Sony's SXRD projector en route for Asia

Philip Wong | Nov 28, 2007

For you technology adopters, Sony has two spanking new Silicon X-tal Reflective Display beamers on the plate. The VPL-VW60 and VW200 Bravia full-HD projections are outfitted with newly designed panels that double the previous dynamic contrast to a whopping 35,000:1 rating. Both also support 24p True Cinema for judder-free 1080p24 video playback, while the flagship couples that with 120Hz Motion Flow picture frame rate-doubling technology and Bravia Engine Pro video processing.

Other common features for the two new entries include a powerful 1.8x optical zoom, handy lens shift and provision for ultra-widescreen anamorphic lens. Design-wise, there are very few variations from their predecessors except for minor cosmetic tweaking in terms of casing hues.
The S$6,999 (US$4,683.80) VPL-VW60 is already available in most parts of Asia, while the VPL-VW200 is expected to hit retail shelves from December. Detailed pricing was not available at press time.
