Sharp's SharpVision XV-Z2000 projector home theatre projector is a serious piece of kit, boasting multiple inputs, outstanding image quality and extre...
Excellent image quality, 16:9 native, quiet operation
One year warranty
A short-ish warranty is really the only negative point for what it is an outstanding home theatre projector.

Sharp XV-Z2000
Relatively inexpensive; HDTV resolution using HD2+ chipset; independent memory per input; extremely bright; electronic zoom and focus.
No 2:3 pull-down in the video processing; so-so color decoding; video noise in darker areas; no 1080i via DVI input.
Sharp's XV-Z2000 budget HDTV DLP projector leaves a little bit to be desired in overall performance, but the price can't be beat.

Once the XV-Z2000 arrived at my studio, it didn't take long to figure out why the price was so low. The XV-Z2000 has "simple" written all over it. This is really a bare-bones DLP projector, one with which you should use video signals that have already...

The SharpVision XV-Z2000, the younger sibling of the Z12000, makes the performance of Texas Instruments' HD2+ DLP chip affordable for the average consumer. It is one of the least expensive of the HD2+ projectors, delivering excellent value at its...

Finding a 720p projector at this price these days is really impressive. Sharp is known for making some excellent projectors at a variety of price points, so we were really excited to get in the XV-Z2000 in for review...
