Because it is so highly anticipated, there has been a lot of buzz around the Sony VPL-VW50 Pearl for its low cost and high performance. The VPL-VW50’s official Japanese page was posted and we were able to translate some more details about the projector. Amongst other things, one of the more important details we’ve found out is the wide range of inputs offered in the projector, including two HDMI, an analog RGB input, component and composite RCA inputs, and an S-Video input. We also know the intended price for the projector: roughly $6300 USD. Also inexpensive are the replacement lamps, with the LMP-H200 costing $349 USD. The VPL-VW50 will definitely put the Mitsubishi HC5000 on its guard now, as both are very comparable. However, the Pearl won’t be available until October 20th, 2006 at the earliest.
