Sanyo PLV-Z700

Sanyo recently announced a new full-HD home projector that’s undoubtedly the one we’d pick up if we were in the market for one. Here’s what makes the PLV-Z700 so great:

  • 1080p support
  • displays up to 100-inch screen at either 3m or 6.1m away
  • electronic lens-protecting shutter
  • virtually silent (21dB) operation
  • wide-area lens shifting (up to +/- 100% vertical, +/- 50% horizontal)
  • Inputs: HDMI(x2), Component(x2), S-Video, Composite, RGB
  • 1,200 ANSI lumens

In other words, it’s got everything you’d really want and nothing that you don’t. That includes its price tag, which might seem steep at $1,995 from B&H but is actually very reasonable full-HD projector.
