Sanyo PLV-Z3 review | from TechRadar's expert reviews of Projectors
The PLV-Z3 certainly has the looks to scare off a rival or two...1 is also extraordinary, leaving most LCD rivals for dead and even giving good DLP models a run for their money...Let's cut to the chase: can the PLV-Z3 save LCD's bacon...

Sanyo PLV-Z3 Review - Home Theater Projectors - CNET Reviews
Solid video processing with 2:3 pull-down; strong feature package with numerous setup options; excellent setup flexibility with both horizontal and vertical...Disappointing black-level performance; visible screen-door effect; HDMI input rolls off resolution....Oddly enough, resolution was far superior at the component-video inputs...This screen-door effect also adds an overall softness to the picture...All...

Review: Sanyo PLV-Z3
The Z3 incorporates a number of refinements over the Z2, including better contrast, deeper black levels, lower fan noise, a wider array of inputs, and a unique feature than enables users to clear dust particles from the LCD panels...Depending upon how it is calibrated the Z3 will output anywhere from 260 to 640 ANSI lumens...Sanyo has incorporated a lot of improvements into the...

"The bottom line is, check out other reviews on this projector..."

"CNET, and other technophiles, who have $5,000 to spend, might think it does not do a good job compared to the DLP HD projectors..."

"The only criticism I have is that it does not do a good job scaling regular tv into HD; and you are better off leaving boxes on the sides of a 4:3 signal..."

"1200 and a £200 screen; it was cheaper than a good LCD or plasma and its 4 times the size!!! Needs a good DVD player to get the best out of it though..."

Sanyo PLV-Z3 - reviews - Projectors - Home Theatre Projectors - Good Gear Guide
Sanyo's PLVZ3 LCD-based home theatre projector offers compelling features for the movie buff...The relatively low brightness rating demonstrates the PLVZ3 is designed for use in a darkened home theatre environment, as the lamp isn't powerful enough to overcome ambient light...The rear of the projector offers up HDMI, VGA, S-Video, composite and two sets of component inputs...This projector...

Sanyo PLV-Z3 : Video Projectors: Evolving Towards High Definition
The PLV-Z3 has the same functions that account for the success of the Sanyo line, plus new technologies such as TOPAZReal and 10-bit color...Based on a tri-LCD imager with a resolution of 1280x720, and sporting a brightness of 800 lumens and contrast ratio of 2000:1, the PLV-Z3 is one of the rare projectors capable of displaying HDTV signals in true 720p format...Sanyo...

Sanyo PLV-Z3 LCD Video Projector | Ultimateavmag.com
With its fold-down front panel and uninspiring plastic case, the Sanyo PLV-Z3 suggests nothing so much as a large (okay, very large) clock radio...Sanyo representatives informed me that the PLV-Z3 does include such an automatic or dynamic iris, and a Sanyo press release does refer to it...Still, at its best the PLV-Z3's blacks were...

Sanyo PLV-Z3 projector review | T3.com
Great picture quality Easy to set up Incredibly quiet...Not as bright as some competitors...This means it's ready to handle High Definition broadcasts from Sky's range of HDTV channels, which are pencilled in for launch in 2006...Sharper than a Savile Row suit made out of needles...The separate horizontal and vertical controls mean you can set the unit way off centre from the pictures you're projecting,...
