At the tail end of last year we took a look at Sanyo's PLV-Z700, which was then one of the cheapest Full HD projectors on the market. Just a few months on and the PLV-Z3000 has made its way onto our test bench, and with a nice fat price tag of just under £2,000 it's aimed squarely at the enthusiast market.
If it weren't for the dark-grey chassis, it would be almost impossible to tell the PLV-Z3000 apart from the PLV-Z700; quick-access controls are found on the top and the same automatic sliding lens cover adds a touch of class. Vertical and horizontal lens-shift wheels are found on the side, allowing you to sit the PLV-Z3000 at a slight angle to the wall you're projecting on without being burdened by image distortion.
Many of the other specs are the same as the PLV-Z700, including a brightness rating of 1,200 ANSI lumens and a Full HD native resolution of 1920 x 1080. The projector ships with an identical remote control, which comes complete with backlit keys, and you also get the same array of inputs: S-Video, composite, VGA, two component and two HDMI (HDCP-compatible, naturally).
