Sony Launches a New SXRD 3D Projector
Fri Sep 02, 2011 at 12:00 PM ETTags: Sony, Projectors, SXRD, 3D Projectors (all tags)
The VPL-VW95ES is made specifically with 3D movie watching and gaming in mind.
Sony's new 3D projector is geared straight for the 3D crowd. Sure, it plays 2D content, but the real work went into making the 3D picture as crisp and clear as possible.
The new VPL-VW95ES follows up on the 90ES, which was Sony's first 3D home projector. The 95ES uses a new dynamic lamp control tech and utilizes a contrast enhancer to provide a crisper, brighter picture. It's also packed with Motionflow technology for a smoother picture.
If you do have 2D content that you want to watch, you can enjoy it in the two dimensions you're accustomed to or you can spice it up a bit with the 2D to 3D conversion tech baked in to the 95ES.
The VPL-VW95ES will be available in October at a yet to be named price. The projector will come with a single pair of 3D glasses.

Sony Announces a New 3D SXRD Projector
Mon Jun 20, 2011 at 12:00 PM ETTags: Sony, 3D Projectors, SXRD (all tags)
It's the first from Sony to be priced affordably at $3,700.
One of the very cool things of the ever advancing state of technology is that prices tend to go down very quickly. Last year, Sony put out a 3D capable SXRD projector at a price of around $10,000. This year's model will run you just $3,799.
The VPL-HW30ES offers support for the usual assortment of 3D formats and even gives you the option to make 3D video out of 2D content. It offers a contrast of 70,000:1 and an output of 1300 lumens. The new projector also includes video processing technologies from Sony, like Dark Frame Insertion and Mosquito Noise Reduction.
You won't get glasses with the VPL-HW30ES, but Sony has released the new TDG-PJ1 3D glasses to go with it. They're about 75 percent of the weight of Sony's other 3D glasses and they can handle up to 30 hours of viewing on a 30 minute charge.
The projector itself will be available for $3,699 in July. The glasses will run you $129 and the 3D transmitter required if you're going 3D is $79.
