Sanyo PLV-Z700 3LCD Home Theater Video Projector


Sanyo PLV-Z700 Video Projector

Sanyo PLV-Z700 MSRP: $1,995

Overview

FULL HIGH-DEFINITION RESOLUTION – 1080p
Not only is it full HD (1920 x 1080), the PLV-Z700 achieves deep, rich, and very importantly, accurate color. This is automatically accomplished thanks to SANYO’s exclusive TopazReal HD Technology, a 3D color management system that addresses color phase and color level to obtain perfect color reproduction. The PLV-700’s color management system can generate a total of approximately 216 billion possible color combinations. This new color management system was designed to optimize the potential of deep color from either of the projector’s two HDMI inputs.

LENS MAXIMIZATION OF IMAGE DETAIL
Rated at 1200 lumens, the PLV-Z700 projector is capable of an incredible 10,000:1 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.

DVANCED LENS SHIFT FOR VARIOUS ROOM ENVIRONMENTS
Sanyo's PLV-Z7000 is outfitted with the industry’s most advanced lens shifting function. When coupled with the projector’s short throw capability and 2x zoom, the Sanyo PLV-700 projector 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-Z700 projector, 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 Sanyo PLV-Z700 projector 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.
