VW200 in Action
Next up was Sony's flagship, the VPL-VW200 being demoed in Sony's theater.
The VW200 uses a 400W Xenon bulb vs. the 200W UHP lamp in the VW60, resulting in better color gamut but not necessarily greater light output.
The VW200 also adds an Ethernet port which Sony told us can be used for remote configuration/administration of the projector. The VW200 appears to have a built in webserver that will allow an installer to access via its IP address and access all the functionality of the unit, similar to what is currently capable over RS232.
Sony did demonstrate the benefit of the VW200's 120Hz Motionflow technology, which was honestly quite impressive. The problem with all of these 120Hz demos however is that they use canned content designed to really showcase the benefit of 120Hz and never seem to have any real world content capable of showing the true extent of the viewing benefit. The improvement is there, the question is how significant it is in real world viewing situations.

Excellent Cedia coverage - especially pictures. For projectors, I suggest you ask what device created the content and what content playback device is connected to the projector and how. For instance, is the image 1080p hd dvd, bd, up converted sd dvd, etc. Thanks for the coverage....MGSsancho - Thursday, September 6, 2007 - link
most of the time they use a 1080P source. if you are showing off a $5000- $9000 projector, you will do everything in your power to make it sexy
