This is it. The flagship of Sony's home theatre line-up. This projector combines the advanced features and technology associated with the legendary QUALIA 004 and the sleek form factor made popular by the VPL-VW100 projector.

Three newly developed high frame rate (120fps) SXRD 1080P chips work together with Sony's Motionflow technology and black frame insertion modes for smoother, more detailed pictures in fast motion video. The Panel Alignment function allows the precise alignment of R/G/B images with zone specific adjustment to deliver a sharper, crisper picture. An exclusive Carl Zeiss multi-element glass lens optimizes SXRD chip performance.

The Anamorphic Zoom Mode works with an optional external anamorphic lens to allow 2.35:1 aspect ratio viewing. A high output Xenon cinematic lamp maintains ideal colour temperature characteristics for natural and accurate colour reproduction. Additional colour features include RCP (Real Colour Processing) and x.v.Color technology for further colour refinement.

The significantly improved native contrast characteristics of the three SXRD chips are dynamically enhanced by the Advanced Auto Iris 2 function for up to a 35,000:1 contrast ratio. Add 24p True Cinema connectivity, RS-232C capability and two HDMI inputs and the VPL-VW200 is destined to be the ultimate choice among videophiles everywhere.
