Full HD 1080p with 3 SXRD™ 1920 x 1080 Panels

Three SXRD 1920 x 1080p micro-display panels support Full HD 1080p resolution for an impressive combination of vivid color, film-like image quality, and high-definition brilliance. Enjoy cinematic-quality images.

Advanced Iris 3

The Advanced Iris 3 function provides up to a 60,000:1 contrast ratio by optimizing both dark and bright scenes to produce deep black levels with stunning details.

Deep Color

By combining a 10-bit processor with 10-bit SXRD™ panels, the VPL-HW15 can create and display 64 times the level of color expression of 8-bit projectors, resulting in smoother color gradations and helping to avoid a “paint-by-numbers” look.

Panel Alignment function

A Panel Alignment function enables pixel alignment to within 1/10th of a pixel, making it possible to shift the entire picture to adjust for color gaps and produce a brighter, clearer, and more detailed picture.

Ultra Low Fan Noise 22dB

Exclusive Sony-designed fan delivers efficient cooling and whisper-quiet operation (22dB).

RS-232C connectivity

RS-232C connectivity enables operation of the projector using a home theater automation controller.

Functional Cosmetic Design for Home Theater

The VPL-HW15 features a sophisticated yet functional design, with a dark exterior that coordinates well with home theater environments.

BRAVIA Engine™ 2

BRAVIA Engine 2 fully digital video processor uses a collection of unique Sony® algorithms to significantly reduce noise, enhance overall image detail, and optimize contrast so every scene produces sharp, vibrant, life-like images.

x.v.Color™

x.v.Color technology takes HD color expression to new levels. When connected to x.v.Color capable video sources, such as select Sony® camcorders, the VPL-HW15 can display nearly twice as many (1.8x) viewable colors as the existing RGB color standard, resulting in more natural, life-like images.

Noise reduction functions

The VPL-HW15 features noise reduction functions that analyze scenes in real time to identify various types of noise and reduce unwanted artifacts, such as mosquito noise and block noise, without compromising the video signal.

Adjustable Lens Shift

Adjustable Lens Shift provides vertical and horizontal adjustments of the picture position expanding the projector's placement and installation options without distorting image quality.

Various Analog Inputs

RCP (Real Color Processing) function
