Features:
24p True Cinema - Many films are shot at 24 images per second. Because of the limitations of conventional televisions, the sequence of the 24 images gets altered to display the content on the TV, which results in an unnatural jerky motion. With 24p True Cinema, the 24 images are displayed in the same sequence as the original film source.
Advanced Iris2 Function - This function reproduces bright images in bright scenes and deep blacks in dark scenes by dynamically changing the opening according to the level of input signals. Along with the High Contrast Plate, an awesome contrast ratio of up to 12,000 - 1 can now be achieved.
Native Resolution - 720p / Contrast Ratio - Up to 12,000 - 1 (with Advanced Iris Auto ON) / Display Resolution - 1280 x 720
Multiple Language Display - 15 languages (including English, French, Spanish, German, Chinese)
Product DescriptionDriven by advanced features like 3LCD technology and 1080/24p True Cinema (1080p requires 1080p source), the VPL-AW15 HD projector makes images look more lifelike than ever. And a screen size of up to 200'(diagonal) presents you with the most theater-like atmosphere possible. Sit back and enjoy the bright scenes that the Advanced Iris2 Function delivers. Even more impressive is an achieved 12,000:1 contrast ratio, which produces deeper, more robust dark colors and vibrant and clear bright colors. Capable of being mounted on a table or the ceiling, this projector can transform almost any room into a cinema.

This projector is excellent. The picture is very crisp. Its great for watching Blu- rays. Its not one of the newest models out there but it has great quality for the price.
Rating: - Looks like watching film!
This is my first projector, so my only comparison is to an older Panasonic projector at a friends house, and a Mits HC1500 that I compared at a store. Let me bring up a couple of things. I have the projector in a room with full light control (no windows), and in this application brightness doesn't matter as much as contrast, and this projector has great contrast. Also, this projector doesn't get enough credit for doing a great job at upconverting 480p DVD video. The Sony interpolation algorithms ... Read More
Rating: - comparison of sony bravia VPL AW line to mitsubishi hc 1500
NOTE: THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE SONY VPL-AW10 (NOT 15) BUT IT'S BASICALLY THE SAME MODEL (THIS 15 MODEL HAS SOME EXTRA FEATURES NOT MENTIONED BELOW). IN ANY CASE, ALL THE COMPARISONS BELOW ARE STILL VALID.
I originally purchased the Mitsubishi HC1500 DLP projector, but had some problems with it. Ordered this one from amazon and put them side by side. This isn't a review so much as a comparison between 3 Chip LCD and SINGLE CHIP DLP (which tend to be in the same price range). I actually liked ... Read More

actually it' s very bright. with 100" screen it can operate at Low lamp with... lights on at night, or daylight during day.
For 200" screen it may need High lamp setting, though not necessary I guess. Contrast is impossible to be good with lights on in the room but it is doing pretty well. Actually contrast improves with less brightness.
It needs a lot of tweeking with the picture controls though to get good contrast, brightness, & natural color sbut it can be done.
Rating: - Best Picture for the Money
This was my first projector purchase. PURCHASE PROJECTORS BASED ON CONTRAST, NOT LUMENS! This is the 1st thing projector central will tell you. Few more notes here which may save you some time & money....
See it before you buy::: My local Best Buy had this projector in stock and in the demo room. They had 3 projectors hanging; Sony [this one], Mitsubishi HD1500, and an Optoma. The sales person claimed that the Mitsubishi had the best picture until I asked about the contrast ratio, and ... Read More
