589134.jpg

1080p Full HD SXRD Home Cinema projector; Contrast ratio 60,000:1, Advanced Iris 3, BRAVIA ENGINE 2

Building on Sony’s highly successful model VPL-HW10, the BRAVIA VPL-HW15 brings Home Cinema to a new level of image quality for film lovers. Its attractive design, Full HD capability and affordable price make it ideal for a true in-home cinematic experience.

The brand new VPL-HW15 Full HD resolution is optimized thanks to the 3SXRD technology, where three 1920 x 1080 panels enable a consistent image quality across the entire screen. This technology also provides users with cinema-quality images by minimizing the space between pixels for smooth and dot-less pictures. The liquid crystal cell of the SXRD provides faster responses which enhance the crispness and vividness of images, even fast-moving images from video sources. With a contrast ratio of 60,000:1, Sony’s Advanced Iris 3™ can bring out the detail in darker sequences and prevent bright scenes from looking washed out. Sony’s Advanced Iris 3™ works like the human eye, responding dynamically to the level of light in each scene, and always selecting the optimum contrast.

The VPL-HW15’s BRAVIA ENGINE 2 technology, which stems from Sony’s experience in building televisions also incorporates full digital signal processing technology, to reproduce optimal, high resolution images from SD or HD signals. This further enhances the image quality, contrast ratio and noise reduction. The new VPL-HW15 is also equipped with the All Range Crisp Focus (ARC-F) lens which offers a 1.6x manual zoom and both vertical and horizontal adjustment with the Adjustable Lens Shift Function, simplifying projector set up and helping users achieve a good picture in a variety of environments. Users will also benefit from the Panel Alignment Function which corrects automatically any displaced panel at the projector’s heart, in case of manipulation. BRAVIA Sync simplifies and enhances the home theatre experience. Through the control capabilities of HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface), the different devices synchronise with one another for intuitive operations such as One Touch Play.

“The VPL-HW15 is the latest addition to the Sony BRAVIA SXRD Home Cinema Projector range and demonstrates our commitment to delivering HD-quality home cinema to the mass market,” said Takayuki Nakane, “Delivering this new projector at an affordable price point doesn’t mean we’ve compromised in quality.”
