...The Sony VPL CX21 is a bright, slim, and stylish projector designed for mobile applications. A friend of mine has this and we always watch movies on it. The projector has many features which I've written about below with brief explanation of each feature: - High Brightness of 2100 ANSI Lumens The projector has three Sony 0.63-inch LCD panels and a latest designed 165 W lamp, it has a brightness of 2100 ANSI lumens, which provides amazing image quality even in very high ambient-light.

If you’re worried about the lamp life, well apparently it lasts several thousand hours. For me that’s a good 2-3 years viewing on top of which the lamps cost about £250. That’s a lot cheaper than throwing your plasma away after 4 years when the sky sports red dot has burned into your screen, the projector suffers from no such drawbacks. The noise level of the VPL-HS20 is also... Read review
