Hi Lee,

I see you have the VPL-VW11HT. I've just upgraded from a VPL-VW12HT to one of the Sony SXRD's the Ruby, VPL-VW100.

The improvement in image is huge, it leaves the old 12HT in the dust, the VW80 will do the same and then some over your 11HT.

There isn't much of a comparison really, the SXRD units are simply an order of magnitude better for contrast, detail, sharpness, connectivity, noise.

Re: Sony VPL-VW80
I also replace my 11HT with this. It is way better in all areas. Only issue is some bright corners of black scene from time to time. Any other shade of grey is fine.
