When resident film and projector guru Joe Lozito reviewed Sanyo's first 1080p consumer home theater projector, the PLV-Z2000, he liked it so much he bought one.  And now you can get it for cheaper than he did (much cheaper) as B&H is selling the projector for an amazingly low $1595 after 2 $300 mail-in rebates.  Offer expires May 31, 2008.

We've dealt with Sanyo before on mail-in rebates, and they definitely come through with the check in about 6-8 weeks, none of the shenigans played by  cell phone providers who promise rebates and never deliver.   And since B&H is an authorized Sanyo dealer, you get the full 3-year warranty (on everything but the bulb).
