Sanyo PLV-Z4000 1080p 3LCD home theater projectorOK, it's not a mostly shiny new projector. It's just an improvement of “last year's model” at a new lower price. Let's talk about price at this point. From an MSRP standpoint, there actually hasn't been a...
The PLVZ4000 has a 1080p resolution and can accept 24p sources, This 120Hz projector offers either a Smooth mode or a 5:5 pulldown mode for film sources, Multiple lamp modes allow you to tailor the projector's light output to suit your viewing environment, It has dual HDMI and component video inputs, as well as an RS232 port, Setup is easy, thanks to a 2x manual zoom and generous lensshifti
The setup menu only offers global RGB controls, as opposed to high and low settings, to adjust white balance, The PLVZ4000 lacks a 12volt trigger, The zoom, focus and lensshift controls are manual, not motorized.
The PLV-Z4000 has an MSRP of $2,495, but it is actually available for under $2,000 through legitimate outlets. That makes it an excellent value in the world of 1080p projection, yet it does not skimp on features to achieve that price point. This SANYO ...
Useful optical lens shift, appealing film-like image resolution, very quiet fan
Unrealistic colours, yellow tint, hardly improves on PLV-Z3000
A whole new model from Sanyo that really pushed the technology to a higher level would have been very welcome, but what we have here is simply another incarnation of a good projector. The price feels right for this high-spec full HD unit and it has a good...
Abstract: Regular readers may have spotted the review of Sanyo's PLV-Z800 entry-level LCD projector a couple of weeks ago. And if you read it, you'll know that we were rather startled to discover that despite boasting a completely new model number, following Sanyo'...
Easy to set-up and full HD spec, impressive, natural colour palette, decent detail
Motion could be smoother, some hints of noise
Robin Hood tests contrast levels well, and black levels are fairly solid and insightful. While there's not the punch and dynamism of the best in class, it's not far off.Blocks of colour show-up a smidgeon of noise, but we're more bothered when the Sanyo's...
Setting up a home cinema projector can be a tad daunting, but Sanyo has taken some of the pain out of the process by fitting the PLV-Z4000 with a 2x optical zoom and vertical and horizontal lens shift, giving you a fair amount of flexibility when it comes to placement (in other words it can be slightly offset rather than placed directly facing the wall). It’s no slouch on the performance front ei
It’s not all eye-strokingly gorgeous, mind you. The built-in upscaling tech isn’t the best, leaving standard def pictures a tad soft, and the motion processing system doesn’t deliver the judder-free smoothness of some rival projectors. The brightness, meanwhile, is fine if you’re always watching in a blacked out room, but lacks the power to deliver decent pictures when there’s ambient light about
While the Sanyo PLV-Z4000 is fine for those with a dedicated, blacked out home cinema room, more casual film fans may want to look elsewhere. Best offers for the Sanyo PLV-Z4000Projectorshop24 £1,688.00 Sanyo PLV-Z4000 is tagged with Sanyo and projecto...
Pluses, Very deep blacks, Reduced consumption on standby, Very wide lensshift, Electronic noise well handled, Quiet
Minuses, Upscaling could be better, System for improving fluidity of video not very effective, Not very bright in eco mode, Gamut too wide in the green area
Der Sanyo PLV-Z 4000 beeindruckt mit kontrastreichen, knackscharfen Bildern und guter Bewegungsschärfe. Allerdings liefert er entweder eher dunkle Bilder mit erweitertem Farbraum oder helle Bilder mit leicht abweichenden Farben. Die vielen Regler ermö...
