Sony’s VPL-VW70 is at the top position of their current home cinema projector line. Stylish grace, the midnight black, curved panels on the upper and lower sections of the unit are glossy, slick and frame the unit perfectly. The position of the cooling fans is indiscernible and a motorized lens cover that effortlessly slides open when the power is turned on.

Feature of VPL-VW70 Projector

Especially good color accuracy
Overall excellent picture quality
Extremely good black levels, (when engaging the dynamic iris) but not the best
Dark scenes show some compression of dynamic range, meaning a bit less “pop and wow”
Audible noise is a bit less than average, compared to the competition
One of the least bright projectors in its price range, in both “best” and “brightest” modes
Good placement flexibility

Sony VPL-VW70 Special Features

SXRD (LCoS) Panels

Sony uses Liquid Crystal on Silicon(LCoS), a reflective panel, as opposed to the translucent typical LCD panels. Sony calls their LCoS implementation SXRD.

Advantages of LCoS

Pixel visibility, and screen door effect are effectively, non-issues with this Sony, visible at normal seating distances with a 1080p projector.
The Sony and JVC LCoS projectors outperform almost all of the non- LCoS competition, in black level performance.

Iris Modes

Sony offers two modes for its dynamic iris i.e Auto 1 and Auto 2. Auto 2 allows the iris to close down for slightly blacker blacks but the dynamic range of scenes are mostly dark but have some bright areas. And if you choose Off, instead of Auto 1 or Auto 2, you can manually adjust the iris to dim the image with a slight improvement in contrast.

Panel Adjustment

The Sony allows separate adjustment of G, R and B panels, for better alignment. This can be a real plus if one of the color panels is a little off, compared to the others.

So, we predict that to cater to business users especially who have to travel frequently such as sales staff or consultants, Sony has especially designed VPL-VW70 Projectors.
