Review Summary

JVC's DLA-HD350 improves even further on the remarkable black level of the DLA-HD1. Couple that with its extreme sharpness plus better brightness, and you end up with a projector that is a bargain of gargantuan proportions.

Although it certainly costs more than most of the 1080p competition, the SXRD-based Sony VPL-VW200 delivers one of the best pictures of any projector we've tested.

Mitsubishi's delivered a top-notch sub-S$6,000 HD projector with the HC6500. It's a noticeable improvement over its predecessors and a serious contender at this hotly contested 1080p projection price point.

Sony's VPL-HW10, the company's least expensive SXRD projector yet, proves itself a very good performer for the price, and therefore an excellent value.

The InFocus IN83 works beautifully out-of-the-box, delivering smooth, rich pictures. That said, it fails to sizzle, plagued by mild black crush despite a new DarkChip4 engine.
