Also catching our eye is a striking claimed contrast range – for the sub-£2k price point – of 30,000:1, achieved via a dynamic iris arrangement that adjusts the amount of light the projector emits based on an analysis of the image content to be shown. One of SXRD’s most stand-out features is the density of its pixel structure, so it comes as no surprise to find the HW10 sporting a Full HD resolution of 1920×1080. Inside the HW10 beats a heart made from Sony’s SXRD technology – a derivation of Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCOS) that has JVC’s outstanding D-ILA technology as its closest technological rival. Two CEC-enabled v1.3 HDMI inputs lead the way, which can receive the x.v.Colour and Deep Colour formats, and there’s fine support from a component video port, a D-Sub PC port, and an RS-232 port for system integration. It isn’t quite as monumental, for want of a better word, as the VW80, but at the same time its size, weight and build quality are of a higher order than you usually get at the sub-£2k end of the market. Its ‘cosmic black’ body looks sturdy and – thanks to a glossy finish and some appealing curves – really very pretty. The HW10 starts well by looking pretty much as attractive as the VW80. ![]() The question is, will the performance differences between these two projectors prove as extreme as their prices? Just a couple of weeks after spending quality time with Sony’s five grand VPL-VW80 projector, we now find ourselves sharing our test room with Sony’s VPL-HW10 – a relative snip at just £1695.
