Hands-on Review: Sanyo four-panel LCD PLC-XP200L Projector

Say hello to the brilliant Sanyo PLC-XP200L projector, the reason we wanted to tell you a little about this projector from Sanyo is the fact it has a fourth LCD panel.

Sound & Vision are the ones who talk about this projector in great detail and they mention it with an open mind, they say that the QuaDrive technology is everything it should be considering the hype it received.

The Sanyo four-panel LCD PLC-XP200L projector is basically a tailored home theatre set-up with a pretty low 4:3 aspect ratio and 1,024 x 768 resolution, which is pretty poor considering what is on the market already, but do not count this little puppy out. The other technical bits within is what is important here, like a much quieter for starters, 16:9 QuaDrive beamer slated for 2009 and that this projector is much better than other 3LCD rivals, it looks like 4LCD is the way to go.
