Hello review readers,well when it comes to budget projector buying it doesn't get better than this,the Sanyo xga plc-xw200 lcd projector.Sanyo is a well world known electronics company and has also paved its way into commercial cinema with professional 2k(2048/1080) projectors.This model however is a good choice for business presentation,conference rooms,class rooms,and at home.Projection method is 3x 0.6" lcd panels,and with a native resolution of 1024/768 it has a video bandwidth of 140mhz,it also manages a re-size of 1600/1200.Nice clean sharp images can be achieved with 85% screen uniformity, and from the 220 watt uhp lamp a brightness of 2,200 ansi lumens is achieved,and can easily project an image as large as 300",albeit at lower foot lamberts.You may wish to playback a dvd or blu-ray disc,a commercially made(home use only) dvd rom or bd rom,or even a dvd-r and blu ray -r that you may have constructed yourself.You could also obtain a public screening licence from filmbank and hire films from them to play to a paying,or non paying audience.I make my own on a toshiba tecra,and sony vegas pro 11 edit suite,and burn @ 25mbps to blu-ray discs on a plextor blu-ray burner.For screening any of these discs you should first in the menu select wide under screen settings,this will then crop the 4:3 aspect ratio of the projectors throw image,and a 16:9 image or 1.85:1 image can be displayed.Even 21:9 (2.39:1)can be obtained in the same projection throw image,albeit with crop bars top and bottom.Under test my best screen resolution was at its highest when playing a blu-ray connected to the component input via vga d sub-15,and you do not really notice the low contrast ratio which on this is 500:1.///Digital keystone correction is on offer as well as digital zoom,and you should get a 100" diag image from around 11-12ft throw distance.For sound i have an alternative system,but as well as my ears i am using a panasonic blu-ray player,i output via left and right phonos to the inputs (also rca)of a behringer vmx 1000 dj mixer,then xlr output from the mixer to the left and right xlr inputs of a behringer stereo ultramizer.Finally,from the left and right xlr outputs of the ultramizer into an adc 20 band stereo graphic equalizer using phono inputs and outputs.Lastly from the adc via a phono lead into a technics hi-fi component system equipped with a stereo sound graphic/spectrum analyser,and onto stereo three way 200watt rms speakers,there are good results using this system as it is better than the 1 watt mono speaker on the projector itself,even if it is a mixed left and right into one. The projector was first on sale from june 2009 and production ceased in august 2010,but what a machine for £85.I would most probably make the next choice wxga or wuxga @ 1920/1200 or maybe a jvc 4k upscaler,but as a budget projector this will fill a hole.I would recommend watching in complete darkness.I'm going off to watch netflix,happy viewing.Read full review
I really cannot add to the three reviews by mmas, martin and evanuser, except to confirm. This Sanyo projector does lack a HDMI input but that is not a problem for me. There is an excellent Owner's Manual on the Internet. Production stopped a couple of years ago, but there seem to be quite a number on e-bay at bargain prices - presumably ex-education?
good picture only thing it has not got is a hdmi input but its a good projector for the money you can watch it in daylight
