Ratings: Sony VPL-VW100 LCOS Projector

Build Quality: 93
• Loose cover mars an otherwise well-built case
• Thermal management exceptionally well thought out

Value: 92
• 1080p for less money than some 720p
• Looks more expensive than it is

Features: 91
• Auto iris works extremely well
• 1080p on HDMI and DVI (from a DVD player, anyway)

Performance: 96
• Truly excellent black level and contrast ratio
• With the right source, the level of detail is astonishing

Ergonomics: 90
• Backlit remote works decently
• Menus are detailed but somewhat annoying to navigate

Overall Rating: 93
The black level and contrast ratio are the best we've measured in a digital display, and the detail is astounding. It looks amazing, and it's less expensive than just about every high-end DLP projector (which are only 720p).
