Having problems setting up your CRT projector? Watch a pro do a setup from start to finish on this CRT Projector Setup Guide!

Looking for the ultimate in performance? Add a high end HDMI input card specially made for the Sony chassis!

This was Sony's flagship set (prior to the G90 being released) introduced in 1995. Razor sharp performance with full 9” liquid coupled tubes with EM focus, 110 Khz scan rate, 1000 lumens, 21 point digital convergence.  The basic image was very similar to the 12XX series, but the larger tubes and EM focus made for a razor sharp picture.

Very large and heavy beasts, they're known for being one of the noisiest projectors out there so consider a hushbox or louder speakers. :)
