    Good Points: Good image quality, very quiet, great on HDMI input.


    Bad Points: Can appear a little dim against DLP projectors.


    General comments: This is my second Sanyo projector. I had a Z2 for a while but was frustrated with dust contamination problems on the panels. The Sanyo PLV-Z3 does not suffer from that; thank goodness. The Z3 has been superb. I preferred it over the cheaper end of the DLP projectors; its much quieter, and it doesn't suffer from the rainbow effect!

    When it comes to image quality, the Z3 has it nailed. This projector is a lot of fun to watch, and has kept the whole family entertained for hours. Films, concerts and any sport is wonderful. Watching a conventional sized TV afterwards is very humbling!

    DVD material is razor sharp and as cleanly scaled as it gets. Even standard definition broadcast television from my Sony DVD/HDD/Freeview machine is clean and very watchable. It has a native 1280x720 resolution, and does a beautiful job with both 1080i and 720p HDTV. It is capable of delivering a high contrast, rich, detailed image that will be breathtaking to your friends and neighbors, especially after they hear how little you paid for it. £1200 and a £200 screen; it was cheaper than a good LCD or plasma and its 4 times the size!!! Needs a good DVD player to get the best out of it though. As they say, garbage in, garbage out.

    The Z5 is out now and is apparently better again, and less than £1,000!! If you are in the market for a home cinema projector, don't hesitate........ buy one!
