Pros: It's a sony
Cons: It's not my design

This unit I am certain has the capability to play satellite and cable telvision. It can also play video games. However it would be a better machine if you could mount it in the ceiling without all the wires hanging down. The way this can be achieved if the HMDI and other outlets were housed in a remote similar toa laptop which would also make it easier to place CD/DVD in the unit to play. What you think?
This is it. The flagship of Sony's home theater lineup. 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 color temperature characteristics for natural and accurate color reproduction. Additional color features include RCP (Real Color Processing) and x.v.Color™ technology for further color 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.

- 35,000:1 contrast ratio achieved with Advanced Iris Auto ON 2. ANSI lumens is a measuring method of the American National Standards Institute IT7.228. Since there is no uniform method of measuring brightness, specifications will vary among manufacturers. 3. When used with supporting video sources such as select Sony camcorders. 4. BRAVIA Theatre Sync works with select Sony® HDTVs, front projectors, and home theater products. Check owners’ manuals for compatibility. 5. Anamorphic lens is not available from Sony®. 6. Pixel convergence to 1/10th inch is calculated as ±2.0 dot by 0.1 dot pitch. Depending on the adjustments made, the number of display pixels may decrease. Also, colors may become uneven or the resolution may change.
