Sanyo PLV-Z60: Shadow Detail Performance

Some of you may be wondering why I haven’t included any comparison images from the older Sanyo PLV-Z5. The explanation is simple, almost all our images for the last 18 months have been from Blu-ray disc. The Sanyo Z5, is actually a two year old projector, as Sanyo did not replace it last fall. As a result, simply stated, I haven’t had my hands on a Z5 for almost two years, and therefore none of the same images. Based on the specs, the new PLV-Z60 should have a modest advantage in shadow detail compared with its predecessor, the PLV-Z5! Click on the thumbnail for a larger, overexposed image. You’ll find this image in almost all projector reviews. You can easily make out details in all the dark areas – the shed on the right, the plants along the bottom, and also in the wood in the structure on the left.
