Sanyo PLV-Z700 review

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

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...
