help Sony VPL-HW15 FAQ
What image technology does the Sony VPL-HW15 use?
The VPL-HW15 uses Sony’s three-panel SXRD technology to produce Full HD home-theater images. SXRD was Sony’s reflective-panel alternative to conventional LCD and single-chip DLP designs.

Sony lists a projection range of roughly 40 to 300 inches diagonally, depending on placement and lens settings. Its Full HD resolution is most convincing when the screen size and viewing distance are appropriate for 1080p detail.
