Sanyo PLC-XP200L Projector Review

The Sanyo PLC-XP200L is one of the newest projectors to be released. It features a XGA (1024 x 768) resolution, 2200:1 contrast ratio and 7000 ANSI lumens, which is bright enough for any room. The main feature about this projector is that it is the first projector to use a 4th LCD panel. The fourth panel introduces the color yellow into the optical engine. The result is lush colors, especially with reds, oranges, and yellows. Recently the writers from Sound and Vision Magazine got to review the PLC-XP200L projector. They focused on the 4LCD display, mainly because the other specs are not much to look at. They mentioned that the yellow display panel expands the projector’s color gamut and brightness by 20%. The best part about these increases is that they do not affect the contrast and the projector delivers vivid colors in both bright and dark rooms. Another good point mentioned was that the 4LCD technology not only improved the colors, but also improved the black levels. The blacks in the display were noticeably deeper and looked cleaner. Their final thought was, “We’re looking forward to seeing how QuaDrive performs in the more demanding home environment - and how it fares when faced with a color analyzer.”
