Sharp zv 21000 vs others?

Jackass · 05-11-2007, 7:35 AM

Now that this projector is available for £1999 how does it fair against other projectors in all areas?

Thanks

If you're not affected by rainbows (5x colour wheel) it produces one of the best overall images of a all the mono DLP's this side of £6k. In best contrast mode it isn't very bright but it is possible to sacrifice contrast for additional brighness using the manual iris. Also its fan noise is pretty loud compared to some. Apart from that it a very good PJ IMO.

I'm lead to believe it's an end of life deal being offered by Sharp so other dealers may also do something. I'm not sure if/what Sharp are planning to offer as the new model as the rumour is the Z20000 sold in very small numbers in Europe and Sharp may even be pulling out of the HT PJ market. Don't know if that's true.

I've got the Sharp XV-Z3000 machine and would strongly recommend not getting the zv 21000 .

My Sharp produces a stunning wonderful high contrast deep black image with hardly any tweaking out of the box (for contrast and black level) and I can only suggest the zv 21000 would be even better.

The problem is that it's so good I can't seem me upgrading for quite some time. Ho hum...

So is this model identical to the 20k talked about on AVS and reviewed by Greg Rogers?

Yes. In the US it's called the 20000.

Well ive gone for it and can't wait for it to arrive

I think this is a deal not to be missed if you dont suffer from rainbows
I was planning on going with the HD1 and toying with the panny 2000 but the dynamic iris on the panny 2000 was giving me concerns after the comments on here.
The xtra cash i've saved is now going on the Onkyo 905 or yammy 3800......

Just need to get hold of some hi def material to try this beauty out, got a PC but no dedicated HD player

Has anyone actually got one to comment on?

Cyberheater you gave me a heart attack when i started reading your post, you

Thanks to all that have helped

I was incredibly tempted by this offer last week but had to decline because the throw and lens shift requirements don't work in my setup. It's quite a long-throw projector, something like 1.85:1 to 2.2:1 and when used on a shelf (which is how I would be using it) the height of the projector needs to be within the lower half of the screen. When inverted, obviously the projector needs to be within the upper half of the screen.

If you can accomodate it then at £2k it's a steal!

If anybody is interested, Laskys are selling this projector for £1,999 with free Sharp Blu Ray player thrown in with the price.

I can't believe it ONLY £1999 AND that includes a BR player!!!! That is shocking!!!!

What a bargain! This range of pj's were in excess of £10k when they first came about! Earlier this year it was still £7k. So whats changing??

Good luck to anyone in the market at the mo, you'd be bl**dy mad not to take this offer up!
