I have a 12 year-old Sony VPL-VW100 projector.
Is there a way to improve picture quality?
Thanks.

Don't have answers to all, but what I know followsI think there's a lot of recommendations, but not enough questions going on.
What source are you feeding the projector? (Blu-ray, Streaming, DVD, PC, game console???)
How are you connecting that source to the projector? (HDMI?)
How large is your screen?
What type of screen are you using?
What is the color of your walls?
What is the color of your ceilings?
What is the color of your carpet?
Is there any ambient light in the room?
Do you have all the lights out completely?
How many hours are on the current lamp?
The Sony is over a 10 year old design and the use of a Xenon lamp really is going to impact quality. The lamps are extremely expensive and have relatively short lives. Kind of like buying a used Ferrari, you may have gotten a great deal, but oil changes will be several hundred bucks. A new lamp for this projector is nothing approaching 'cheap', and it likely needs one.
The original lumens weren't that high, but the image was very well regarded in a proper theater on the right sized screen. For the time it came out, it was excellent. But, that's well in the past now.
