5 Stars Easy Peasy
Great purchase. Worked right out of the box and my husband didn’t even need the instructions! we use it for the backyard with an inflatable movie screen and the volume is great – didn’t even need to hook up extra speakers. Highly recommend, well worth the money.

5 Stars Very practical and affordable
I purchased this item for a client to be used in a kids’bunkroom, using it with the Epson Duet screen. Works great! Will also be ordering another one for a client for outdoor “movie night” Have to be careful as to placement in room though and consider distance to screen and where to place the projector. Client loves it. Wasn’t too pleased with Amazon’s delivery. I was supposed to have gotten free 2 day Prime shipping, but didn’t. I wound up paying for the 2 day shipping and it took longer than 2 days. Emailed Amazon about this, first response was not helpful. Emailed again with all information and there was no reply. A little disappointed in customer service.

5 Stars Portable, Easy to Use, Quality Picture and Color
I purchased this machine for the sole use of using it outside for “drive in” movie nights. So far I’ve used it for so much more. Yes, we have had one night without rain and were able to use it. We had a backyard of very happy teenagers watching scary movies until the wee hours of the morning. Then, we played Wii on it and just for giggles, I hooked it up to my laptop to see what viewing pleasure could be found on that. AMAZING. This is the EASIEST projector I have ever used. The sound quality is incredible. Picture is terrific and the FUN is absolutely priceless. I also purchased a blow up screen for outdoor use and a pull down screen for inside making it a very versatile item. My entire family is enjoying this projector. I’ve only had this item for a few weeks, but so far everything about it is perfect! For me, this is best item I have purchased in a very long time.

The VPLVW40 BRAVIA home cinema projector uses Sony’s BRAVIA Engine & trade full digital video processor for crisp and clear images. A digital contrast enhancer circuit improves contrast by enhancing all areas from dark to bright in parallel with texture control providing a three dimensional picture. Details in dark areas of the picture are there, just like they are supposed to be. Sony’s Advanced Iris function uses algorithms designed to analyze the histogram of each picture along with nonlinear amplification to dynamically adjust the iris for its optimum opening. The result is a stunningly high contrast ratio of up to 15,000:1. A Sony-designed fan efficiently removes heat at a barely noticeable noise spec of 22dB. Advanced Sony technologies ensure a clean picture, while the ultra quiet fan means noise won’t distract you from the beautiful projections. A specially designed crisp focus lens was developed to take full advantage of the full 1920 x 1080 HD resolution that the SXRD panel device offers. SXRD is a display technology developed by the legendary television engineers at Sony to meet and exceed the demands of a high definition image at its full 1080-line resolution. It is a 1920 x 1080p panel characterized by several key benefits, including full HD resolution, smooth film-like image with minimal screen door effects, high response times (2.5ms rise and fall), high contrast ratios, and accurate color rendition.

4 Stars I’m in Heaven
I just hooked up my Sony vpl-vw40 projector and I’m very happy with it. I must admit that I have little experience and don’t have an extensive comparison backround, but it is more that I had hoped for. Nice blacks, vibrant colors. Also a very simple remote with intuitive functions. I just had over 20 people over- we watched “Night at the Museum” on Blue ray with a superb full 1080 res and then “Crouching Tiger” on traditional DVD. Upscaling to 1080p was great. Not quite as good as the BlueRay but pretty dang good for making up info. Everyone was amazed at the clarity. I hooked it to a Denon AVR-2308CI Home theater A/V Receiver and Fluance(tm) 5 Speaker SXHTB+ Surround Sound Home Theater System SX-HTB+. The speakers just boggle me. So much for so little. Anyways- there’s not any reviews I can see so far on this new projector, so hopefully this will be of use.

Only one word…..AMAZING…..The picture quality, the blacks, the contrast….all excelent. Thanks to Sony for make another great product.

5 Stars 1080p front projection finally at an affordable price
I picked up the Sony VPL-VW40 to replace an aging 720p VPL-HS51 that has worked pretty well for over 3 years. One warranty repair was needed on the HS51 for a problem with the blue filter about a year and a half in, and it’s now out of warranty and was also about due for another lamp replacement so it seemed like a good time to upgrade.

I was a little worried that the VW40 might not be bright enough since it reportedly has a little lower maximum light output than the Epson 1080UB (which I also looked at), but I shouldn’t have been worried since I only project an about 85″ image (small room). To me the VW40 actually looks slightly brighter than the HS51 if anything. The big difference, though, is in resolution and black level. The image is much sharper and more detailed, especially with a 1080p source. I think it even looks somewhat better on upconverted content. It’s also quieter and I can’t even hear the fan noise unless I listen carefully for it. One thing I struggled with a bit is the sheer size and weight of the VW40. It’s a significant increase in both size and weight from the HS51 and I had to modify my home built ceiling mount to ensure it could handle it. It’s over 24lbs while the HS51 was less than 13lbs.

My reasons for choosing this model over the 1080UB include a couple of main factors. First, I’ve become accustomed to Sony projectors and I liked the similar features/connections/menus/etc. Secondly, the Sony is an SXRD (LCOS) projector vs the 3-LCD Epson. It has a sealed light path, so the need for a frequently replaced fine particle air filter is largely eliminated as is the danger of getting “dust blobs” in the picture. I’ve also heard some reports of convergence problems on the Epson. Otherwise, the performance of the projectors is very similar, with the Epson having a slight edge in maximum light output as well as black level, however both are so much better than the previous generation that the difference between them seems minor.

