Sony's latest projector, the VPL-HW10 is one of a new generation of projectors that bring High Definition (HD) to the big screen. The main attraction of the VPL-HW10 is that at £1695, it represents excellent value for money (well compared to other HD projectors which can cost up to £5k!).The natural advantage of a projector is screen size, and with a screen width of up to 9 feet the VPL-HW10 packs the big screen punch. More impressive is picture quality, which is both supremely sharp (of coarse, its HD) and bright (1000 lumens). The VPL-HW10 also incorporates something called an 'Advanced Iris', which helps the projector to achieve a 30000:1 contrast ratio. For those you that arent projector anoraks, it means that picture detailing is excellent for a projector at this price point. Hooked up to a Playstation 3, the VPL-HW10 coped admirably with fast moving games such as Wipeout Fusion, although with such a big screen you do start to feel a bit sick. The only problem i had was that picture quality was significantly reduced during daytime operation due to intrusion of natural light, but this is a drawback of all projectors! They also could have tried a little harder with the design, which is a bit dull unless you love black. But overall, the Sony VPL-HW10 provides a true step forward in viewing experience over non-HD projectors whilst representing excellent value for monet at £1695.
