2. VPL-HW50ES - Full HD 3D home projector
Avatar was the first of many 3D films to grace cinema screens, and now, you can enjoy all that from the comfort of your own living room with Sony's new 3D movie projector. The VPL-HW50ES is Sony's latest Full HD 3D home projector and is seen as the successor to the VPL-HW30ES. Using the very latest technology, the HW50ES is seen as a market leader in delivering the 3D home cinema experience. By optimizing the optical block and improving the light efficiency of the lamp, the device boasts 1,700lm brightness - that's 30% brighter than the previous model. Sonys contrast enhancer technology and Optimised Advanced Iris 3 algorithm combine to give the projector a dynamic contrast ratio of more than 100,000:1, according to the press release issued to me. Tak Nakane, product manager of Sony Europe said:
When we launched the VPL-HW30ES we knew that wed set a high standard. In announcing the VPL-HW50ES, Sony is confident that its raised that bar again, setting the benchmark for home cinema projection.
