Sony VPL-AW15 BRAVIA LCD Video Projector

Until recently, Sony's popular LCD video projectors carried the Cineza brand name. Apart from the fact that I always wanted to say, "bless you" whenever someone said Cineza, it was perfectly fine name. But Sony has now extended the "BRAVIA" moniker,...

But even if you don't need to consider such alternatives, the VPL-AW15 is an outstanding buy and I highly recommend it. The only downside: A good screen might cost more than the projector!

The thoughts of an average consumer

First off: I'm a techie, but not a videophile. I know just enough about video to have an educated opinion, but many of the advanced topics lie beyond me. I bought this projector to upgrade my current living room video system to a high-definition...

Nice projector when it works

Not a bad projector for the money however 9 months into ownership and 700 hours on the bulb and it has stopped working. Sony says it needs a new bulb but a quick trip to avsforums shows that lots of people have the same problem and replacing the bulb...

just everything you need in a simple home theater

I'm using it with: usual DVD player, laptop, Wii. I didn't buy a screen, just use my pastel color wall, when dark it does its best. Haven't tried HDMI yet, but Video and especially component totally amaze me. When day it's not that bright of course....

My first projector, very nice and easy to use

This is my very first projector, so I'm going to be writing this with a little bit of excitement from the "WOW, this is so cool" Standpoint. First of all, it's very easy to setup right out of the box if your just setting it on a desk and not mounting...

Fantastic Projector!

I have this projector ceiling-mounted in my basement and it is AWESOME. HD television and HD video games are very clear from a mounting distance of about 12 feet on a 92" widescreen. Ambient light does not interfere with the picture as I have some...

review and comparison to popular DLP projector

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...

Product Specifications

Everything about the 'BRAVIA' AW-Series is designed to make it easy to choose and easy to use.The AW-10 projector supports Sony 24p True Cinema, enabling playback of films at the original cinematic 24 frames per second, completely eliminating the speed and soundtrack distortion present in conventional cinema-to-digital conversion.While this will please the Home Theater enthusiasts in the family, everybody will appreciate the exceptionally bright picture rated at up to 1300 lumens. Thanks to the extra brightness the 'BRAVIA' AW-Series copes much better with ambient light in the typical living room than traditional projectors, so there's no need for dark drapes and a lighting blackout to enjoy the fun.
