Sanyo PLV-Z2000

Accurate color decoding ; independent memory per input ; comprehensive connectivity ; includes both horizontal and vertical lens shift

Primary and secondary color accuracy is way off, particularly red and green

While Sanyo's PLV-Z2000 1080p projector does have some performance shortcomings, it's nonetheless a very good value.

Sanyo's LCD-based PLV-Z2000, is an extremely well-priced, 1080p resolution projector that delivers reasonably good performance for the dollar. Design The Sanyo PLV-Z2000's outward appearance belies the fact that little or no effort or money was...

UltimateAVmag.com: Sanyo PLV-Z2000 1080p LCD Projector

By David Vaughn

It is a great time to be a home theater enthusiast. Sure, the format war between rivals HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc has been distracting. But the price of 1080p projectors has fallen from the stratosphere to price levels many can actually afford. Prices ...

? 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, ? Cosmetic's of exterior case not fitting snugly together

Going into this review I wasn't 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 wasn't quite as bright as I ...

Sanyo PLV-Z2000 projector and remote

By Joe Lozito

SANYO has finally done it: a 1080p home theater projector with beautiful picture quality at a reasonable price. The one we've been waiting for has arrived.

Let's face it; I love the SANYO PLV-Z series projectors and the Z2000 has done nothing to change that opinion. I still have a PLV-Z2, and I've coveted the Z5 since our original review. But the Z2000 is really the one I've been waiting for. When fed ...

Sanyo PLV-Z2000 Review

By Evan Powell

Sanyo's first 1080p projector issues a challenge to the projector industry. With one of the lowest prices in the class and a 3-year warranty, the Z2000 is easily one of the best around.

The Sanyo Z2000 is a tough new competitor that establishes the latest benchmark in 1080p price/performance. It offers excellent image quality, a host of features, and very few flaws, all for an industry-leading rock bottom price. If you have been ...

Sanyo PLV Z2000

By Staff writers

A fine projector: well worth considering, especially if you hunt down a competitive price

Set-up is easy, thanks to simple thumbwheel controls for horizontal and vertical lens shift, and the Sanyo's backlit remote is every bit as approachable as the on-screen menus

Sanyo PLV-Z2000

By Campbell Simpson

GREAT picture quality is only slightly hampered by a small overall screen size and low brightness levels.

Unobtrusive styling, low noise, good image

Low brightness, small maximum screen size

The PLV-Z2000 is a projector that offers great picture quality, which is only slightly hampered by a small overall screen size and low brightness.

The PLV-Z2000 is suitable for a variety of situations. Like its rival from Mitsubishi, the PLV-Z2000 is all but inaudible in its economy mode, and can only be heard from close-up when operating normally. However, unless you're in a well-sealed...
