ES does well in all areas. I'm not sure the HW30ES is the best at one thing in particular, at, or near its price range, but then, I'm pretty certain, that it isn't even near the worst at anything. Color and naturalness seem to be the key strengths, while black levels (very good) and shadow detail (ok for the price range) are fine, they aren't the bell ringers. A real strength are the dynamic controls which, when used, tend to be smooth, and less noticeable than most. The bottom line is that when you turn it on, like a Runco we reviewed, it just looks really good. No overt issues (except in 3D, and the brighter glasses modes). Just enjoyment. Fancy features include CFI for smooth motion. Sony names their CFI implementation as MotionFlow. It worked admirably on sports. As with almost all projectors, (even in the low setting) CFI is something I avoid when watching movies. It still is changing the "director's intent". I note that my college age daughter, most of her friends, etc. don't seem to care, though about highbrow stuff like the director's intent. The bottom line is you will get that digital look on movies. Your call. As someone once said: "Whatever floats your boat!" The dynamic (or manual) iris, has two auto modes, and manual. In Auto 1, the end result was very good black level performance on dark scenes, certainly at least average (which is very good), in this price range. The Very Bottom Line on the VPL-HW30ES projector: I like the natural look of the image on movie content, and also consider the projector to be a bit forgiving on lower quality content. That Sony VW90ES was last year's flagship Sony projector. Previous Sony home theater projectors have proven popular. It often isn't apparent to our visitors. As they are, per Sony, only sold by authorized local dealers, they aren't as visible online as many projectors that are sold online. Certainly, there aren't any dealer ads to keep the Sony name in the forefront of consumers minds when learning about projectors online. Sony, for example, has never advertised with us, so, other than the usual few reviews a year, they are fairly invisible on our site. No matter! Brightness of the VPL-HW30ES is typical, fine for 2D and basically adequate for 3D viewing on average sized screens. It is also slightly brighter than most of the competition we've reviewed as of this date (10/11), which helps with the 3D viewing. Placement flexibility is really good with 1.6:1 zoom and a good amount of lens shift. Below: Sony VPL-HW30ES beautifully handles the skin tones of the receptionist in The Fifth Element As I started this review by saying, "When it comes to thinking about the Sony's value proposition, perhaps most impressive is that the Sony VPL-HW30ES offers overall performance reasonably close to the $9999 VPL-VW90ES projector, and with more brightness, but less frills." This is a projector that works best in a home theater environment, but can double in a light controlled family room as well. It's definitely more value than last year's VPL-VWPro1, and can easily take on the likes of the Sharp XV-Z17000, and Optoma HD8300. It's early in this home theater season, so there are more new competitors yet to review, still, the Sony VPL-HW30ES is definitely a projector worth considering. Tastefully done.

TechRadar Issue 201: Sony VPL-HW30ES
If we were building a dedicated home cinema tomorrow, we would, without doubt, install a 3D projector. While cynics continue to shrug at the tsunami tide of 3D flatscreen TVs heading our way, and we also have some reservations, we've yet to meet anyone who's walked away from a 3D home projector demo who didn't have a grin on their face. After all there's something completely understandable about the simple proposition of movie-watching in a dark room, with no disturbances. In this context, 3D is a killer addition to the home entertainment experience.And if we were equipping said picture palace, Sony's second generation VPL-HW30ES would be on our shortlist. It's a breathtakingly good projector, blessed with an alluring price tag. By our reckoning, that's the equivalent of around fifty family visits to the local multiplex (including snacks and beverages). This thing would pay for itself in no time.The Sony VPL-HW30ES' design is in line with previous Sony SXRD (Silicon X-tal Reflective Display) projectors. The distinctive curvaceous, glossy lid and side-mounted inputs look suitably swish. Our test sample was finished in the standard black, but there's a new white finish available, too. There's a broad connection choice of two HDMIs, PC D-Sub, component video, RS232 and Ethernet. Yet one obvious omission is a 12V trigger. Frankly all projectors of this calibre should have this as standard. Used to integrate a projector with an electric screen, this 3.5mm jack can hardly be construed as a luxury. We're sure we're not alone in feeling a little miffed by its absence.There are other marked differences between this model and last year's VPL-VW90ES, but these seem more justifiable given the cost saving. The motorised lens protector and zoom have gone, along with the ingeniously integrated 3D glasses sync transmitter. Instead, we get a separate transmitter, the TMR-PJ1, which ties to the projector via Cat5 cable. Consequently, you'll need to give the Sony VPL-HW30ES some thought when it comes to installation, as the transmitter needs to be placed close to the screen, facing the audience.Thankfully, the imaging engine beneath the lid is just the same; the 240Hz panel delivers superb detail and colour fidelity.New this season is a Dynamic Lamp Control, which delivers three times the brightness of last year's model. This light boost makes a huge difference to 3D performance.Sony has also refined its 3D projector glasses. First time around, you needed to affix little filters to each lens; this year the new Active Shutter TDG-PJ1 eyewear is good to go straight from the box. They're also considerably lighter; Sony has reduced their weight by 18g. Even worn over prescription spectacles, they're manageable. While they have to be manually powered up to sync, they switch off automatically, preserving juice. The glasses are USB rechargeable – a 30-minute session on the ring main provides around 30 hours of use. Interestingly, the spectacles are not officially included with the projector. Like the transmitter, they're an optional extra. However, Sony UK concedes that all dealers are likely to bundle goggles and projector together as a package. Do remember to check this when comparing prices from different retailers.The motorised zoom may be missed, but horizontal and vertical lens shift wheels make for a simple setup. The throw distance is generous enough to achieve an image of 120-inches from a distance of a little over 13 feet. The remote control is also backlit, an eminently sensible provision.The VPL-HW30ES is respectfully quiet. Run the lamp on Low and fan noise drops to a gentle 22dB; this is perfectly acceptable in a cinema environment. Even during quiet scenes we weren't really aware of it.

