The Bottom Line	While Sanyo's PLV-Z2000 1080p projector does have some performance shortcomings, it's nonetheless a very good value.	The new chip in Samsung's SP-A900B helps it to outperform every projector in its class, including its step-down Joe Kane-designed brother, and to compete favorably against significantly more-expensive three-chip DLP projectors.	Although it certainly costs more than most of the 1080p competition, the SXRD-based Sony VPL-VW200 delivers one of the best pictures of any projector we've tested.	The Panasonic PT-AE2000U 1080p projector is a credible performer, especially when you consider its relatively low price.
