Review: Sony VPL-AW15 Home Theater Projector

Home Theater: Sony VPL-AW15 BRAVIA LCD Video Projector

Sony VPL-AW15 Bravia Home Theater Projector - Overview

i hope you are looking for projector for home theater experience and not office use .
 
here's some of da summary/conclusion of the reviews on the projector ..

SOURCES :above review sites :D
*

The VPL- AW15 will give you a big, crisp, reasonably bright image for less than the cost of a good rear projection set, even with a screen. But you'll need to watch it in a darkened room to really see how well it captures the real movie theater experience in a way that no rear projector or flat panel at anywhere near the cost can.

*

if you are considering screen sizes between 82" diagonal and 100" diagonal, the Sony is worth considering, if you are more of the "purist", concerned first and foremost with having a natural looking image.

Out of the box color is very good, but is easily improved, to excellent, with minor adjustments. Noise levels are very quiet, another plus, especially in the smaller rooms where smaller screens are more likely to be found. And, equally important, where you are more likely to be sitting closer to the projector than in larger rooms.

Sony VPL-AW15 Pros

* Very natural and pleasing image, with excellent color balance

* Very good black levels

* Very good shadow detail

* Good range on zoom lens (but not as good as a couple of others) with a 1.6:1 zoom ratio

* Excellent lens shift - both vertical and horizontal, with a maximum range of 65% of screen height (up or down)

* Good remote control

* Excellent menus

* Extremely good color management

* Very quiet

* Sharp image - not the sharpest, but better than average

Sony VPL-AW15 Cons

* Very "not bright" projector, which limits it to smaller screens and rooms with excellent lighting control

* To change lamp, must remove from ceiling mount (assuming you have ceiling mounted it - of course)

* Pixel visibility (typical of 720p LCD projectors, but no match for the DLP competitors)

* No 12 volt screen trigger

* Only one HDMI input

Sony VPL-AW15 Typical Capabilities

* User manual

* Lamp life (assumed - Sony does not publish lamp life specs)

* 2 year warranty

* Styling

* Ease of use

* Inputs (one HDMI, one computer...)

* Price Performance

after reading the reviews it looks like a nice projector screen ...and it costs only 1300 $(~49-50k) in the US ..

India is so freaking expensive in these luxury electronic items :@ :@

by the way i wanted to ask all da HD video and LCD gurus here ....if the picture quality of these projectors as good as the plasmas and LCDS and can they be considered as an alternative for big screen HD viewing ..instead of LCD /plasma screens ??

in short are they good enough ??

 
well , its for OFFICE use , but even then it will do i guess, thanks for all the workout dude, appreciated.....any opinions before i confirm ?

A good projector can beat a LCD/plasma easily but for two hitches

a) A projector is ideally setup in a dedicated video room

Even a high luminosity projector would look pale in a brightly lit room (true for most living rooms), esp if you want the picture size to be bigger and thus will need to setup te projector some distance away from the screen

b) the very limited life of the projector bulb and its high replacement cost mean there is a cost involved with every hour of watching..now you would hate to be in a situation where you have to think 2ce before switching it on
