ive owned it for about 2-3 weeks now. ive got it about 10 feet from the wall and the image size is over 80 inches. the image is perfect, it looks like a plasma screeen covering my entire wall. every friend i have shown it off to has been thoroughly impressed. and so have i.
cons: its an over the top item, when they sell decent projectors for under 1000, yet this beauty is 1600. 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...

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.
I had to call Sanyo to figure this out. All the specs are the same as the Z700, except that the 1080HD has a black faceplate instead of grey. The Sanyo rep told me that Amazon wanted their own model number for marketing purposes, so they rebadged the Z700 as the 1080HD exclusively for Amazon. Only one difference I could find: the Z700 has a 3 year warranty and the 1080HD has a 2 year warranty. Bummer! I didn't find this out until I received the 1080HD. Amazon doesn't exactly brag about the reduced warranty. It would have been a hassle sending it back, so I just kept it.
On the upside, Amazon sells the 1080HD for $1600. Everyone else sells the Z700 for $1800 with a $200 rebate to bring it down to $1600. If you hate rebates like I hate rebates, it's nice to not have to deal with it. As long as my 1080HD ... Read More

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. The room has one wall that has floor to ceiling glass with vertical blinds, which allows us to darken the room during daylight but certainly not to pure theater levels. For our situation our local retailers were promoting projectors that would cost $5,000 -- to be coupled with sound system, screen and installation that would push the cost to $10,000 or more. After researching the options, we bit the bullet and ordered this Sanyo 1080p projector from Amazon -- figuring it was cheap enough now that if it turned out to ... Read More

I got mine today and hooked it up. Easy to setup, 5 stars there. The menu on the remote is a bit funky, not much though. It just needs a couple extra minutes to adjust to it. After that, it's easy sailing.
Picture Quality, contrast etc?
I don't have a TV in the room so I really have no point of reference other than what I understand to be a good picture based on the couple of plasmas and lcd's I have upstairs. The picture is decent. I projected it onto a light yellow wall and the image was as good as my LCD. Projected onto a screen, this is a very good image. It wasn't cristal clear because I was running Oceans 12 at 480P, still very clear. 5 stars there.
I have 20 pot lights downstairs, with half of them on (see my uploaded pic with Halo 3 http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/B001GCUIK8/ref=cm_ciu_pdp_images_all) the picture is still clear - not sure what the fuss is about poor image quality there. To me, the movie was easy to take in with ... Read More

I bought this projector as soon as it came out. Was dissapointed as soon as I powerd it up. Contrast levels are poor, color accuracy, even after calibration is so so, the menues are designed in a way that makes it very complicated to tune the picture. 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. An unfortunate decision.
Bottom line - If you can ... Read More
