The good:
  • Exceptional picture sharpness
  • Impressively little video noise
  • Great design
  • Decent price
The bad:
  • Colours can look washed out
  • The image isn't very bright
The bottomline:

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