"I am big," insisted
Sunset Boulevard's faded silent movie star Norma Desmond at a time when
Milton Berle was luring millions of viewers to tiny TVs. "It's the
pictures that got small."
No such problem here. Once you've watched movies in high
definition on a 100-inch screen in your living room, retreating to a 50-inch
flat panel feels like a schlep back to the Berle era.
Sony’s latest hi-def video projector and the screen
surface Stewart Film-screen expressly designed to work with it can fill your
life with images once confined to movie palaces and Hollywood screening rooms:
big, immersive and viewed by reflected light. You may never go out to a theater
again.
Lesser projectors can give you some of this pleasure,
but this one delivers the cleanest, most detailed pictures you'll find at
anywhere near the price. About $4,000 less than its superb predecessor, it's
similarly bright and quiet. And when fed by sources like forthcoming Blu-ray
disc players, it should play hi-def movies with smoother motion than current
rivals. This combo needs a dark room to work its full magic. But blinds are
cheap. So think big. This duo will show you what high definition is all about.
