Very exciting!
A little birdy told me it is a model at the bodem end of the range, a new entry level projector, the HW40
Expected specifications against the HW55 are: no Reality Creation, no Frame interpolation, lower contrast and a price of €2199 which is about $3000
The actual specs are not known though.

Problem with 55ES
I have a problem with the Sony VPL-55ES. The HDMI image on the screen it is split in 2 parts : full image +1/3 of the image in the bottom part of the screen
Can you help me ?

Ekki, thanks for the details. I'm not sure how people will react to removing the adaptive iris but it's good that they kept the lumen output the same.

I guess whatever feature combo you want there is a sony projector that fits.

Until we get a hands on review it look identical to the 55es less an iris, 3D glasses and some missing calibration capabilities.
All for under an estimated under $2,500!
Throw a Lumagen Mini on this and you'd have a killer setup for roughly the same cost as the 55es

No dynamic iris... Who's going to buy this?
People who don't like dynamic iris perhaps.

Wouldn't those people gravitate to the Epson LCD projectors which have better contrast ratios (with the dynamic iris off) at a similar price?

It will be in accordance to European Price if it's really the case.
Edit : I just checked it, you're right. So this topic is in the wrong section of this forum.

Did you read the cine4home piece on it?
I did and don't see who Sony is going to sell it to unless they're going for the uninformed Sony shopper.
