New BRAVIA 3LCD projectors shipping in June]]>http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/still-want-720p-new-bravia-3lcd-projectors-shipping-in-june/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/still-want-720p-new-bravia-3lcd-projectors-shipping-in-june/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/still-want-720p-new-bravia-3lcd-projectors-shipping-in-june/#commentsSony keeps the BRAVIA train rolling today, announcing pricing and availability for not one but two new 3LCD projectors. The 720p VPL-AW10 and VPL-AW15 projectors both feature the same 165-watt 1,100 lumen lamp, 1.6x zoom lens and 20dB fan noise. The VPL-AW10 uses Advanced Iris technology to provide a 6,000:1 contrast ratio, while the VPL-AW15 improves to 12,000:1 "dynamic" contrast ratio with its Advanced Iris 2 technology, and increased installation options due to its lens shift. Both will accept 1080p/24 sources and downscale to 720p. Sure its not the 1,920x1,080 number that impresses the neighbors like their big brothers Ruby and Pearl, but these two will cost only $1,300 (VPL-AW15) and $1,000 (VPL-AW10) when they ship in June. We're sure home theater builders on a budget will find a way to love these two, even if they don't have that magic 1080p number.

In a fairly decent attempt to cram as many product releases and news briefs into the waning days of February, Sony is still firing at will with swank home entertainment must-haves, the latest of which is a 1,280 x 720p front projector. Toting the ever-expanding Bravia logo, the 3LCD VPL-AW15 is meant for those who envision their HD in a bigger light than mere rear-projection sets can muster, and while Sony's being overly greedy about the nitty gritty we all desire, we do know a bit about its specifications. You'll find a brightness of 1,100 lumens, a whopping 12,000:1 contrast ratio, Advanced Iris 2 technology, and a presumably mid-range (albeit unconfirmed) pricetag. Sadly, that's about all Sony's leaking right now, but we do know that the firm is slapping the Bravia tag on in place of the now-axed Cineza label, making us wonder what's really left to get the Bravia touch.
