Manufacturer's product description

Offering a generous 900 ANSI lumen brightness, the VPL-CX3 gets your message across bright and clear, even when you are presenting in daylight. Clear, brilliant images with a full brightness make sure that your presentations always deliver the right message. Even in daylight. Small, lightweight and smart design, VPL-CX3 is easy in use and quiet in operation. Better still, the VPL-CX3 is the first projector to make use of Sony Memory Stick technology. This enables stored presentations to be played by the machine and eliminates the need to take a laptop everywhere. Using the VPL-CX3 will enable you to do presentations without connecting to any PC. VPL-CX3 is light enough to carry anywhere. It's now easier to make bright and clear presentations any time, any place. The VPL-CX3 is not only easy to carry but set-up is complete within seconds. No complicated adjustments are required. And a new air discharge system keeps fan noise at a whisper, so your audience can concentrate on the presentation.

Nice compact and protable presentation projector
Review of Sony VPL CS2 by smurfedd

Advantages: Small and Portable
Disadvantages: Noisy Fans

...I've had my CS2 for 12months now and have not had a problem with it!! The connections on the back are easily accessible, and like most of them well labeled. The USB socket also doubles up as allowing the nipple like mouse on the remote control be a mouse on your PC! All in all, very good. Haven't had any problems, other than the fans being a bit noisy but the you get used to it over time anyway!! I would happily recommend it to anyone, and would buy another one if Sony still made them!! Sony really know how to do things properly and its always worthwhile spending that bit extra on a branded piece of equipment as it pays in the long run!!... Read review

Sony's Excellent Projector
Review of Sony VPL CX21 by Surj1

Advantages: High Brightness, 3LCD Projection System, AIAS (Advanced Intelligent Auto Setup), Short Focal Length
Disadvantages: Abit Noisy

...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. The projector has a resolution of XGA (1024 x 768), this simply means fine display of even the smallest details. - 3LCD Projection System This is what the Sony projector is all about, it has a 3LCD projection system which means the projected images are bright and natural and for this to be achieved it has 3 LCD panels. It provides high light transmission... Read review
