Hi,


information from that French Website :

http://www.hdlandblog.com/2012/07/sony-vpl-hw40es-presente-lifa-2012.html

http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=fr&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=fr&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hdlandblog.com%2F2012%2F07%2Fsony-vpl-hw40es-presente-lifa-2012.html

I think that the origine of this information can be found on www.cinetson.org but M. Cherel seems to forget to put the link to the origin of this news

 

[kraine]

 http://www.cinetson.org/phpBB3/projecteurs-f2/sony-vpl-hw50es-berlin-2012-3499-euros-t36045.html

And you better be careful with the price as it isn't official for the moment.

 

[berserk_sun]

Finally, I hope the source is solid.

Waiting for more details, and I hope it is worth to wait.

 

[SED <--- Rules]

The article says that the Sony hw40 will be the only new Sony projector to be unveiled at IFA, which most likely means that there will be no successor to the vw95es this cycle. JVC will take advantage of that I believe. We'll see soon.

 

[joerod]

I was told from an insider there would only be a 30 replacement and the 95 an 1000 will remain.

 

[jutang]

Interested to see what improvements the 40 will have over the 30. Given that their higher end models are now getting updated tells me 40's changes will be modest over the 30. It'll be good for my marriage since it'll prevent me from buying a new projector.

 

[Toe]

So it looks like manual lens still and I assume the same throw range as the 30?

 

[kraine]

Hey Joe I have the same info, only one new model this year.


I will be at Berlin for the IFA show like every year and I will report for AVS live from Germany.

 

[Gradius2]

I hope they will boost the lamp life!

Is there really a need to upgrade the 95 and 1000? Were there anything that needed to be improved with the 95?

Yes.


Completely artifact-free FI

Better blacklevel.


These I regard as the only areas where there is room for improvement.

As always thank you Kraine.

As the last of the triumvirate of recipients of Sony inside info, deliberately leaked by Sony knowing that we will blab it, we really know nothing more at this point other than that the replacement for the HW30AES will have an internal IR 3D emitter. I assume that there will still be a a way to connect an external emitter offered as an accessory for those who want or need to provide a direct beam to their glasses rather than bouncing off a screen. I think you can take that to the bank.

Hi,


from another French Website, his name would not be VPL HW40 but VPL HW50 :

http://www.cinemotion.biz/n-1-1240/Sony-VPL-HW50-bientot-devoile.htm

http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=fr&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=fr&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cinemotion.biz%2Fn-1-1240%2FSony-VPL-HW50-bientot-devoile.htm


TBC brightness, 1400 lumens and contrast : 100 000 :1

 

[AV Science Sales 4]

My guess is that the dynamic on off increase to 100,000 is based on a more aggressive DI setting option. but I don't know. I doubt one would notice much of change but if set up at close throw and running a high gamma, the increase could help prevent black crush.

sony vw1000es has been so well received lately. they hit many the sweet spots recently, giving the other brands a run. i think the hw50/40 will be another winner...if....


they have improved features against hw30es (wish list):


1. increased brightness ? 1500lm?

2. better transmitter...hopefully built-in or more powerful transmitter...

3. improved contrast 90k-120k:1 ??

4. maybe it will be a bonus if they add super scaling technology in it...

5. lens positioning??


....2 cents...
