TrustedReviews has reviewed the Sony Bravia VPL-VW200 SXRD, which is the company’s latest home theater projector. It features 1080p full HD 24p true cinema resolution courtesy of a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens. The device has a contrast ratio of 35,000 x 1, a brightness level of 800 lumens, 2.5ms of response time, and a 100MHz of frame rate. Priced at 17,300 (£8,500), the VPL-VW200 only provides two HDMI 1.3 ports. Here is a verdict.
Perhaps disappointingly however this cinematic monster only supports two HDMI 1.3 ports when we have been getting used to three, but it does sport component, S-video and Composite and will run ultra quiet at 22dB.
