Sanyo PLV-Z3000 LCD Projector Review

While Sanyo’s TVs tend to be associated with the cheap price/average performance end of the market, its projectors are generally regarded as being some of the best in the business.

Though that’s not to say they’re ridiculously expensive. On the contrary, the brand’s new high-contrast, Full HD offering, the PLV-Z3000, is available for less than £2,000. That makes it a cool £200 cheaper than the impressive Panasonic PT-AE3000 I tested recently, and with which the Z3000 seems to have at least a few things in common when it comes to specifications.

Before we get into these specifications, though, I’m afraid I have to report that the Z3000 is just about the drabbest projector I’ve ever seen. Its strikingly large body shows all the design flair of a breeze block, as a plasticky dark grey finish wraps around a style-free rectangular body to depressing effect. It’s basically the AV projector equivalent of a dank rainy day in Stockport – hardly what you want in your living or cinema room!
