Sony BRAVIA VPL-VW40 Home Theater Projector Review

By Bill Livolsi

As you can see, the Sony VPL-VW40 fits nicely within the current lineup of 1080p projectors. It lacks the extreme lumen output or placement flexibility of the AE2000 or 1080 UB, but compensates with a sharper picture and superior black. Even then, it ...

Sony VPL-VW40

By Alex Jennings

The Sony VPL-VW40 projector impresses us in its clarity and precision of its pictures. It truly beats anything else in its class and its price tag isn't as shocking as some projectors on the market. Plus, its total freedom from technology noise could ...

Exceptional picture sharpness ; impressively little video noise ; great design ; decent price

Colours can look washed out ; the image isn't very bright

We had our doubts about whether Sony could really translate its undoubtedly impressive SXRD technology down to the sub-£2,500 level. Thankfully, all of the things that make SXRD special really are present on the entry-level VPL-VW40, even if there are ...

Sony VPL-VW40 Review - LCD Projectors

By Alex Jennings

sony vpl-vw40 review: Although there's room for improvement in the colour department, the Sony VPL-VW40 is yet another impressive advert for SXRD.

Exceptional picture sharpness, Impressively little video noise, Great design, Decent price

Colours can look washed out, The image isn't very bright

Although there's room for improvement in the colour department, the Sony VPL-VW40 is yet another impressive advert for SXRD.

We're rather excited by the arrival of the VPL-VW40, which brings SXRD - Sony's version of LCOS - technology in at the vastly more agreeable price of AU$4699. Other on-paper specs impress too, namely a claimed contrast ratio of 15,000:1 and Sony's...

Sony Bravia VPL-VW40 SXRD Home Cinema Projector

By John Archer

Award: Recommended!

Sony produces an SXRD based projector that doesn't cost the earth.

The VW40 provides ample proof that Sony's SXRD system really can work well at affordable as well as high prices. A little shortage of brightness perhaps limits its potential audience a touch, but provided you fit the criteria laid out in the last ...

Until now, at least, for sat politely on our projector stand is Sony's brand new VPL-VW40, an SXRD projector yours for the decidedly unprincely sum of ?1,905. In case you hadn't noticed, the home cinema projection market is no longer just about a...

Gestochen scharfe HD-Projektion: Sony VPL-VW40

By Alex Jennings

US Note: This is an automatic translation. The text can differ from the original review.

It was long not sure if Sony is able to regain his unquestionably impressive SXRD technology also on the segment below 3000 Euro transfer. It looks good: The entry-level model VPL-VW40 takes all this with what SXRD concerned. Only one or two shortcomings...

exceptional image sharpness, remarkable little video noise, good design, reasonable price

washy colors work sometimes, not very bright picture

Even if the colors further improvements are possible, the VW40 delivers impressive arguments for the SXRD technology .

It looks good: The entry-level model VPL -VW40 takes all this with what SXRD concerned. Therefore, the introduction of his little brother's VPL-VW40 so exciting. Because it comes with SXRD, Sony's version of LCOS [2], and at a much ...

A full hd projector that may be mostly positive attributes. The default setting is not much to cheer for and a calibration is recommended. Then on the other hand, the picture become really good .

Test av Sony VPL-VW40 Projektor

By Lyd & Bilde

US Note: This is an automatic translation. The text can differ from the original review.

So good image quality that this has so far cost meat. With this projector Sony has halved the price, and polished image quality

Good contrast and sortniv; Top Color dynamics; Crisp detail; noise;

Hard to set the focus exactly; Color Calibration time-consuming, low luminous efficacy; size;

Power of Sony VW40 is an unparalleled contrast and contrast gradients, which we have not seen better in this price range. After adjustments are color reproduction on a par with much more expensive projectors, and much more neutral color makes it difficult...
