What's not so great:?The price is a little steep for what you can find elsewhere on-line. "Installation in a new-construction environment is pretty easy. My setup used a 110" Widescreen FireHawk G3 screen from Stewart Filmscreen, a Sony BDP-S200 Blu-Ray Single-disc Player, a Nintendo Wii with Wireless Sensor, and a Denon 3808ci A/V receiver. Only 1 HDMI cable was needed from the Receiver to the Projector due to the upconversion of the Receiver. from Bestbuy.com What's not so great:?I can't think of any. "This is the best projector out there for the price. Don't waste your money on the $15,000 sony. You won't be able to tell the difference in picture. from Bestbuy.com When the install guys finished the work they stuck around for like an hour later popping in one Blu-Ray title after another because the picture was just so amazing for being so big. I used a 110 inch Screen Innovations Reference screen with the new Denon 3808CI receiver to power the speakers and the Samsung 1400 Blu-Ray player provided the source. The Sony is very, very quiet also. The installer had to double check that the unit was indeed on. from Crutchfield.com This projector truely is astounding. The image quality is fantastic! I attatched my VW60 to my Sony Vaio via an HDMI cable. I watch BluRay movies in full HD with absolutely no problems at all. from Amazon.com Replaced my Sony HS20 with this unit. The HS20 in it's time was voted by some pundits as the best unit in it's price bracket. from Amazon.com As a new owner of a Black Pearl I would like to share my own impressions of the Black Pearl. We previously owned a VPL-VW50 Pearl. Sadly we had a lot of problems, it was a 4 1/2 month nightmare but SONY FINALLY offered to replace it with a VPL-VW60 Black Pearl. from Amazon.com Spiderman, Pirates 3, and Happy feet looked perfect. I can't stress enough that you need to recalibrate this projector to get a good picture. Sony should do a better job on giving you an accurate picture out of the box, but they just don't. Lastly, the projector is almost perfectly silent. from Amazon.com I replaced my 57" rear projection TV with this projector, and a 135" 16x9 screen with 0.8 gain. The image quality is amazing, movies are incredible on this projector. As a data projector, the image resolution doesn't go as high using the VGA port, but component can reach 1080i and HDMI can reach full 1080p at 60Hz. Light control is important, but not as important with other projectors I've played with. from Amazon.com what's great about it:?good simple setup, picture is crystal clear and the color resolution/contrast are top-shelf. from Bestbuy.com i have an upconvert dvd and direct tv hooked up to it with an hdmi cable and it looks beautiful. from Bestbuy.com
