Although the Sony VPL-VW50's picture quality falls short in a number of areas, it's easily one of the best values in 1080p front projection....
Editors' note, April 16, 2008 The rating on this review has been lowered from 7.5 to 7.2 due to changes in the competitive marketplace. Sony shook up the high-end front projection market last September when it introduced the VPL-VW50 SXRD front...
Despite the few problems I had with this projector, the VPL-VW50 produced a beautiful picture, especially considering its list price of $5000. (Remember that this is virtually the same projector as the VPL- VW100 that came out in 2005 for $10,000.) I saw...
The Sony VPL-VW50 with a MSRP of $4999 makes for an easy recommendation, not simply for the fact it’s the first 1080p front projector on the market for under 9k, but because it’s actually a solid performer in other areas as well. The Pearl’s sharp,...
The Sony VPL-VW50 is a solid 1080p projector that offers beautiful color saturation, contrast, and black level as its most noteworthy advantages over the competition. However, it basically offers the consumer two trade-off propositions, neither one of...
The Sony's side input panel contains most of what you'll need, including two HDMI jacks, a component-video input, and a VGA port. Of note, the projector's HDMI inputs accept 1080p/24-frame signals from a Blu-ray Disc player and it displays them at a...
The VPL-VW50 by Sony is their entry-level 1080p projector and a sibling of the almighty VPL-VW100. Bearing a glossy white and dark grey color-scheme, the VPL-VW50 is a very stylish and attractive piece of hardware. ...
Regular readers will recall that we tested - and were very impressed by - the first Sony projector to use the brand's new SXRD technology. In fact, only a couple of things stopped us from giving the VPL-VW100 a rave review and that was its...
Other than a few minor dots crawling around the odd surge of brightness in the picture, the only other negative we could dredge up is that as this is calibrated for HD its standard-def pics can't take advantage of the really clever stuff....
In spite of its price, the Pearl is nearly as gorgeous as any projector I've seen. The only projector I've seen that I unequivocally think is prettier is the $30K Qualia 004, the SXRD Mothership. The Pearl is curvy in all the right places, and while...
Good contrast ratio, Sharp images Doesnt take advantage of the really clever...
The Pearl is the new benchmark for its price point and beyond. It is the best projector real money can buy, and while I don’t want to get into the habit of proverbially calling the Super Bowl in week one, I will say that I’m confident I’ve just...
