Another great LCOS pj is coming to the market. :)

Surprisingly, no mention of HDMI v1.3 and x.v.color ...

 

There's quite a bit of speculation about the final spec for this pj. Some notable improvement over VW-50 is the CR of 35K:1, brightness of 1000 lumens and some sort of panel alignment function. Rumours have it that the pricing is going to be very attractive :P

how much is the VW-50? 

 

the VW-60 in action last weekend at HK Hi Fi Show.... (HK website in chinese)

According to avbuzz, VW-60 will launch at a price point of HKD38,990 which is equivalent to about SGD7800. That's about the same price point as the VW-50.

hmmm... still on the high side...  ::)

If its that price, mine might as well be a HD80 from Circuit City for S$3,600. The website price is USD3,699, but apparently the stores have it for about USD350 less. Have a friend in the US looking for it right now.

don't think local pricing can beat that...  ::)

 

only concern is the servicing issue...

The price is very attractive. Just waiting for reviews to see if Sony sort out the image "softness" issue with the new panel adjustment function........

Hi guys,

We'll probably have the VW60 soon and you may be pleasantly surprised with the price. Stay tuned. I'll let you guys know once it's finalised. Thank you.

Actually it's bigger brother, the VW200 was at Sammy's showroom last Saturday when I happened to drop by and say hi.  Not sure if it is still there as it was placed there for a photo shoot session by Sony,

Sammy,

 

When will the VW-60 be ready for a demo?  :)

Audionoob,

I'm in conversation with Sony Singapore, probably pretty soon. I just want the best price possible for this baby. Will keep you guys posted once we finalised. Thank you.
