5 Stars PLV-180HD Killer picture + Best value
I replaced a Sanyo Z2 that had an LCD issue. The picture on this unit is incredible with virtually no adjustments – right out of the box. Unit is pretty large, but blends into my white drop ceiling. Motorized front door covering lens is cool. Highly recommend if you are looking for a killer picture at a great price.

5 Stars I am amazed!
I absolutely love this projector. I first bought one that was advertised as 1080p “compatible” and boy was I let down. I didn’t realize that didn’t mean it would project that image, only that it would RECEIVE that strong of a signal and then project at it’s own native resolution. I sent that one back and bought the Sanyo, or as I like to call it “Old Beautiful” The image quality is SO GOOD. We have a 42inch 1080p LCD TV downstairs and the picture is just as good, only FOUR TIMES the size! For us men, Big TV is like Big Steak or Big Beer or Big whatever! Other reviewers mentioned not having a keystone correction but it has no need of one because it has this handy dial that will shift the image as far up or down as you might need. just lay the unit level and adjust the dials to put the image exactly where you want it. VERY easy. and the zoom lense lets you even DOUBLE the image size without ever moving the unit. I have it set up in my movie room with a projection distance of about 11 feet. With the zoom all the way out I get FULL USE out of my 120″ 16:9 screen. Let me say, 120″ of Hi-Def Master Chief is stinkin’ ridiculous! (That’s XBOX for anyone that doesn’t know.) I have a 1080p upconverting DVD player hooked up and movies are fantastic. I do plan to pick up a Blu-Ray player but don’t have it yet. My laptop is also plugged in so videos on my computer are displayed beautifully. My XBOX 360 and DVD player are both hooked up with HDMI cables. The only downside to this projector is that it doesn’t have an AUDIO output. That means that if I want to use HDMI, and that is the best signal transfer, I also need to run AUDIO to my stereo. Not a big deal if your devices have both HDMI output and a separate AUDIO output. The XBOX 360 has the regular plug and the HDMI plug right next to each other, which doesn’t leave enough room for both the regular cables, to run the audio to the stereo, and the HDMI to run to the projector. My solution for this was to remove the housing on the plug of the HDMI cable and carefully shove it in at the same time as the regular plug. Anyway, long story long, I made it work and I am so very pleased. I would HIGHLY recommend this product and would buy it again… but hopefully I won’t have to. Oh ya, and the remote and menus and controls are all very simple and make perfect sense. I’m sure even my 13 year old son could figure it out. I hope he doesn’t try. This is Dad’s toy!

I bought this projector since I noticed trough research the problems with zooming on Epson. I love it the minute I crank it up!. I have combined it with a Bose V20 and use Bose 161 speakers as rear surround using the wireless device provided by Bose. I can’t be more happier with my Movie Room, Watched Monsters Inc Blu-ray with the kids and could’nt believe the crisp images it reproduces.

One of the best single purchase ever.

Totally recomend it.

Update 10-01-2009: If you are planing using this projector for rear projection I totally recomend using a Wireless HDMI transmitter (WHDMI), you going to get rid of those messy cables and a long run for HDMI cable wich if extended over 35 ft one may lose signal in some cases. One good option is Brite View’s Air HDMI. It worked fine for me.
