Highlights
From Sanyo — The Sanyo PLC-XU78 provides XGA resolution along with a bright 3000 ANSI Lumens. This allows for great presentations even in bright rooms. The projector is easy to set-up and compensates for keystone picture distortion. With many input terminals, you can easily connect to many computer and video sources. The D-sub terminal can be switched to a monitor out as well. The Sanyo PLC-XU78 was also marketed as the EIKI LC-XB33. Sanyo is now part of the Panasonic Group and officially discontinued its production and sales of projectors in 2012.

ANSI LUMENS is the most commonly accepted industry standard brightness measurement. The ANSI lumen rating measures the brightest white that a projector can produce by averaging nine light meter measurements taken across the projected image.
