Comparing the Projectors Picture Quality

Black level performance

I had described the PLV-Z700's black levels by saying I was "slightly disappointed, not bad, mind you". By comparison, the Mitsubishi did slightly better, but not significantly so. I described the HC5500 as "a touch better than the Sanyo" and "typical of this group".

I did not have these two projectors in-house at the same time, therefore no side-by-side photos.

Below are two pairs of images. In both cases, the Sanyo PLV-Z700 image is first. While observing the first pair, the Starship image from The Fifth Element, note that the Sanyo image is overall a bit brighter.
