VPL-HW15 - Overall Color & Picture Quality

More to the point, the Sony really is excellent when it comes to the overall picture. It doesn't seem to have any particular weaknesses. Skin Tones, black level performance, shadow detail, are all at least very good. Adding to that, the image really does stand out - it's that "pop and wow factor" again. Yet, the Sony VPL-HW15 manages to have a dynamic looking image, without ending up a little contrasty looking, (such as the Epson 6500UB).

In other words, it's the complete package, when it comes to overall Picture Quality and Color. Oh, there are projectors that are better, in this regard, but I can't really think of any that cost less, and most cost anywhere from "more" to "a whole lot more", and then some.

Bottom Line for Overall Picture Quality and Color Handling: Excellent, especially for the money!
