Expert review by : Evan Powell (projectorcentral.com)
Sony has just begun to ship their newest entry level home theater projector, the BRAVIA VPL-AW15. The AW15 is a native 16:9, 720p resolution LCD projector that retails for the low price of $1,299. As such it is the least expensive home theater...

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,...

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...

The Sony Bravia VPLAW15 is a brand new release replacing the now discontinued VPLHS60. The unit itself boasts a true high definition resolution of WXGA 1280 X 720 and a 12,000:1 contrast ratio for the very strong blacks. It hasn't gone for the new...
All up it's a good unit for an alright buy price ($2300 AU) but the Sony warranty for Australia on home theatre projectors is 1 year (though there has been some confusion as the data projectors get 2 years) 3 stars is as much as this one can get.
