Sony brings 1080p BRAVIA VPL-VW80 SXRD projector to Europe

While we were just able to take a look at Sony's BRAVIA VPL-VW70 SXRD at CEDIA, it appears that the company is showing Europe a little love with the awfully similar VPL-VW80. The Full HD beamer includes High Frame Rate SXRD panels, a 100Hz Motionflow Dark Frame Insertion system, the BRAVIA ENGINE 2 processing tech and a 2.5-millisecond response time. You'll also find a 60,000:1 contrast ratio, Advanced Iris 2, electronic panel alignment, two HDMI connectors and a 1.6x motorized zoom lens. Unfortunately, there's no mention of a price and / or release date, but we'll go way out on a limb here and suggest you start saving up immediately.

Very nice, I have been wanting one of those VPL-VW projectors to replace my aging SP4805. My budget is around $3500, but I'm guessing thos will be a tad more than that. Gotta start saving up :)

When I first saw this, I couldn't help thinking that it looked like a super-deformed version of the original XBox! 8)
