Sony VPL-VW60 Projector Warranty

Posted on December 10, 2007 By Art Feierman

Sony’s 2 year warranty is about typical in the industry. There are plenty of two year parts and labor warranties out there

Among the popular competition, the Sanyo Z2000 offers 3 years, the Epson Home Cinema series has 2 years, with an overnight replacement program for both years. Mitsubishi offers two years on the HC6000, and Optoma offers two years on their HD80. In addition, JVC offers 2 years on their DLA-RS1 and RS2, Optoma provides three years on the HD81 and HD81-LV, and BenQ provides 1 year on their W9000 and 3 years with a 1st year replacement on their flagship W10000.

Is two years enough? If the Sony VW60 is truly the right projector for you, it’s likely a long term keeper, in that case, two years seems short especially considering that third party extended warranties are very inexpensive.

If, on the other you are part hobbiest and will be craving the usual trade-up every 2-3 years (in the quest for perfection, and something new to play with), then an extended warranty makes less sense.
