Review: Sony VPL-VW200 is the projector to beat

Kevin Miller writes:

(CNET.com) -- Sony's 2007 flagship front projector, the VPL-VW200, uses the company's variant of LCoS, called SXRD, and like most high-end projectors, it features a native resolution of 1080p. Those specs and jargon may well impress your buddies, but the real story is in the picture.

The VPL-VW200 is the most color-accurate front projector we've seen for less than $30,000, and it basically smokes anything at or near its price range in overall image accuracy.

Sony must have listened to our incessant complaining about inaccurate primary and secondary colors, as the company has delivered near perfection in that area.

This unit also adds some really flexible setup features, and it looks great hanging from the ceiling. As of this writing, the Sony VPL-VW200 is the new high-end projector to beat.
