Not only does this projector offer improved contrast over last year's popular Z2000, but the big news is that it is the first home theater projector under $10,000 to offer 5:5 pulldown.
Sony VPL-HW10

The HW10 is easily the finest projector from Sony we've yet seen. It has excellent contrast, open midtones, a sharp picture, and good placement flexibility.
Mitsubishi HC6500

High lumen output and great shadow detail make the HC6500 a good performer with HD film and video, while quiet exhaust and a 5,000 hour lamp life make it a pleasure to use.
Panasonic AE3000U

The AE3000 is one of those new benchmark-setting achievements that will cause the industry to rethink pricing on 1080p projectors.

Contrast performance is superb. With great color and near-silent operation, the HC7000 is by far the best projector we've seen from Mitsubishi to date.

The W20000 offers most of the performance of higher-end models without the bank-breaking price tag.  
BenQ W5000

This 1080p single-chip DLP projector delivers an extremely sharp, high contrast image, though it has a greater amount of digital noise than other, similar projectors on the market.
Epson Pro 1080UB
Review: Evan Powell: Jan 18, 2008
2008 Editor's Choice
 Specs    $3,799

The 1080 UB is a beautiful projector once calibrated. The overall package is fairly priced, and a highly competitive value proposition.  
JVC DLA-RS2
Review: Evan Powell: Dec 11, 2007
2007 Editor's Choice
 Specs    $6,143

JVC has achieved an ideal balance between image sharpness and a natural, lifelike quality. The RS2 clearly surpasses the older RS1 in contrast, black level, and color saturation.
Sanyo Z2000
Review: Evan Powell: Oct 29, 2007
2007 Highly Rated
 Specs    $2,117  
Get a Quote
Sanyo's first 1080p projector issues a challenge to the projector industry. With one of the lowest prices in the class and a 3-year warranty, the Z2000 is easily one of the best around.  
Mitsubishi HC6000
Review: Evan Powell: Sep 28, 2007
2007 Highly Rated
 Specs    $1,699

Despite the modest looking improvements in the specifications, the HC6000 is clearly a better projector than the HC5000, which itself was an outstanding product.

The 720 is a killer projector. It gives solid performance in all areas with extra emphasis on rock-solid contrast and black levels. The picture quality is outstanding for the money.
