Sanyo announced a new projector today called the PLC-XW60. Sanyo calls the projector the industries smallest and lightest XGA LCD projector. The XW60 weighs only 3.6 pound and is small enough to be carried in one hand.

The projector measures in at 10.4-inches W x 2.176-inches H x 7.40-inches D. Sanyo used new lighter optical components for the projector allowing it to reduce the lamp size by 39% and a new reflector design for a 44% lighter lens.

The projector can throw a 100-inch image from 9-11 feet away. Brightness is 2000 lumens and the resolution is 1024x768 with a 4:3 aspect ratio. A built-in 1 watt mono speaker is included and inputs include component and composite. The projector will be available in April for $795.
