Ratings

Build Quality 89 Average
• What's with the smell? • Still a great case design

Value 90 Good
• Still a good price • At the upper end of the lower-priced 1080p

Features 92 Good
• 96-hertz mode is cool • Lots of adjustments

Performance 93 Good
• Performs slightly better than the VPL-VW50 • Performance with both 480 and 1080 improved

Ergonomics 90 Good
• Better remote • Menus easier to navigate

Overall 91 Good
The VPL-VW60 was good enough to scare the competition up and down the market when everyone released new models. It's a solid, quiet, well performing projector that finds itself a bit lonely at its price point. Not a bad thing to be.