The Sony VPL-HW20 is a very good home cinema projector that can and should be used for much more than just watching sports matches. It makes an excellent alternative to the Epson EH-TW500, although the TW500 is still a cut above thanks to its superior image quality, design and handling.
Out of the box, the lamp is set to 'high' but we set it to 'eco' to boost its lifespan. Note that the sound level doesn't increase much with the lamp set to 'high'. Next you'll need to correct the gamma: select level 3 instead of level 4 (the default setting). Finally, change the colour space from 'wide' to 'normal'. These settings give ideal results for watching films in the best possible conditions.

The HW20 marks a triumphant if belated return for Sony?s SXRD projection technology, ushering in enough improvement over the HW15 to comfortably justify the newer model?s £400 price hike, and giving DLP and LCD rivals plenty to think about. It takes work to get pictures looking at their absolute best, but the tools ? while unusual ? are there to do the job, helping to create a projector that?s as eager to please different needs and tastes as it is excellent.

TechRadar Issue 190: Sony VPL-HW20
With JVC promising all sorts of high-level upgrades for its imminent series of new D-ILA projectors, Sony is under pressure as it rolls out its annual updates to its rival SXRD PJs, such as this new offering, The Sony VPL-HW20. I've already seen and been impressed with a preview model of Sony's SXRD 3D projector, the VW90ES, but now it's the turn of what will likely be the brand's new 'mass market' SXRD option. What's more, this is a finished review sample, so any serious flaws I find will be too late for Sony to fix! On receiving the HW20, my initial thoughts were that it was going to replace last year's very likeable VPL-HW15 model, but this is not the case. Apparently, the HW15 is going to continue, with the HW20 slotting above it in the range and adding around £500 to the HW15's price (unless the HW15 starts to quickly become heavily discounted). Obviously, if the HW20 is going to be positioned above the HW15, it needs to have something extra to offer, and I was pleasantly surprised to find just how large that bonus is. For it turns out that, rather than just incrementally improving on the previous SXRD chip design and implementation, Sony has gone back to the drawing board and has not only created a wholly new chipset for the HW20 (featuring even finer inter-pixel spacing than the previous version), but also introduced a completely new optical system.As a result, Sony reckons that it's been able to boost the HW20's contrast and brightness levels by around 30 per cent each, compared with the HW15, resulting in claimed 80,000:1 contrast ratio and 1300 ANSI Lumens brightness figures. These are both fine numbers to find quoted for a reasonably affordable home cinema projector, even if I do have to stress that the 80,000:1 contrast ratio figure is a dynamic one (measured with the assistance of an active, automatic iris), rather than a native figure such as those claimed for JVC's more expensive D-ILA lightboxes. Me and Iris Dynamic iris systems are traditionally viewed with scepticism by serious home cinema buffs and with good reason. For if they're not done well they can cause distracting over-aggressive jumps in overall brightness levels, or prove pretty poor judges of the best balance between brightness and contrast that a particular shot or scene demands. However, the HW20 goes way further than most sub-£3K projectors to counter these potential dynamic iris problems. It gives end users much more control over exactly how much involvement the dynamic iris has in picture production. You can, for instance, adjust the speed of the iris's reactions and the 'default' amount of light it lets through. So, for example, you can reduce its aggressiveness if you've got a fully blacked-out room. Or you can start it off set to a higher brightness point if you've got a bit of ambient light to compete with. You can also turn the dynamic iris off entirely. As a home cinema fan, whenever I'm thinking about projectors at around the £2K-£3K price point, it's impossible not to have in mind Panasonic's PT-AE4000. This is partly because of its sterling, if not quite stellar performance, but mostly because of the prodigious toolset it carries for optimising picture setup. Sony may have had Panasonic's flexible friend in mind when compiling its own calibration tools, because options include a full colour management system via Sony's Real Colour Processor (RCP), high and low lamp output levels, gamma tweaks and a black booster. The RCP takes an unusually visual approach to picture calibration. For instance, when you choose a particular primary colour – be it red, green, blue, cyan, magenta or yellow – only that colour remains in the picture, so that you can focus on it in isolation. Adjustments can be done via a circular graph of the colour spectrum combined with some numeric tuning of colour and hue. While I admire the thinking behind the RCP and suspect it might engage novice tinkerers more than the standard colour calibration approach, I found the RCP a bit too unconventional and long-winded in its presentation for comfortable use. But all the same, there's no doubting its innate cleverness or ability to really improve pictures if you're patient with it. In aesthetic and connection terms the HW20 is all but identical to the HW15. This is no bad thing given that model's sleek, glossy, tastefully sculpted looks and provision of two HDMIs and a D-Sub PC jack among its connections. The only major absentee is a 12V trigger, which will annoy those hoping for integrated system control.
