Sanyo PLV-Z800 Connections review:
Sanyo PLV Z800 vs. Epson EH TW3500
It's a no contest!
- Epson is made in China, Sanyo is made in Japan
- Sanyo has a 3 year warranty including the lamp (Aussie stock only)
- Epson 6 months lamp & 2 years on the projector |link|
- Sanyo makes a lot less fan noise, it's super quiet
- Sanyo has a Dust Door to protect the projector when not in use
- 12 Bit processing vs 10 Bit processing
- Price
The Epson TW1000 & TW3500 are very good projectors, it's LCD which we love (as opposed to DLP) but if you could buy something just as good or better, with a way better warranty and at a lower price wouldn't you consider it?
* 19dB is the same as the Z3000 so we think it would be wise marketing to up it a bit. Many have see the Z800 21dB brochures. We have documents stating it's really the same as the Z3000, the Z800 uses the same fan and has the same lamp wattage..
- VIRTUALLY SILENT FAN DESIGN
".. A 1200 lumen projector generates a tremendous amount of heat and
requires a high quality fan to ensure proper operation. 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-Z800 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.."

Review at Trusted Reviews UK "..Setting the Z700 up really couldn't be easier. For starters it's got all the connections you could reasonably expect for its money, including twin HDMIs, two component video inputs, and a PC port. ... Even better, though, is the superb amount of optical image shift available. Simple wheels down the lens's right hand side enable you to shunt the picture up or down by as much as three full screen sizes, or left and right over as much as two screen sizes. This means you don't have to place the projector directly in line with the centre of your screen, making it much more accommodating of weird shaped rooms than your average budget projector. As if all this wasn't enough, the Z700 also offers a x2 optical zoom, which enables it to adapt itself to an unusual variety of room sizes as well as shapes. ... The only time things start to get a little complicated - but mostly in a good way - is when you start delving into the Z700's on-screen menus. For these contain a really remarkably long list of features for such a cheapo projector. ... Particularly unexpected is the presence of a startlingly sophisticated colour management system. This actually allows you to manually choose a colour tone from the picture you're watching using a movable ‘target' cursor, and alter that tone's colour phase, level and gamma elements via a simple menu list of alternative tones stretching out to either side of the original settings. Even JVC's recently reviewed £3,500 HD350 didn't manage to deliver colour management as sophisticated as this! ... "..while it lacks the colour finesse to deliver quite as much texture subtlety as some slightly more expensive projectors, for its money the amount of detail and noiseless clarity evident in shots like the one where our soon-to-be-ashes 30 Days hero stares across a bright frozen landscape is actually very impressive.." ... Other unexpected discoveries include five thematic image presets (of which we'd recommend the Brilliant and Creative Cinema options), five memory slots where you can store your own calibrated presets, manual gamma adjustment, unusually flexible lamp control should you want to sacrifice some brightness for better black levels/quieter fan noise, adjustable transient improvement, adjustable contrast improvement, an auto black stretch facility, three manual iris adjustments, a remarkably expansive and subtle iris range adjustment, and even the facility to customise the gamma settings. Phew. ... Verdict "..I like Sanyo's thinking with the PLV-Z700. For the world definitely needs a £1,000 or so Full HD LCD projector as a cheap alternative option for anyone who can't live with the rainbow effect produced by InFocus's aggressively price X10 and IN80 DLP models.."
