Great projector

Strengths: 2 HDMI inputs 2 component inputs Multiple iris settings Nifty auto door open. Horizontal and vertical shift (amazing!) Easy menu navigation Bigger remote than Z4, but the light up button is helpful.

Weakness: Color needs to be properly set, as there are some settings that are off. Bump the gamma up too if you want to get closer to what plasma/LCD screens look like.

All around fantastic 1080p projector. Unbelievable for the money ($2100 after rebate). It's big, it's bulky, but the performance is unmatched by anything it its price range. Should you buy? Yes, if you want/need 1080p. Blu-ray and HD-DVD, plus Playstation and XBox 360 look amazing.

The Sanyo PLV-Z2000 has my recommendation

Strengths: Great price! (especially with rebate, at the time of writing) good image quality quiet! Automatically closing lens cover amazing warranty

Weakness: Odor (I believe it will go away with time) low lumens (see comments)

I have been saving up for a long time, and keeping my eye on which (1080p) projector I should get. For most of this year I had my eye set on getting the Optoma HD80.*Just* before i had enough saved up to get it, however, Sanyo just had to come out with the PLV-Z2000, and Panasonic with the PT-AE2000U. This made my decision hard. After a lot of contemplation, and swaying between each projector, I...

1080p paradise

Strengths: Colors out of the box. Lens shift. Silent fan. Price. 3 Yrs warranty.

Weakness: Low lumens. Strange odor. Blue ghosting, uneven temperature, unstable focus.

I had a trigger to buy a full 1080p PJ under $2k and finally PLV-Z2000 has arrived. Lens shift is an awesome feature if you want some flexibility in positioning. The fan is absolutely silent. It sits 2 feet behind me and I can't hear any noise. The only note of caution - the lumens are very low, so this PJ is for dedicated home theater only. The next unit to look at would be Panasonic AE2000U....

Wow! I didn't expect it to be this good.

Strengths: Easy setup and calibration. Amazing picture with 1080p sources.

Weakness: none found yet

I just upgraded from a Sony VPL-HS51. I was thinking of getting the Sony VPL-VW60 for a lot more money. Fortunately it doesn't have the horizontal shifting like the older Sony. I chose the Sanyo mainly for the Shifting capability and the good reviews it's been getting. And I am glad I did. The color is off a bit right out of the box. It took me about 5 hours to install it on a shelf off the...
