The problem with many projectors is that in order to really get that ‘big screen’ thrill at home, the projector has to be a certain distance from the wall – usually 8-10 feet.

Sanyo has just introduced a high definition (HD) projector, perfect for those of us living in bedsits and over-priced broom closets.

The new Sanyo's PLC-XL50 - arriving at the end of the year – needs just 3in – yes 3in – to throw out an 80in image. Quite incredible really. The ultra-short throw distance has been achieved with a new optical engine based around a high-precision aspheric mirror. Combined with a distortion correction mechanism lens, the projector can magnify images without distorting them.

It’s expected to cost around £2,500 when it ships in December. Jump now for the full specs.-Martin Lynch
