Sanyo PLV-Z2000 3LCD Home Theater Video Projector


Sanyo PLV-Z2000 Video Projector

Sanyo PLV-Z2000 MSRP: $2,495

Overview

Full High-Definition resolution – 1080p

Offering a full 1920 x 1080 high-definition resolution, the PLV-Z2000 delivers rich, deep and accurate colors due to SANYO’s exclusive Topaz Real HD Technology, a 3D color management system that addresses changes in color phase and color level to obtain perfect color reproduction. The PLV-Z2000’s color management system provides 1110 times more color combinations than SANYO’s 720p PLV-Z5, a total of approximately 216 billion possible color combinations. This new color management system was designed to optimize the potential of deep color via the projector’s two HDMI 1.3 inputs.

Lens maximization of image detail

Rated at 1200 lumens, the PLV-Z2000 is capable of an incredible 15,000:1 contrast ratio for superlative black levels, even in ambient light. Plus it has a newly-developed, high efficiency lens that maximizes image details for exceptional optical performance.

New optical system for realiability and performance

The PLV-Z2000 uses a Durable Inorganic Optical System (D.I.O.S.). This highly advanced optical engine increases the overall reliability and performance of the PLV-Z2000 many times over traditional 3LCD projectors.

Advanced lens shift for various room environments

The PLV-Z2000 is outfitted with the industry’s most advanced lens shifting function. When coupled with the projector’s short throw capability and 2x zoom, the PLV-2000 can create a large screen image in any size room and from virtually any location. The lens shifting function allows wide-range shifting up or down to three screen sizes and left to right to two screen sizes. The throw design of the PLV-Z2000, which is capable of projecting a 100-inch diagonal image from 10 to 20 feet away, makes it extremely suitable for small to mid-size home theaters.

Virtually silent fan design

A 1200 lumen projector generates a tremendous amount of heat and requires a high quality fan to ensure proper operation. At this level of brightness, the fan is ‘on’ most of the time and the noise can be extremely loud and disruptive, especially in smaller home theaters where the projector and the audience are in the same vicinity. To promote greater enjoyment of the film and to reduce noise levels during quiet passages of a film, the PLV-Z2000 is equipped with the industry’s quietest fan, a large aperture, low noise Sirocco cooling fan that never rises above 19dB in the economy mode.
