Sony VPL w400 with PC

A super projector which still produces an absolutely first-class picture today. Connected to the PC (Key Digital VGA -YUV converter) and with the appropriate modification in the device, the old Sony conjures up a very quiet, without visible pixels (Delta sends its regards!!!), sharp!!!, colorful picture. The video electronics are absolutely first class (many of today‘s projectors can‘t keep up), so the Sony produces a picture with brilliant depth gradation - almost 3D!!!
One disadvantage - it‘s a bit noisy:-((( although my model has been modified a bit so that it runs a bit more quietly...
Conclusion - it will stay with us and can continue to throw wonderful pictures onto the screen with DVDs...

Greetings

Projector Sony vpl W400Q

Simply a great device. I‘ve had it for 6 years now. No pixel dropouts (as with new devices!), Delta Pixel!!!. The only disadvantage: black level could be better, lamp lasts a long time with daily viewing of 2h, works great with 1080i software!
