Sony VPL-HS51A / VPL-HS60 LCD Projector

Pros: Bright, tops among the competition, top of the line
Cons: Projector - None, be aware of required cord length for cables

I did weeks of research and comparison on many different Projectors for my home entertainment use. After weeks of review and in-person "play-time", I settled on the Sony VPL-HS60 model. It was more expensive than the other models available at Best Buy, ...

Pros: HDMI input Projects larger images Very quiet
Cons: Larger unit Not as clear and sharp as DLP Pricey

I picked this one up as a loaner as my bulb in my Sharp DT-100 was being replaced. I have to say that I was excited as the Sony unit was heralded as being way more technologically advanced than my DLP projector. Though the images projected were significantly larger (lack of a better word) I miss the clarity and sharpness of my Sharp unit. I think that DLP technology surpasses the LCD and I have NEVER gotten a rainbow effect as some may claim.

I do however see an advantage of the Sony's having the HDMI input; I haven't used it 'cause its a loaner.

In all I saved about $700-800 by purchasing the DLP and I do not regret it.
