sony-VPL-HW30.jpgSony have thrown out some details today on their latest 3D projector, the relatively affordable VPL-HW30. We say relatively affordable as it’s still set to retail at under a pocket-pinching £2,000, but that’s a far sight cheaper than the £6,000 its predecessor cost.

So what does two grand bag you then?

A full HD 1080p projector, the VPL-HW30 features a High Frame Rate SXRD Panel that when coupled with Sony’s MotionFlow tech, should work well to reduce the amount of blur in fast moving images.

A 70,000:1 contrast ratio and a brightness of 1,300 ANSI Lumens should result in a deep, detailed picture too. Also, a 240Hz panel drive system will reduce the tricky problem of crosstalk in 3D images, while 2D to 3D conversion is also possible for what its worth, considering how poorly these conversion systems usually work.

However, to access the 3D features of the projector you’ll have to shell out for a pair of TDG-PJ1 active shutter specs or two, as well as a TMR-PJ1 transmitter, both sold separately.

Keep an out for the Sony VPL-HW30 projector at your local AV retailer from July.

  • The atmosphere was primed and all it needed was a trigger (southerly change coming in earlier than expected!) and plenty of moisture. James and Dann also chase today and should have some more info about this storm from the NW suburbs. It was great fun! plenty of development, some very heavy rain and strong winds as well as 1cm hail.
