Sharp XV-Z17000
$3,299.99
Released January, 2011
The Pros:Very easy to setup/connect to a source - dual HDMI 1.4a inputs. Image quality for 2D HD media is top notch. 3D performance is very good, comparable even to professional theater 3D - crosstalk is almost non-existent.
The Cons:Limited picture adjustment options. Price point makes it an unnecessary purchase compared to high-end HDTVs. Lamp life is relatively lackluster (3,000 hours on Eco Mode).

This projector is equipped with vertical/horizontal Keystone correction, which corrects spherical/trapezoidal distortion of an image on a flat screen. If you are operating in a small space, the Image Shift function of the XV-Z17000 shifts the image vertically (given it is in 16 x 9 format) to keep the image high-quality. The 23dB fan level of this projector ensures that your viewing will not be interrupted by unwanted noise. The XV-Z17000 has energy savings-based features such as low standby power consumption, and Eco mode (which helps to expand the lamp's 3,000 hours of life). The Sharp XV-Z17000 comes with two pairs of 3D glasses.
