Summary: Low-End 1080P projector
Comment: I bought this projector as soon as it came out. Was dissapointed as soon as I powerd it up. Contrast levels are poor, color accuracy, even after calibration is so so, the menues are designed in a way that makes it very complicated to tune the picture. Brightness is also an issue if your room is not pitch black.
Overall, it generates a good picture when playing Blueray DVD with bright scenes but any dark content, especially standard definition DVD movies will look as good as a $700 SD projector.
Another thing that bothered me is that for some reason, perhaps for seperation from the official PLV-Z700 model (which is identical), the front panel is black. The Sanyo PLV-Z700 and the PLV-Z2000 were beutifuly desgined with an all-white enclosure that merged very nice with the ceiling when mounted but this model that is exculisvily sold by Amazon and Best Buy has a black front which makes it intrusive to the room. An unfortunate decision.
Bottom line - If you can afford the few extra hundreds of dollars skip this projector and go for a unit that will not cause you to plan your next upgrade after the first day you watch a movie with a new purchase.

Summary: Bright and colorful
Comment: This is my first projector and so there is not much I can compare it with.
First the pros:
a) Great value for money. This is the first sub $2k 1080p projector I found.
b) Simple to setup. It has two HDMI and two component inputs. I just plugged the power in hooked up my HD tuner and DVD player in and I was up and running in a couple of minutes.
c) The image is bright, crisp and colorful. On my first attempt I projected the image onto a dark wall and yet I could see a lot of detail and colors.
d) The zoom combined with the vertical and horizontal shifts mean that you can pretty much install it wherever you want and control the size of the image.
e) The lens cover is motorized and shuts off when you power off the device, keeping out unwanted dust.
Cons:
1) The projector is a bit bulky.
