How does the 4805 compare to the Sanyo Z2?
The 4805 is a 480p DLP while the Sanyo Z2 is a 720p LCD. The 4805, being DLP, has better black levels and higher contrast than the Z2. The Z2 is greater resolution meaning you get less screen door effect and more detailed picture for HDTV sources. The 4805 also has a louder fan while the Z2 has lens shift for easier set up. I would recommend the 4805 over the Z2 in most cases because of its great black level and almost double the contrast. The greater contrast helps give a better 3D feel to the picture by giving more depth to the picture. The greater contrast is noticeable no matter where you are viewing the picture. On the other hand, the increase resolution of the Z2 for HDTV sources is more noticeable only at closer distances. When the 4805 first came out a room full of 60 people saw a side by side comparison of the Z2 and 4805 and everyone in the room preferred the image of the 4805 over the Z2.
