The Sanyo PLV-Z2000 uses a Durable Inorganic Optical System (DIOS), which includes the projector's LCD panels and polarizing film. This highly advanced optical engine increases the overall reliability and performance of the PLV-Z2000 many times over traditional 3LCD projectors. Review - Overall Rating ( **** 4 out of four ) ".. I now pronounce me man and projector. I know, I know, I've said it before - SANYO projectors are great. Loyal Big Picture Big Sound readers will recall fondly my rave review of SANYO's PLV-Z5 LCD Home Theater Projector . It received our coveted four-star rating. Of course, the Z5's native resolution is 720p, so deep-down there was a voice saying, "Wait, just wait. There will be a SANYO 1080p projector soon." "..the answer is easy. The Z2000 rules.." -- http://www.bigpicturebigsound.com/sanyo-plv-z2000-1272.shtml
The PLV-Z2000 is outfitted with the industry's most advanced lens shifting function. When coupled with the projector's short throw capability and 2x zoom, the PLV-Z2000 can create a large screen image in any size room and from virtually any location. The lens shifting function allows wide-range shifting up or down to three screen sizes and left to right to two screen sizes. The throw design of the PLV-Z2000, is capable of projecting a 100-inch diagonal image from 10 to 20 feet away, which makes it extremely suitable for small to mid-size home theaters. Projectors generate a tremendous amount of heat and requires a high quality fan to protect them. At this level of brightness, the fan is 'on' most of the time and the noise can be extremely loud and disruptive, especially in smaller home theaters where the projector and the audience are in the same vicinity. To promote greater enjoyment of the film and to reduce noise levels during quiet passages of a film, the PLV-Z2000 is equipped with the industry's quietest fan, a large aperture, low noise Sirocco cooling fan that never rises above 19dB in the economy mode. Nios II embedded processor enables SANYO's home theater projector to deliver rich, deep, and accurate color resolution, great contrast, and a smooth film-like picture, as well as seven pre-set calibrations for various types of dark room and ambient light viewing. SANYO's PLV-Z2000 provides home theater enthusiasts a unique entertainment experience in a feature-rich full high-definition home projector. Contrast Ratio Wars! Epson TW2000 claims 50,000:1 Contrast ratio often leave out "up to" and don't make a big deal that the real contrast (native) is 4,000:1 so higher is in "Dynamic" mode which is not great for cinema! |more| (Too cartoon like) So go for the projector with the highest CLAIMED Contrast Ratio or get one with 64 times the number of colours that’s almost a grand cheaper, made in Japan and quieter. The Epson TW2000 is a great projector but how much $$$ more should you pay? 3LCD= No spinning colour wheel. Unlike a single chip DLP projector there is no high speed colour wheel to worry about |more|
Do you really need 1080 HD? That depends on how far back you intend to sit! If you're right on top of a TV then why not, but from say 5-6m back from a projected image the difference would not be great between a 720p (Still HD) and 1080p HD Max.. See for yourself the following 2 images simulate 720 & 1080 sitting at your PC it's easy to see the difference but try 3m back :)

SOLD OUT SEE NEW Z700 and Z3000 1080P HD models PLV Z2000 supports 24 frames per second. However while it can receive “inputs” (i.e. the source material) at 24fps, it does not “output” at 24fps – that is, it does not project the image on to the screen at this speed. The reason for this is that 24 fps (effectively 24Hz) would result in a very perceivable flicker in the image: even cinema projectors do not actually show the image at 24 fps, instead showing each frame twice so that the screen is actually refreshed at 48fps. The Z2000 will do a similar process to show the image at a faster refresh rate.
