Der er nu lavet en sammenligning mellem toppen af poppen i high-end, Optoma 79'eren (40K herhjemme) og den nye Z4'er. Hvis man ser bort fra Z4'erens middelmådige deinterlacing på 480i materiale (men ok, hvem køber en projektor for at se non-progressiv materiale!), så er det MEGET MEGET interessant!!!
Her noget uddrag: The first thing that becomes evident is that the Z4 delivers a sharper image than the H79. Now the H79 has a clean enough image, to be sure, and standing alone it looks fine. But the Z4 is so razor sharp that it makes the H79 look soft. And the difference in image acuity between these two projectors is the same regardless of whether the source is standard DVD or HDTV 720p or 1080i, and whether it is video or data graphics. We have seen projectors that rival the image sharpness of the Z4, but they are usually in the $10,000 and up price range. We have not yet seen anything in the low $2,000's that can match it. And by the way, this is true even with the sharpness control turned almost all the way to the Off position. The Z4's sharpness scale runs from a minimum position of -7 to a maximum enhancement position of +7; we set it at -5 for all of our comparative testing.
Another advantage of the Z4 is that it has a more stable image. It is less susceptible to noise throughout the gray scale. This is not to suggest that the Z4 is noise-free; certainly it is not. However, wherever there was a hint of noise on the Z4 there was almost always more noise on the H79. Where there was dithering in the shadow areas on the H79, there was a stable image on the Z4. This translates to a smoother image on the Z4. In facial close-ups, skin texture appears even and smooth, whereas in comparison there is a subtle graininess on the H79. Similarly, in solid highlights such as a white vehicle in direct sunlight, the Z4 displayed a pure smooth paint finish, while there was some sparkling on the H79.
Og konklusionen: This shootout indicates that we have reached a fundamental turning point in the industry. For the first time in our experience, an inexpensive LCD projector can be placed along side a well-regarded high performance DarkChip3 DLP projector, evaluated purely for its image quality, and not come off second best. With some types of video material the Z4 will actually surpass the H79 in overall image quality.
Thus, Sanyo has made an extraordinary statement with the PLV-Z4, which is that LCD can no longer be viewed as a second class video technology that must compete by undercutting the price of its DLP competition. Rather, LCD has the demonstrated potential to outperform DLP head to head, regardless of price considerations. The implications of this are far-reaching, and will have an impact on industry price structure, traditional distribution channels, and the direction of new product development. In our view, the PLV-Z4 is destined to become one of the most influential product releases we have ever seen.
Hmm sad lige og lurede på lærreder. Det er ikke bare "sådan lige" at købe et 2.35:1 lærred. Hvis man nupper en 16:9 projektor, kan man bare vise film som LOTR i al sin herlighed. Man skal åbenbart "stretche" billedet vertikalt eller horisontalt og derefter påsætte en anamorphic linse. Hmmmm...lort!

Det var der jeg købte min Z2 og det kan jeg godt anbefale.
