The heavy-duty grey chassis of Sanyo's PLV-Z3000 LCD projector is ugly but clearly built to last. Instead of an easily-lost detachable lens cap, the PLV-Z3000's lens is hidden behind a sliding shutter, which opens automatically when the projector is sw...

Nothing beats a projectors picture for sheer wow factor. Sanyos PLV-Z3000 may be briefcase-sized, but it can project 300in, full HD images. Deep inside the lightbox are three Epson-made 0.74in liquid crystal panels. As a budget full HD projector, we...

Theres no doubt that the PLV-Z3000 is a serious piece of kit. Whether youre watching the big match or settling down to a high definition Blu-ray movie, itll knock your socks off with a bright, clear and highly-detailed projection. However, its pric...

While Sanyo's TVs tend to be associated with the cheap price/average performance end of the market, its projectors are generally regarded as being some of the best in the business. Though that's not to say they're ridiculously expensive. On the contrary...

Exit the PLV-Z2000 and enter the PLV-Z3000, Sanyo’s new Full HD projector. This model will be a valuable addition to Sanyo’s top range of projectors and is a more expensive alternative to the PLV-Z700 also Full HD.Handling, ergonomicsLike its predecess...

Powerful zoom and lensshift, Black levels, Very quiet in eco mode, Low energy consumption, Manages video sound very well.

DVD upscaling not as good as it could be, HD image precision is not as good as some of the competition, Takes up a lot of space, Not 3D compatible...

The Sanyo PLV-Z3000 will likely stand out to most users for improved contrast over previous models and its relatively low price. The contrast ratio is 65,000:1, which is impressive, but the first thing you may notice is the quiet fan system, eliminatin...

When one thinks of quality home theater projectors, few brands come to mind. Sony, JVC and Panasonic are some that do. Sanyo, on the other hand, may not be on one's short list. However, they've been making high-quality, affordable home theater projecto...

For under $3,000 retail, the PLV-Z3000 from Sanyo is nothing short of a tremendous value in today's front-projector market. While I question the value of the 120Hz technology, overall, the PLV-Z3000 is a remarkably capable budget projector that provide...

Sanyo finally broke the 1080p barrier last year with the PLV-Z2000, and now there are three HT projectors in the line for 2009: The affordable PLV-Z60, the mid-range PLV-Z700, and the top-of-the-line PLV-Z3000.

The Sanyo Z3000 is significant in that it is the first home theater projector to offer 5:5 pulldown, and one of the few thus far to offer an on-board frame interpolation capability. Its precalibrated color modes need a little work out of the box, but...

Very interesting! The PLV-Z3000 projector, since it is overall similar to other Sanyo home theater projectors, going back several years, in terms of general look and operation, carries through on much of what we have written about before. I had a n...

I must admit that I am not as impressed with the PLV-Z3000 projector as I had hoped. Still, when all is considered, including its status as the lowest priced of the ultra high contrast projectors reviewed so far, it is an excellent value.A better final ca...
