The projector uses full 1920 x 1080P HD threechip LCD in this firstgeneration light engine
A very quiet fan makes the projector almost sonically invisible
Abstract: The Z2000 is one of Sanyo’s best projectors. But competition is tough in this sector — Full HD projectors are by no means rare these days, and some are now even available for less than 1,000 GBP. The Sanyo’s biggest selling points are its living-room-friendly optics and..
The projector uses full 1920 x 1080P HD threechip LCD in this firstgeneration light engine, A very quiet fan makes the projector almost sonically invisible, producing only 19.2 db SPL, Reasonable black level and contrast ratio, with a minimum of contrastrelated distortions, are sometimes found in irisbased projectors, A threeyear warrantee comes as standard, which is very rare in these days
Color primaries are a bit off, with both red and green being more deeply saturated than they are supposed to be, Once everything is connected to all inputs, there is very little room to maneuver, The contrast ratio is nowhere near 15,000:1; it's closer to 3,000:1, according to my inhome measurements. Note: embellishing contrast ratios has become a highlevel game of statistical trickery that h
How do you know when you're enjoying a movie or television program? When you're not fiddling with the projector or remote control. With the Sanyo PLV-Z2000, you can just take it out of the box, hook up your sources, and off you go to the movies. It is ...
Abstract: Front projectors have been the gold standard in home theater for many years. But until recently, front projection meant a CRT-unit the size of a coffee table mounted to the ceiling. It only looked good if you turned your room into a bat-cave, was very...
Leave it Sanyo to come up with a novel way to ensure that a projector’s lens cap can never be accidentally lost. Perhaps taking its cue from late 1960’s muscle car design (the 1967 Camaro SS comes to mind), its PLV-Z2000 features a motorized s...
Abstract: Recently, Sanyo gave us the opportunity to use and review one of their home theater projectors, the FUll HD LCD LP-Z2000 (overseas known as the PLV-2000). This projector was originally launched last year, and while we might be a little late in getting ...
Abstract: The latest projector to go under the GamingNexus staff’s watchful eye is the Sanyo PLV-Z2000 1080p LCD projo. In what can only be described as a “throwback” design, the PLV-Z2000 is a brute of a projector that has the look of a pure professional grade ...
Abstract: “Can a projector that costs about the same price as a large-screen plasma or LCD set deliver a superior, as well as, larger picture? I suppose that’s the first of quite a few questions posed in this review, and possibly answered. I guess I was spoiled ...
Abstract: Right now is not a great time to be an LCD projector. Your arch-rival DLP technology has finally joined you in offering affordable full HD solutions, and you're suddenly also up against supremely talented competition from not one but two new projection fo...
Good Value, Easy placement with H/V Lens shift and 2:1 zoom lens, Whisper Quiet, No Light Spill into room
Not very bright, Poor Documentation (Mounting screw size unavailable), Black levels could be improved, Cosmetics of exterior case not fitting snugly together
Going into this review I wasnt sure what type of image to expect from a "budget" 1080p projector. While the image produced is quite acceptable, there are a few shortcomings that I found. Most notable was light output that wasnt quite as bri...
