Great 24p movie picture., Highly versatile (lens-shift and zoom)., Comprehensive video processing., Fair price.
Mediocre brightness., Low contrast., Slight motion-blur.
An excellent projector that’s easy to use and comes at an extremely fair price! The crisp HDTV picture impresses, and clever control technology compensates for the device’s limited contrast. In brief: A superb projector for smaller rooms and smaller...

Sanyo's entry-level projector packs quite a visual punch in terms of color reproduction, contrast and light output. What the PLV-Z700 won't do is put a hurt on your budget for its one of the least expensive, full-featured LCD projectors on the market...
The Sanyo PLV-Z700 is a phenomenal projector in many ways and one that most consumers would be happy to own, but there are a few issues that keep it from being mistaken for a reference-grade projector. For starters, the lack of digital keystone...
The Sanyo PLV-Z700 HDTV LCD projector is a benchmark product for consumers looking to get into the front-projection game on a budget. Packed with features and one of the most brilliant and colorful pictures you're going to find this side of $5,000, the...

John gets to grips with Sanyo's PLV-Z700 - a Full HD LCD projector for around £1,000.
Expert review by : What Hi-Fi? (whathifi.com)
If you're looking for a solid projector for around a grand then the Sanyo PLV-Z700 ticks all the right boxes
Fully specified 1080p projector ; simple set-up ; natural, insightful image ; supremely confident with dark and bright scenes
It's a bulky unit
Superb performance-per-pound value ensures this should be on any budget projector shortlist
