Sony BRAVIA SXRD 1080p high-definition projector
Model: VPL-HW15
Description: With its compelling combination of picture quality, versatility and value, the Sony VPL-HW15 will make every movie night at your house an immersive experience. Videophiles will find plenty of adjustments for fine-tuning the picture, but the VPL-HW15 also performs beautifully straight out of the box.
Full 1920 x 1080-pixel resolution allows the VPL-HW15 to be paired with a 100-inch or larger screen and still deliver stunning image detail, depth and dimensionality. 1080p resolution also ensures that you won't miss any details in 1080i material, the most common high-def format for satellite, cable, and over-the-air broadcasts. (HDTV reception requires a separate HDTV tuner.)
The VPL-HW15 uses three SXRD image chips ? one each for red, green, and blue ? to produce extraordinarily rich, solid colors. The Real Color Processing color management system makes it easy to fine-tune specific colors and hues without affecting skin tones. Sony's Advanced Iris 3 system includes "Auto" modes that monitor the video signal and adjust the projector's light output on the fly, optimizing black level and contrast on a scene-by-scene basis.
With its standard-throw lens, the VPL-HW15 is a smart choice for medium- and larger-sized rooms. You can place it on a table, or ceiling-mount it with an optional bracket. The two "lens shift" dials let you adjust the image either horizontally or vertically, to allow for off-center projector placement. And the projector's 200-watt lamp delivers a crisp picture, even in rooms with some ambient light.
The VPL-HW15 has every type of video input you're likely to need, including two advanced HDMI connections. Sony calls these "24p True Cinema" capable ? they can accept the 1080p/24 output from a . Most movies are originally shot at 24p (24 frames per second), so this feature lets you see video in its most flawless form.
