| The Bottom Line | Although the Sony VPL-VW50's picture quality falls short in a number of areas, it's easily one of the best values in 1080p front projection. | The Samsung SP-A800B outperforms every projector in its class hands-down, and competes favorably with the three-chip DLP units that cost three times as much. | The Sony VPL-VW100 produces big, beautiful 1080p images at a price-to-performance ratio that no current projector can match. | While its color fidelity is not nearly as good as other late-model Sony SXRD products, the otherwise good-performing VPL-VW60 home theater projector remains a solid value. | The Panasonic PT-AE2000U 1080p projector is a credible performer, especially when you consider its relatively low price. | Basic specs |
