Sony VPL-HW65ES Pro Reviews

Thanks to its dynamic iris, Sony’s 1080p projector beams bright images with great contrast and delivers performance so good that you may not care it’s not 4K.

The Sony VPL-HW65ES is an elegant home theater projector that succeeds by combining an array of effective processing features and attributes including the updated Reality Creation 2, Contrast Enhancer, Motionflow, very low digital noise, and the solid blacks and contrast from the SXRD engine. Though the processing features can be overdriven and exaggerated, when used in modest proportions there is a certain gestalt at work -- the ultimate 2D picture appears to be greater than the sum of its parts. It is extremely clean, stable, sharp, and natural--everything you want in a home theater picture. Video gamers will find the very quick 21 ms input lag to be extremely attractive. When it comes to 3D, it is serviceable for occasional 3D use, but the 3D picture does not measure up to the pristine elegance of the 2D image.
