Sony VPL-HW30ES

 Sony's VPL-HW30ES is a 3D projector targeted at homeowners for home theatre use. This model has a significant price drop from Sony's previous VPL-VW90ES. This projector is also about three times brighter than the previous model, with a dynamic contrast ratio of 70 thousand to one.

The refresh rate is 240Hz and uses a specialized drive system that reduces crosstalk during 3D viewing. There are independent 3D and 2D modes depending on content being watched, and there is also a 3D "upscaling" mode that emulates 3D on older media. This project runs relatively quietly, at about 22 decibels. This projector does require 3D glasses, and Sony recommends use with TDG-PJ1 models in conjunction with a TMR-PJ1 transmitter. Total brightness is 1300 lumens.
