Straight out of the box, the Sanyo Z5 LCD projector should impress and accommodate most movie enthusiasts. With its exceptionally high contrast ratio of 10,000:1 the black levels are deeper and colour's and highlights are more defined.
The PLV Z5 is visually identical to its predecessor the PLV Z4 but with a good handful of image improvements. Presets like "Brilliant Cinema", "Pure Cinema" and "Living Mode" (to name three of the seven presets), adjusts the lumens (brightness), colour and contrast to give a suitable setting for various video sources. Add to this, user-presets and the Z5 is shaping up as a strong contender in the projector arena.
It also has the same motorised lens cover that automatically opens when powered on and then closes when the power is turned off. This helps to keep dust off the lens and saves you having to fiddle with a lens cover every time you wish to use the Z5.
The rear connection panel remains almost the same with the addition of an extra HDMI port, allowing the Sanyo Z5 to have two digital sources connected without an additional HDMI switching device. Other inputs include 2 x Component, 1 x S-Video, 1 x Composite Video, 1 x VGA Port and a service port. More than enough for most home theatre setups.
