Our review on the Sanyo PLV-Z800 Projector

Until the end of September we are offering a reduction in price of £149 off on the Sanyo PLV-Z800, there is very limited stock available.

The direct replacement for the hugely popular Z700

Built-in Full HD panel, 1920 x 1080. Enjoy high quality and high resolution from the latest sources, such as Blu-ray and HD digital broadcasting. Bring cinema-like style to home with large-screen projection.

Powering on the unit - a nice touch is the motorised lens cover which slides open to reveal the lens and slides closed when you turn the projector off keeping unwanted dust particles at bay.

For a projector of this price - the Z800 truly punches above its weight - bringing up the menu settings on the projector provides access to extensive list of user adjustments which cannot be match by other 1080p projectors in and around this price point.

Zoom lens and Lens Shift
Like the 7 previous Z series models, the Sanyo Z800 uses the long 2.0x zoom lens. Again like its predecessors, this unit has a full three picture heights of vertical Lens Shift, and two full picture widths of horizontal shift. That means you can install the Z800 pretty much anywhere you want. The Z800 has the longest zoom range/lens shift than any other 1080 projector.

The new variable iris on the Z800 can control lens iris adjustment every 1/60th of a second.Designed to permit fast acting lens adjustment, and adjusts to the optimal level automatically.Rapid adjusting lens means more dynamic, deep and rich black color reproduction.Iris noise has been reduced so that quiet or silent scenes are better enjoyed.
Great for watching sports games/matches or movies.

For us, the Z800 is our projector of choice in this price range of the 1080p arena.
