Sanyo PLV-Z4 (PLVZ4)Sanyo's 3-chip LCD projectors have been a favorite here on Big Picture Big Sound for some time. Movie editor Joe Lozito uses a PLV-Z2 in his own reference home theater, and the PLV-Z3 was also a favored recommendation in its day. Sanyo's latest projector, the PLV-Z4 is their best yet, and it's now available on Amazon's marketplace (from TigerDirect) for $1599.99. That's a full $1400 below MSRP and currently $200 below the nearest competition.

NOTE: This deal is no longer valid, but B&H has the PLV-Z4 for a much better deal below ($999 with free mount and screen):

° Sanyo PLV-Z4 with bonus Mustang ceiling mount and 92-inch screen - $999.99

The Z4's wide throw distance, whisper quiet fan, vertical and horizontal lens shift, full 720p resolution, widescreen aspect ratio and 7,000:1 contrast ratio make it an excellent choice for home theater use. Read more about how to select a home theater projector.
