- Sony VPL-HW10
- Sony may have canned its line of SXRD-based rear-projection HDTVs in favor of flat-panel LCDs, but the technology is going strong among front projectors. The VPL-HW10 is the company's lowest-priced SXRD projector yet. It starts the updated three-model SXRD line just below the VPL-VW70, which will replace last year's "Pearl"...

- Samsung HL61A750
- Rear-projection HDTVs, as a category, are on their way out, and DLP-based sets are the only microdisplay choice available, now that all manufacturers of LCD- and LCoS-based rear-projection displays have basically ceased production. Samsung and Mitsubishi are pretty much the only players left in this category--they're the only two...

- Samsung SP-A800B
- Samsung's flagship one-chip DLP-based home theater projector, the SP-A800B, takes accuracy of signal reproduction to a new level. My previous reference projector, the Samsung SP-H710AE, was designed by Joe Kane, and that well-known video guru and author of Digital Video Essentials also designed the SP-A800B. While the 710E is spectacularly...

- JVC DLA HD100 - D-ILA projector
- JVC's DLA-HD100 1080p resolution front projector is the company's new flagship model, while the DLA-HD1 from last year remains in the line at a lower price point. The HD100 adds some improvements that are certainly desirable--including improved black level performance and contrast ratio--but oddly the color accuracy and light output...

- Sony VPL VW60 - SXRD projector
- Sony's entry-level SXRD-based front projector, the VPL-VW60, is the successor to last year's price-busting VPL-VW50. Also as a 1080p resolution projector with the same $4,999 list price, it faces stiffer competition these days with more 1080p projectors available for lower prices. Based on my findings with the company's flagship VPL-VW200,...

Period.RE: On+the+show+floor+at+PMA+2008%3A+Sony+shows+off+high-end+DSLR+prototypeI think these are great cameras. While I have the a100, I look forward to buying an a700. These cameras have great feel, functionality, and features. The only gripe about mine is the noise on 800 and 1600 ISO. But it has...

- Panasonic PT-AE2000U
- Panasonic has been in the front-projection business for a long time, and has been aggressively pricing its home-theater projectors for just as long, which has effectively driven prices down in the category as a whole. As a result it's now more affordable than ever to get a really big screen...

- Sony VPL VW200
- 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...

- Sony KDS-55A3000
- Sony has a real winner with the new KDS-A3000 series, represented here by the 55-inch KDS-55A3000, the middle of three sizes. We liked Sony's LCoS-based SXRD technology when it was first introduced a couple of years ago, and the company has followed up by significantly improving performance. While not perfect,...

- Sony KDS-60A2020
- Editors' Note:: According to Sony, the 2007 KDS-60A2020 is exactly the same as the 2006 KDS-60A2000 except for color; the new model's cabinet is black instead of silver. For that reason, we will not review the KDS-60A2020 or any of Sony's other A2020 series SXRD HDTVs. Below we present a...

- Sony VPL-VW50
- Sony shook up the high-end front projection market last September when it introduced the VPL-VW50 SXRD front projector at a list price of $5,000. The unit, dubbed the "Pearl," is still among the least expensive 1080p front projectors available. It does some things really well, although it falls short in...

- Sony KDS-R60XBR2
- The pricy but feature-packed KDS-R60XBR2, Sony's step-up to the KDS-60A2000, has some big shoes to fill as the company's flagship rear-projection HDTV for 2006. This 60-inch big screen costs substantially more than its non-XBR brother, yet a thorough read of the spec sheet reveals very few differences. The televisions...

- Sony KDS-60A2000
- Sony has enjoyed a lofty place on our top HDTV products lists for a long time, first with the KD-34XBR960 CRT television, then with the KDL-V40XBR1 LCD, and most recently with the KDS-R60XBR1 rear-projection, our highest-rated HDTV for 2005. So it stands to reason that we'd expect big things from...

- Sony VPL-VW100
- Projectors can produce comparatively enormous pictures, so a high native resolution is even more important in a projector than in a standard HDTV. After all, if the picture measures 100 inches diagonally as opposed to 50 or 42, you'll have a lot more opportunity to discern individual pixels and notice...
