Pros: 1080p?offers a sharp, smooth picture.?Currently the cheapest 1080p projector on the market. from Shopping.com This projector is probably one of the single best purchases I have ever made. I had to mud and paint a wall with flat white paint in my entertainment room to project the screen on but the effort was worth it. Now I play Fallout 3 and watch movies on a 13 foot screen in full 1080 high definition. I have it connected to a gaming PC via a DVI to HDMI cable and I play all my favorite games. from Amazon.com I absolutely love this projector. I first bought one that was advertised as 1080p "compatible" and boy was I let down. I didn't realize that didn't mean it would project that image, only that it would RECEIVE that strong of a signal and then project at it's own native resolution. from Amazon.com I replaced a Sanyo Z2 that had an LCD issue. The picture on this unit is incredible with virtually no adjustments - right out of the box. from Amazon.com Wonderful. Set up is as easy as plugging it in. The HD picture looks great, even against a white wall when projected from about 10'. Still looks decent when moderate room lights are on. from Amazon.com i have compared it to one other projector; and mine is noticibly sharper image... but then i paid 3 times as much as he did. i would recommend it but only if u really want to pay 1600 for a really really great item, when many people would be very happy with a cheaper item, i demanded 1080p and i got it for a price... from Amazon.com What on earth is a PLV-1080HD?? If you are looking for a Sanyo PLV-Z700, the 1080HD is the exact same thing with one big difference; a REDUCED WARRANTY. from Amazon.com We had been holding off buying a home theater projector since technology was improving and prices were coming down. I revisited the market this fall, doing some extensive research both online and at the local stores. I came across this Sanyo 1080p projector that seemed promising in its initial reviews -- and certainly was an attractive price point at $1,599. We have a large living room (29' by 16') that we intended to maintain as a multi-purpose living room/home theater. from Amazon.com Brightness is also an issue if your room is not pitch black. Overall, it generates a good picture when playing Blueray DVD with bright scenes but any dark content, especially standard definition DVD movies will look as good as a $700 SD projector. Another thing that bothered me is that for some reason, perhaps for seperation from the official PLV-Z700 model (which is identical), the front panel is black. The Sanyo PLV-Z700 and the PLV-Z2000 were beutifuly desgined with an all-white enclosure that merged very nice with the ceiling when mounted but this model that is exculisvily sold by Amazon and Best Buy has a black front which makes it intrusive to the room. from Amazon.com a) Great value for money. This is the first sub $2k 1080p projector I found. b) Simple to setup. from Amazon.com
