Sony VPL-HW65ES review

It might not be 4K, but this Sony projector is still a tempting proposition...

Sony VPL-HW65ES Projector Review

This latest Full HD projector from Sony offers increased lumens over the model it replaces, but is that enough to stay relevant?

The most impressive Full HD projector for under £3k

Very pleased with the bright sharp image this produces. Excellent motion handling and Reality Creation enhances the picture nicely if used sensibly. Black level is very good and shadow detail decent. The Sony gives a very natural and filmic image with...

excellent colours ; low input lag for gaming ; quiet fan in high lamp mode ; dynamic iris ; loads of picture adjustments ; backlit remote ; excellent motion handling

Excellent projector

Looks amazing and is bright enough to use in normal rooms without blackout. Picture is stunning out of the box. Also very quiet- PS4 is louder. Got excellent service from Josh and the team at Chelsea.
