You can click for larger images to compare the readability. VPL-VW40PanasonicSharp XV-Z20000PreviousNext Bottom line: This new VPL-VW40, definitely comes through as less than average in sharpness. Still, you’ve been looking at very close, close-ups. At normal seating distances the differences are far less. However, if you want the crispest looking image it won’t be the Sony. That said, filling a 110″ area of my screen, and sitting at 12 feet, the Sony looked just fine! 1.
