Sony’s VPL-HS51A Cineza produces a bright and clear picture, and as has come to be expected of Sony, astoundingly vivid colors abound and impress.
The HS51A has a 10000:1 contrast ratio, so everything looks nice and crisp, especially when compared to other projectors. HD resolution is a solid 720p, and the picture size goes from 40 inches to around 16 feet.
The price is a little high for the performance, which keeps the VPL-HS51A out of the top spots for LCD Projectors. Even so, the clear picture and large size make this projector worth it.
