It used to be Ruby, now there is a Pearl. If you have your sights set on an SXRD 1080p projector and are on a shoestring budget, this could just be your only alternative out there.

Sony VPL-VW50
Comments:
Two technologies have dominated the projector market in recent years: LCD and DLP, but there's a further pretender to the throne - Sony's SXRD technology. Thus far, the market hasn't been too affected due to the high-end nature of Sony's alternative.
Review Verdict: The Pearl certainly has some sparkle but £3,500 may be a bit much to shell out

Well, the VPL-VW50 goes even farther. It's a sleek, gorgeous looking projector that retails for $5K. You read that right. Sony' SXRD front pro line started at $30K, dropped to $10K in the second generation Ruby (which remains available) and is now just $5

Sony VPL-VW50 Front Projector: On the Bench
Comments:
Sony pretty much owned CEDIA 2006 as of day one when this projector was officially announced. Although the $5K price of this projector is a full 50% lower than Sony's previous SXRD PJ, the Ruby, it's a hot looking projector with an outstanding feature set
