Sanyo's LP-XW60 LCD projector claims be to industry's "smallest and lightest"

With all these projectors running around claiming to be the world's smallest, it's hard to say who's really being truthful anymore. Nevertheless, Sharp seems pretty confident that its 55- x 264- x 188-millimeter LP-XW60 LCD projector is in fact the most compact in its class. Whatever the case, there's no denying that thing is mighty small, and features wise, you find a 1,024 x 768 resolution, 400:1 contrast ratio, built-in one-watt speaker, 2,000 lumens, audio in / out and a VGA video output for good measure. We've no idea if this one will ever make it outside of Japan, but for those shacked up over there, get ready to grab one in late April for a staggeringly high ¥207,900 ($2,028).

She seems to be saying "This object fails to 'gimmie five', but nevertheless I am pleased".

pleased like she ate Jokerfish.. that smile reeks of radioactive tuna.

Sharp? Or Sanyo?

The title and the article contradict each other!

Yeah!

looks like someone needs more coffee?

It's Sanyo. The 'Read' link points to a page on www.sanyo.co.jp

I think they should have had it next to something large, rather than next to that woman. How about an elephant? Or a bus...

Either Sanyo have a low budget, or this is the end of sexy asian women selling electrical equipment.

Sanyo is a Japanese not a Korean company, so she's probably Japanese...
Draw your conclusions yourselves.

As is she. After turning on the projector, the side exhaust air blew her into the air and she vanished in a puff of pink smoke in the shape of Hello Kitty.

*** gadgets must be available outside japan or it doesn't count. ***

I need a better size comparison.

It looks kind of like a NES, but with a lense instead of a cartridge slot

[spaceb @ Mar 11th 2008 4:28PM]

I'm so glad she is is pointing at the projector otherwise I wouldn't have seen it.

[spamistehgay @ Mar 13th 2008 11:41AM]

Too bad it's not the smallest.

Total volume is 2,729,760 mm2

My sharp XR-1X has a total volume of 2,079,246 mm2

Therefore, my lil sharp DLP LCD projector is smaller. and it came out many, many years ago. Nice try sanyo.

That model has too much clothing. She needs to take off her jacket and smile more invitingly. Don't Sanyo know anything about advertising?
