Built on Sony’s SXRD technology, the VPL-VW100 1920 x 1080p projector is built from three micro display panels supporting a Full High Definition 1080 line resolution image. This technology ensures support of full HD resolution with a film-like image presented in accurate color rendition and high contrast ratio providing you with that “at home” theater experience you’ve always desired.Providing the illumination is a Sony 400W Pure Xenon Lamp providing equal brightness output for each of the primary colors - red, green and blue, which are used to produce the trillions of colors that you as the viewer enjoy on the screen. The projector’s Advanced Iris technology also helps to improve images by monitoring algorithms and adjusting the iris diameter so images in bright scenes are crisp and clear while black levels in dark scenes are deep and detailed. And forget the annoying loud projector sounds of the past; the VW100 is designed to remain ultra quiet while it removes heat at a noise spec of just 22dB.

Sony 1080p Projector - VPL-VW100 Reviews
Home Theater Magazine has a review of the Sony 1080p Projector - VPL-VW100 and writes, “What can I say? Despite its faults, the VPL-VW100 is a beautiful and incredible-looking projector. This is the first time I’d wholeheartedly say you should go for 1080p over 720p. If you have the means, go for it. It’s that good.”
CNET has a review of the Sony 1080p Projector - VPL-VW100 and writes, “Sony has revolutionized the high-end front-projection market with its VPL-VW100, a projector with full 1080p resolution for a retail price of a penny under $10,000. For now, its closest direct-price competitors are all 720p designs with a single DLP chip, although we’ll see 1080p DLP models hit the market later this year. Those models may well rival this Sony’s performance, but in the meantime, the VPL-VW100’s picture quality surpasses that of any like-priced projector.”
HD Blog.net has a review of the Sony 1080p Projector - VPL-VW100 and writes, “…it has a nice build quality for a projector to be priced at €9990. Just looking at it lets you know there’s something special there. The great industrial design makes it look like it wants to float into your home theater room.”
Sony 1080p Projector - VPL-VW100 Press Release
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 8, 2005 – Sony Electronics today took the wraps off a new 1920 x 1080p (progressive) high-definition front projector based on the company’s exclusive Silicon X-tal Reflective Display (SXRD™) technology, with a contrast ratio of up to 15,000:1.
The VPL-VW100 joins the two new Grand WEGA SXRD rear-projection microdisplay televisions, the KDS-R60XBR1 and KDS-R50XBR1, utilizing the world smallest 0.61 SXRD chip to deliver more than 2 million pixels and the full power of high-definition. The projector incorporates three SXRD chips – one each for red, green and blue color reproduction – to deliver more than 6 million native pixels.
“Our goal is to optimize the home theater experience and this new SXRD projector is another example of how we’re accomplishing that goal,” said Randy Waynick, senior vice president of the Home Products Division for Sony Electronics. “This is absolutely a true movie theater experience in the comfort of your own home.”
Leaning on some of the same technology found in Sony’s acclaimed QUALIA 004 SXRD projector, the VPL-VW100 model features a 400 watt Pure Xenon lamp that delivers unrivaled color reproduction. The lamp approximates sun light and can reproduce colors closest to the natural spectrum including the red bandwidth, and is widely used in professional film projectors.
The new Advanced Iris produces accurate blacks and works with three 0.61 SXRD chips to deliver an over-all contrast ratio of up to 15,000:1 when “auto” Iris mode is on. Additionally, thanks to an advanced cooling structure, the VPL-VW100 features an extremely low fan noise of 22dB, which is one of the lowest in the industry and critical for home theater applications.
The projector also features 1.8x powered lens zoom and powered focus as well as lens shift to adjust the vertical and/or horizontal manual location of the image for flexible installation locations. Input options include 1080p HDMI and DVI-D and RGB and component video.
The new VPL-VW100 will be available in November for about $10,000 at authorized dealers nationwide.
