As a projector, the Sony VPL VW70 combines SXRD technology with a resolution of HDTV 1920 x 1080, and is additionally specified with 800 ANSI lumens and a contrast of 60000:1. In operating mode, the installed projector lamp offers a lifespan of 3000 hours. The specifications indicate lens shift optics, allowing the image to be physically shifted without digital image artifacts. The Lens Shift Calculator is available for room planning. A look at the light output reveals: The 800 ANSI lumens are sufficient to illuminate an image width of up to 287 cm in darkened rooms. If room light is present, we recommend not exceeding a maximum width of 191 cm. For media input, video signals up to 1080P are supported. In the specifications, the operating noise is listed at a mere 20 decibels, indicating very quiet cooling. Since entering the market in 2008, production has been discontinued; the manufacturer no longer actively offers the model.
