When asked by Sharp if we wanted to audition its 3D projector, we weren't about to say no, even though the machine hasn't yet been confirmed for a UK release. Oddly, Sharp is prevaricating about whether there's a market for a 3D PJ with a retail price of...

3D remains a work in progress on this and most other affordable projectors when it comes to producing a bright image on a very big screen at a sensible price. But even there, the best of the 3D discs I watched were a treat, despite my reservations about...

Although we’d seen and enjoyed Sharp’s Z17000 at last year’s IFA show in Berlin, nothing - including the projector’s own spec sheet and appearance - could have prepared us for just how engaging its 3D pictures are. It’s not quite as assured in 2D...

I found it hard to love the XV-Z17000. With Blu-ray 3D, this projector looks spectacular and is one of the best going. The 3D image is bright and vibrant, something not said very often. Its 2D performance is far less impressive, easily outclassed by...

Since the Z17000 projector is our first 3D projector in its price range, it really is hard to determine how it will stack up to the competition, such as the similarly priced JVC RS40, the forthcoming Mitsubishi HC9000D, and so on. Well, despite the...

Der XV-Z17000 von Sharp ist ein hervorragender 2D-Projektor, der die Latte in Sachen Schwarzwert und Maximalkontrast bei DLP-Beamern ganz weit nach oben legt. Die hervorragende Güte seiner Optik macht ihn zudem wunderbar scharf. Umso schöner, dass die...
