Sanyo PLV-Z700 Projector: Cons

Sanyo PLV-Z700 Projector: Typical Capabilities

• Lamp Life (assumed - since Sanyo provides no lamp life rating)
• Placement flexibility relative to most other 3LCD home projectors
• Price performance when compared with other new entry level 1080p projectors that are shipping so far this fall
• Manual - it provides some good descriptions of key and advanced features, but thin on other ones
• You'll want to use the user memory areas, instead of the preset modes, if you want to make any changes at all, since the Presets (Creative Cinema, etc.) reset brightness contrast, etc., everytime you enter them. Not a big deal, but important to know (there are 5 user memory slots - more than enough)
