Because there isn't a model that's perfect for every situation (and buget) we give our Editors' Choice with a caveat like "..for rooms with higher ambient light.." etc.

1080p "C2fine" LCD Projectors are all the rage!

Epson & Sanyo fight it out with the Epson EMP TW2000 and the Sanyo PLV Z2000 see our reviews page it's sad times for the single chip DLP projectors as it seems 3-LCD is winning the 1080P race.

Epson have the best selling 1080P projectors in Australia, they set the warranty standard being the first to offer a 3 year warranty including the lamp. Lamp cost was a big worry for many consumers.

Reviews

Sanyo are now offering a 3 year total warranty that includes the lamp on the fantastic PLV Z2000 home theatre projector.

This is designed to give Epson something to think about while making it even riskier to import a 110volt model with no Australian warranty.

The Sanyo uses the same LCD engine as the Epson TW2000 now the choice is even harder you can't decide on the warranty alone. It comes down to noise, colour (of the case), slight brightness difference plus the dust door. Flip a coin.

Review

We're now seeing low cost 1080P true HD projectors so people can buy a model that does justice to HD TV signals. Higher specification models such as the Sanyo Z2000/Z3000 will have their market share for people that understand (and can afford to pay for) the law of diminishing returns, that's to say you get just a little better for a lot more money!

The Epson EH TW3000 is here, it's not as good as the TW2000?

New universal remote control.

The Longhorn 4000-Pro has no buttons! The full LCD design makes this one of the most desirable remote controls you can get.

Unlike some others it does not require an internet connection to get it operating or change a keys function. You can have any combination of keys on any of the 8 screens.

This means you may use the TV volume keys for your amplifier to save swapping to the Amp screen just to change volume we use UP/DOWN for our IR lighting!

It's easy to change keys till you get that magic combination for your setup. There is a powerful macro function too, this means one button can for example turn on/off the Amp then projector etc.

We think it's a great gift idea, the person who has everything also has a coffee table cluttered with remotes. This is the answer.
