- Sony VPL VW60 - SXRD projector
- Sony's entry-level SXRD-based front projector, the VPL-VW60, is the successor to last year's price-busting VPL-VW50. Also as a 1080p resolution projector with the same $4,999 list price, it faces stiffer competition these days with more 1080p projectors available for lower prices. Based on my findings with the company's flagship VPL-VW200,...

The same basic story stays true for the TC-PV10 series, but...

- Sony VPL-HW10
- Sony may have canned its line of SXRD-based rear-projection HDTVs in favor of flat-panel LCDs, but the technology is going strong among front projectors. The VPL-HW10 is the company's lowest-priced SXRD projector yet. It starts the updated three-model SXRD line just below the VPL-VW70, which will replace last year's "Pearl"...

Yamaha's single speaker surround systems all use advanced technology to project sound into the...

- Sony VPL VW200
- Sony's 2007 flagship front projector, the VPL-VW200, uses the company's variant of LCoS, called SXRD, and like most high-end projectors, it features a native resolution of 1080p. Those specs and jargon may well impress your buddies, but the real story is in the picture. The VPL-VW200 is the most color-accurate...

- Sony DAV-HDX267W
- It might be an overly simplistic view, but the balance of design, features, and performance is generally all that separates one home theater in a box HTIB from another. Sony's Dream systems have traditionally prioritized design over the other two factors, but the new Bravia series aims to emphasize its...

- Panasonic TH-50PX77U
- In the 50-something-inch screen size, plasma still holds a price advantage over LCD, although that advantage is shrinking every day. And as LCD TVs deliver improving picture quality and boast higher native resolutions, plasmas have to compete in other areas. One new picture-quality front is the screen itself--many newer plasmas,...

- Sony VPL-VW50
- Sony shook up the high-end front projection market last September when it introduced the VPL-VW50 SXRD front projector at a list price of $5,000. The unit, dubbed the "Pearl," is still among the least expensive 1080p front projectors available. It does some things really well, although it falls short in...

The first was Pioneer's Pro-FHD1, which earned the highest picture-quality marks we've given out in a long time. The Panasonic also delivers excellent images, although it's not quite as impressive as...

- The most popular size for wide-screen LCD TVs right now is 32 inches diagonal, perhaps because it closely matches the screen real estate of 27-inch, non-wide-screen CRT TVs that many people want to replace. These sets come in numerous prices, brands, and feature sets, and JVC's LT-32X787, with a street...
