Sony VPL CX20 Reviews & Tests

Sony VPL CX20 projector

Sony's VPL CX20 is geared towards showing off in the boardroom, but does that mean a lack of substance over style? We have a closer look.

Stylish design, good picture quality, easy set up and turn off

Very noisy, tad expensive

The VPL CX20 certainly delivers what it promises and has the style to match, however the noisy fan will be an issue if you are expecting to run this in a fairly light room without being drowned out.

Sony VPL-CX20A

The Sony VPL-CX20A is a comfortable traveling companion, with a sleek physical design and welcome conveniences like remote-controlled zoom, tilt, and autofocus.

Reasonably light weight (4.2 pounds). Easy setup with remote-control of autofocus, zoom, and tilt. Sleek physical design. Two brightness levels. Includes carrying case.

Controls on the projector are hard to see and use. Audio is adequate for only a small room. No remote mouse control.

If you need a portable projector, though, these minor issues are outweighed by the Sony VPL-CX20A's convenience features like autofocus and remote tilt that make set up easy, and its light weight.
