Sanyo brings "smallest and lightest" XGA projector to these shores
It looks like it's not only those in Japan that'll be able to get their hands on what's purported to be the "industry's smallest and lightest XGA projector," with Sanyo now also announcing that its diminutive PLC-XW60 LCD projector will soon be available 'round these parts as well. Most importantly, the price has also received a rather steep cut from the direct Yen to dollar conversion, with it now boasting an MSRP of just $795. That'll still get you the very same 3.6-pound projector, however, which packs a respectable 2,000 lumens of brightness, a 400:1 contrast ratio, component, composite and VGA inputs, and, last but not least, a built-in 1 watt mono speaker. Look for it to hit all the usual sources sometime next month.
Canon rolls out two new XGA projectors for business and education
Canon let out word of a pair new XGA projectors today, although they'll each be more at home in a boardroom or classroom than your home theater, unless you've got some very particular needs. On the high-end, the LV-7585 boasts an impressive 6.500 ANSI lumens, along with a more than adequate 1,600:1 contrast ratio, and even your choice of four different lenses depending on your needs. You will need to set aside a full $10,000 to light up your PowerPoint presentation with one of these, however, although you'll at least have 'till the middle of November to save up (or convince the higher-ups). On the considerably lower-end of the spectrum, the $1,500 LV-7365 model will only give you one standard issue lens, although you will get a decent 3,000 ANSI lumens, and a passable 500:1 contrast ratio. Look for it to land around the middle of next month as well.
