![]() This makes the task of initial set-up easier and less time-consuming. ![]() On the step-up VPL-VW60, all of these features are electronic, which means you can size, focus and shift the picture while being right up at the screen. ![]() Zoom, Focus, and Lens shift (both vertical and horizontal) are now all manual at the projector. I would recommend they take the Reset key just to the right of the up arrow off of the next-generation unit, as it is a recipe for mistakenly resetting the projector.Īs I mentioned in the opening of the review, it would seem Sony has opted to pare down some of the features that are costly to manufacture, and to enhance picture quality and performance instead. The remote is also ergonomically designed, with the key functions all above the center of the unit, making thumb reach to the menu, four-way directional arrows, Wide Mode and picture adjustments easily achievable. While it has direct access keys to all the picture modes, as well as the brightness and contrast controls, it would be beneficial to custom installers if it had direct access keys to the inputs as well. I was pleased to find that it is fully backlit, making it easier to tweak in a dark home theater environment. The remote control is nearly identical to the VPL-VW60 from last year, and is well laid-out and designed. All of the connectivity, including the A/C power and the On/Off, Menu, Input and four-way arrow keys for menu navigation, are on the right side of the projector when floor-mounted and the left side if flipped upside-down for ceiling-mounted configurations. A sexy curvature with a rounded top and a lens centered on the chassis give it a sleek and symmetrical look. My review sample came in a black glossy finish I believe there are no other choices. The VPL-VW70 and VW200 are very similar in design to the HW10, but significantly larger and heavier. ![]() In fact, it is almost exactly the same size and weight as its bigger brother, the VPL-VW60. Measuring roughly 16 inches wide by seven inches high and 18 inches deep, while weighing just 22 pounds, the HW10 has a relatively small foot print. All of the VPL-HW10's larger siblings share the same basic look. The VPL-HW10 is the smallest of what I would call a family line in terms of design.
