5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best values out there, January 20, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sanyo PLV Z60 - LCD projector - 1200 ANSI lumens - 1280 x 720 - widescreen (Electronics)
I have been using a Sony 1272 CRT projector for the last 8.5 years. It has served us well and we've been pleased with it. A few months ago it started having some deflection problems and, not knowing how to fix it myself or knowing anyone around who could fix it, I decided it was time to retire the old projector. Our theater room seating is about 12' - 14' away from the 92" 16:9 screen. We have decent but not great ambient light control. I read all the reviews I could find on the Sanyo and the only real knock anyone gave it was that it wasn't as bright as some other similar projectors. I considered a couple of 1080P projectors but given our distance from the screen and it's size, I felt confident that screen door effect wouldn't be an issue. This met my specs so I went ahead and ordered it. It's now a discontinued model so it's becoming more difficult to find but got a good deal here at Amazon.

So I've got it installed now. The best word I can use to describe it is WOW! This is a significant upgrade over what I had. The brightness issue is silly because, even if it's not as bright as some other projectors, it's still way brighter than my old projector. And the sharpness and color right out of the box were fantastic. It's great to see my Blu-Ray's truly shine now. The menu system is easy to use and I tweaked the settings a little based on one of the reviews at [...]. Looks even better now. I don't think I could be more pleased with my purchase. And I'm glad I saved the [...]+ I would've had to spend on a 1080P unit as the sharpness and resolution looks great at our seating distance on that screen size.

My recommendation is that if you can still find one for under $800, go for it. I doubt you'll be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent projector for its price class, September 10, 2009
This review is from: Sanyo PLV Z60 - LCD projector - 1200 ANSI lumens - 1280 x 720 - widescreen (Electronics)
I've owned the PLV-Z60 for 7 months (100+ hours of operation) now and find it to be a very good projector for smaller screens. I have a 72" screen and find the IQ to be very good. Note: If you want a screen of 90" or bigger then get a 1080P projector. Carlton Bale has an excellent web site that discussing this resolution/screen-size issue.

My unit has a slightly noisy fan even when using Cinema mode ................ hence the 4 star rating. It certainly isn't silent like other reviewers have stated. I'll probably run this projector for another year or two before switching to a 1080P projector.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sanyo PLV-Z60 Projector Review A+++ Projector, March 6, 2009
This review is from: Sanyo PLV Z60 - LCD projector - 1200 ANSI lumens - 1280 x 720 - widescreen (Electronics)
I have own this projector for about 2 weeks now PLV-Z60 Sanyo Projector. I purchased this projector purely off of others reviews and testimonies. I was looking into the Bravia Sony VPL-AW15. Which is a great projector for the price. But in my personal opinion doesn't even come close to the Sanyo. The quality, the speed, the picture in general is great. In fact it is better then my 50in plasma TV. I would recommend reading the operators manual. It helps out so much with setting it up and you find out options that you didn't even think were possible. This is a great Product!! Would recommend this for anyone wanting a home theater without spending a lot of money.
