Sanyo introduces the PLC-XU4000 ultra-portable projector with intelligent lamp control system

Aside from the PLC-WL2503, Sanyo has another projector in store for us, namely the PLC-XU4000. This ultra-portable projector features a high 4,000 lumens brightness and weighs 7lbs, ensuring that it’s easy to transport. It features a contrast ratio of 2,000:1 and Sanyo claims that the power consumption can be reduced by up to 69 percent compared to similar projectors from competitors. These power saving features are achieved by boosting the lamp control range from 30% to 70% and the new system operates by analyzing the video signal and automatically adjusting lamp brightness according to image requirements. The PLC-XU4000 will be shipping later this month for $1,546.
