Sony VPL-HW10 SXRD projector peeks from behind the curtain

Sony's family of projectors just grew by one, with the 1080p VPL-HW10 combining triple-panel SXRD technology, the new BRAVIA Engine 2 eight step image processing, 1000 ANSI lumens, 30,000:1 contrast ratio and x.v.Color support. Dual HDMI inputs, HDMI-CEC control tech, 24p True Cinema, Real Color Processing and quiet 22dB operation ensure a top of the line home theater experience -- for something (no MSRP or shipping details here) less than the reigning king of the hill VPL-VW200 and another as-yet-unrevealed higher-end model. So Sony, guess we'll be seeing you at CEDIA next week?

This was first mentioned on the Internet back in late February. I 'think' the MRSP is $3499.99, but they are shipping as someone also has a box shot on the Internet.

Tempting, but I'm still waiting for an LED driven DLP projector that I can afford.

I'm surprised Sony hasn't given up on the dynamic iris yet. JVC has obviously perfected superwide contrast ratios without a dynamic iris, so why is Sony still using it?

Triple panel SXRD projector and it's only $3499?

How is it so cheap?
