Ratings: Sharp XV-Z20000 DLP Projector

Build Quality: 92
• Zoom and focus controls have a smooth feel
• Tight fit and finish

Value: 88
• $12K is only a good value for a car (barely)
• Still, you get what you pay for

Features: 93

• Has innumerable adjustments

Performance: 94
• Excellent detail
• Excellent contrast ratio, black level, and light output

Ergonomics: 91
• Menus move fast but could be better laid out
• Great backlit remote

Overall Rating: 92
It performs about as well as anything we've had in here. Only the color and 480i processing need a little (very little) help. But paying $12,000 for a 1080p projector is harder to swallow with 1080p competition at less than half of the price.
