audionoob1624705779 Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Another great LCOS pj is coming to the market. :) http://www.sonystyle.com.hk/ss/product/tv/vpl_vw60_e.jsp
HT102 Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Surprisingly, no mention of HDMI v1.3 and x.v.color ...
audionoob1624705779 Posted August 14, 2007 Author Posted August 14, 2007 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
Bono1624705732 Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 how much is the VW-50? the VW-60 in action last weekend at HK Hi Fi Show.... (HK website in chinese) http://www.avbuzz.com/audio-video/200708/vw60/index.htm
Phil1624705739 Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Des, you up to the job of reviewing this baby? Phil
audionoob1624705779 Posted August 15, 2007 Author Posted August 15, 2007 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.

tsammyc Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 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.

audionoob1624705779 Posted September 7, 2007 Author Posted September 7, 2007 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........

htfreak Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 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,
audionoob1624705779 Posted September 29, 2007 Author Posted September 29, 2007 Sammy, When will the VW-60 be ready for a demo? :)
slkk Posted September 29, 2007 Posted September 29, 2007 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. Sammy Low Sound Decisions.
Bono1624705732 Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 can't wait to see this beauty in action... ;D