So far I’m very pleased with the projector’s performance, however, since it only comes with a 1-year warranty and my HS51 needed a warranty repair after more than 1 year I went ahead and got the extended warranty on this one, and would probably recommend that others do the same. As such you may want to factor that in to the total cost when comparing this unit with other models that may come with longer standard warranties (I believe the Epson has 2 years). I think you can even add the warranty to a refurbished unit if you want to make up for some of the extra cost, and Sony sometimes has an extra 10% off coupon for refurbished products.

One word:

SPECTACULAR

I wanted to write a review because I remember there were none on Amazon when I wanted to purchase this projector and I always find the customer reviews helpful. I bought this about a month ago and have been thoroughly impressed. It has better image quality then my Mitsubishi DLP. If you can Go for it you will not be let down!

4 Stars Does the basics right !!
I liked the features on PT-ae3000u much more, so I will give this projector 4 stars. However, I am completely impressed with the image quality. It has the image that made me go ‘wow’. I cannot compare the image quality with other projectors and I cannot comment on how long the good image quality will last. I also cannot comment on bluray video quality because I have only played wii on this so far.

But I am impressed nonetheless !

4 Stars Good quality, good price
Have had this for about 6 months and really enjoyed it. When connected with HDMI, I had a greenish line on the right side of the screen that wasn’t present when the same device was connected to a tv, but it has a edge cut feature that fixed this up.

5 Stars Good choice so far.
Very happy with the HD65 so far. I had other AV issues but once that was resolved, the picture and ease of use are great. I have mine set up as a ceiling mount rear projector. Easy to mount and focus. Picture looks great and I am excited to have my partons enjoy it as they watch the game.

5 Stars Excellent Value
This projector was bought after about two years of research (the time it took to build my basement) – and it is worth every penny I spent on it. It is a great addition to any home theater – esp those wanting a slim form factor projector that is relatively easy to set up and mount.

4 Stars So far, so good
I have less than 100 hours on this new bulb, so I can’t comment on bulb life. My largest quibble is with the bulb’s location on the projector in that I had to take it down from the ceiling and remove the mount to replace the bulb. Also, there were no installation instructions included, so I had to find the owners manual. And these bulbs are still too expensive. But the picture from the revitalized HD70 makes it all worth while.

5 Stars Bulb lasted 150% advertised life
I know, it’s expensive (read the other review). I thought the same thing. But you did check the bulb prices before you bought the projector, right?

Right?

Anyway, because of my previous experience with an Acer projector, I expected this bulb to last in the area of 750 hours (it’s advertised at 2000). To my pleasant surprise, my first bulb went to 2970 before dying.

Just make sure, when you replace the bulb, that you carefully clear out any dust from the inside of the case; if your screen is flashing green, your color wheel is probably gummed up. It took me forever to figure that out.

Anyhow, your choice is between this bulb at about $250 for 2000+ hours, or some other crappy bulb for $180 at < 1000 hours. You do the math.

5 Stars This projector provides excellent 1080p images
I bought this projector to replace a Sharp LCD with standard resolution. This projector is smaller and much quieter. It has an interesting set of adjustment wheels that allow you to adjust the image to the screen with ease. There is no need for a keystone adjustment as this projector corrects for it automatically. It gives you a variety of choices for video connections, but it performs extremely well using the HDMI connection. It has good brightness, even in a partially lit room and has rich colors and good blacks in a darkened room. It provides extremely sharp 1080p images; I am using it with an 8 feet wide screen at a distance of about 20 feet and it has room to throw a bigger image. If you are looking for an “affordable” full 1080p projector with good features, this is the one you should buy.

5 Stars AMAZING
This projector is Awesome. It replaced a Sharp projector that I was in love with for 3 years, and this blows it out of the water… Dual HDMI inputs, razor sharp resolution, EXTREMELY bright if you want it to be means daytime viewing is no problem.

This thing is BIG and a bit of a beast, but that just makes me feel even more that I got what I paid for. Happy camper here.

4 Stars Well worth the price!
If you are looking to break into the 1080p projector territory, this is an excellent projector! I’ve had the chance to use my 6100 now for a few weeks, and it definitely doesn’t disappoint. Image quality is fantastic, and the colors are great too (when configured correctly). I’ve been using mine with the HDMI output of a Harman Kardon AVR-254 7×50W 7.1-Channel Home Theater Receiver with HDMI 1.3a Repeater.

Pros:

* This sucker is BRIGHT. I am amazed at how nice it looks even with ambient light.

* Minimal screen door, as should be expected for a 1080p projector.

* The expanded color mode is beautiful, and works quite well.

* Contrast ratio is good, but don’t believe the 18000:1. It is still remarkably good for a <$2000 projector, and blows others that I've seen out of the water. But I have seen a lot of compression-artifact banding on Bluray sources -- you need a good video source to achieve good results.

Cons:

* I haven’t figured out why yet, but sometimes the projector loses focus. It could be vibrations from traffic nearby, kids playing upstairs, or the startup sequence, but the focus definitely needs to be tweaked from time to time. If you plan to mount your projector where it is not easily accessible, I would go so far as to suggest a different projector.

* If you have an HDMI source, it doesn’t seem to allow you to change the aspect ratio and zoom options. This gets kind of annoying when watching a letterboxed 4:3 source, because you can’t zoom in on the smaller image frame — you are stuck with the combined letterboxing and pillarboxing.

* The lens shift feature is excellent, but beware the limitations — you can’t shift fully in all directions. When shifting far to the left or right, you can’t also shift fully up or down. And if you are shifting near to the center point, it becomes difficult to tweak the shift because it wants to lock in on the center point.

* A number of the color mode seem useless and blown out in the out-of-the-box settings. I haven’t adjusted much to try out the other settings….

All in all, I’m incredibly happy, as I couldn’t spend more on a higher-end projector, and this gave me almost everything I wanted. For a five star home theater rating, you’ll probably need to spend at least $1000 more…
