SXRD has enough differences from LCOS that it makes sense to call the technology what it is unless they did some kind of variant. You don't see companies giving their own spin on DLP or LCD.
Sigh. You misunderstood his point. SXRD is a Sony product. If a product says SXRD it is using a sony panel.
You also missed the line on Sony's page where it says "As a result, contrast ratio of the microdisplay panel alone, when measured with a conoscope* exceeds 4000:1. This is a reasonable figure as contrast directly off the panel will be high. For example, JVC's new HD100 has a contrast of 40,000:1 off the panel and 30:000:1 after the lens.

Well the actual micro-display technology is clearly licensed from Sony, otherwise they would never call it SXRD. More interesting will be pricing. LG is a up and coming player in this market but when it comes to displays they don't have Sony's brand recognition or ability to command a premium. Given the pricing of Sony's current PJs, (except for the VW200) I would say these might liven up the FP market if they provide competing technologies at lower prices or any kind of innovation in other aspects of implementation over the Sony competition.
Another player in the HT FP maket is always welcome in my book - hope they make life more interesting for us all.
Seems to me to be a big leap to say it's a VW60. Just the fact that it has a HQV means that it must be significantly different. (might not have 0.1pix convergence, etc). The lens would also be a big factor.
At least now we have a price - 3999 euros is cheaper than the VW60 (4999 Euro RRP I think which as everyone knows is vastly overpriced compared to the US/Japan prices and competitors).
It's certainly not as aesthetically pleasing as the sony.
It is based on the same model as LCOS but Sony has done some of their own things to it. The SXRD panels are not the same as the LCOS panels in JVC products. That is what I mean.
If they can give me VW-60 panels/performance + a Realta + lots more lumens for less than the price of a VW-60, then they can model the casing on my mother-in-law's head for all I care!
