The Sony HW50ES is one of the best projectors that we have got in this price range. It boasts of great looks, easy setup procedure and an absolutely low-maintenance design. To top it all, the picture quality that it provided is truly a delight, replete with true and rich colours, sharp images and highly resolute rendition. In addition to this, the projector also provides a number of ‘efficient’ tools to enhance the picture quality and, effectively, the viewing experience. We definitely recommend it.

Don't be put off by the little list of niggles we finished the main review with. For in reality all these issues do is explain why the Sony VPL-HW50ES is only £3,000 rather than £5,000 or more. Overall the HW50 is an absolutely outstanding effort that...

I mentioned a year ago, with the HW30ES that while I tend to find that I really like Sony projectors, I have yet to own one. I can start my summary of the VPL-HW50ES by saying that if I was shopping for a sub $5000 projector for my theater at this...

Sans conteste, ce VPL-HW50ES fait mieux que son prédécesseur. Sony a gardé la carcasse et les roues de son précédent bolide, mais a changé le moteur et modifié l'électronique. Résultat : des images HD très lumineuses et bien contrastées, en 2D comme...

Excellente surprise donc que ce VPL-HW50ES, il excelle tant en 2D et 3D et les quelques défauts constatés ne relèvent que du domaine de l'anecdotique et ne viennent pas perturber le plaisir visuel délivré. On touche ici du doigt la principale qualité...
