| I had a Sony VPL-HS51 for three years, replaced the lamp twice and no problems. Even though the HS51 is only 720p, it is an excellent starter projector for home theater. But like most home theater owners, I was looking to upgrade to 1080p. Since the HS51 worked so well, I decided to stay with a Sony. The VW200 seems to be Sony's top of the line, but this was out of my price range. Local demos of the VW60 showed excellent the color, sharpness and advanced features. The VW60 has an Anamorphic display feature that is only found on high-end projectors. I'm looking forward to adding an Anamorphic lens for "true" wide screen movies with full 1080 vertical lines. I have had the VW60 for 2 months and it shows better in my home than at the store. I used the Avia home theater DVD for setup and found the factory settings in Cinema mode were very close to Avia. I agree with other postings this is the best 1080p projector on the market for the money. Vist my VW60 website at http://www.vplvw60.dexaweb.com/ for a list of my settings and more. |

| Even in low lamp setting the fan noise is higher than my old HS51. |
