Savvy home cinema enthusiasts know that to really get the most from HD movies you invest in a HD projector and not some vastly overpriced anorexic HDTV.

Sanyo is about to refresh its high-def projector offering for the home next month with the PLV-Z5. Like its predecessor, the Z4, it has a resolution of 1280 x 720 and it looks exactly the same. The key differences are that contrast has been tweaked from a 7000:1 to a whopping 10000:1 and brightness is up from 1000 to 1100 ANSI Lumens.

There are two HDMI inputs, the very handy vertical and horizontal lens shifting capability and a fairly quiet operating noise of 22db.

How much? £1,400, which isn’t half bad considering just a few years ago a decent standard resolution projector would set you back the same. See the full specs here.-Martin Lynch
