Projectors provide the ultimate home theater experience, and Sony's VPL-HW10 delivers a stunning picture that can compete with far costlier models. Videophiles will find plenty of adjustments for fine-tuning the picture, but the VPL-HW10 also performs beautifully straight out of the box.

Full 1080p resolution for super-sharp images
Each of the VPL-HW10's three high-resolution SXRD panels has 1920 x 1080 pixels �X that's twice the number of pixels available from 720p projectors. Those additional pixels reveal greater detail, depth and dimensionality. And this projector's 1080p native resolution lets you see all the details in 1080i material, the most common high-def format for satellite, cable, and over-the-air broadcasts. (HDTV reception requires a separate HDTV tuner.)
