To πρώτο review του Sony VPL VW40 στο Projectorreviews.com… μια χαρά ακούγεται το μηχάνημα και φυσικά για τα χρήματα που ζητά στην US ($3.000) ούτε λόγος…
... Definitely a serious contender, the Sony will appeal to those that are "movies first" and less concerned, or not planning to watch a lot of HDTV/TV, or sports.
If you aren't planning to get the Sony VPL-VW40 tuned - calibrated, at least with a basic calibration disc, or better, by a professional, then the Sony probably is not a good choice. If you are serious though, this Sony belongs on your short list of 1080p projectors selling for less than $3000.
If your room offers fully controlled lighting, and you don't mind watching things other than movies, in a dark environment, the Sony makes a lot of sense.
Just remember, part of the low price you are getting, is at the expense of a decent length warranty, so I recommend you do something about that.
Certainly, the Sony makes an excellent low cost alternative to the more expensive VW60, as well as JVC's RS1. Your toughest call, will be choosing between the VPL-VW40, and the current champ of the new 3LCD projectors, the Epson.
Both however, are really excellent projectors, and, I believe a cut above most of the similarly and lower priced competition, from a price performance standpoint. You'll have to sort out the tradeoffs.
If you decide on the Sony, and get it properly tuned up, you will be hard pressed not to fully enjoy the experience.
