| Personal Experience |
| had this one sine november 2003 with about 400 eco hrs so far. using it on 80" da-lite high contrast grey screen with component video from panasonic s35 mostly for movies. make sure you use progressive, component source. the difference from standard RCA video is very visible (check the credits at the end of any movie to see). i use it just a notch off-focus to battle the screen-door effect and looks nicer than my friends panasonic 300 - the colors on the sanyo are especially beautiful (the pani does not have the shade detail, looks as if they are using just the 216 web-safe colors). the lens shift is nice to have. no dvi, but the difference between component and dvi at this resolution is not noticeable in my opinion. not related, but worth mentioning - buy a good home theater with a solid sub - makes a big difference for movies. i highly recommend plv-z1 for low price home theater. |

| Problems |
| no problems till now. stay away from the exhaust or wear protection - ceiling mount is good to have. menu is a bit awkward (e.g. hold the up arrow for 30 sec to see the lamp hrs). design could be more appealing, but in the dark - who cares. |
