Typical price: £2,300
What is it: 1080p projector using Sony's impressive SXRD technology
What we think: Although there's room for improvement in the colour department, the VW40 is yet another impressive advert for SXRD

We like:
Exceptional picture sharpness; impressively little video noise; great design; decent price
We don't like:
Colours can look washed out; the image isn't very bright
CNET UK judgement:
We had our doubts about whether Sony could really translate its undoubtedly impressive SXRD technology down to the sub-£2,500 level. Thankfully, all of the things that make SXRD special really are present on the entry-level VPL-VW40, even if there are one or two little imperfections in other areas
