Sanyo unleashes the first projector with their new 4LCD engine: Sanyo PLC-XP200L.

The portable Sanyo PLC-XP200L delivers an 7,000 lumens brightness and 2,200:1 contrast ratio.

The additional Color Control Device in the 4LCD optical engine allows the PLC-XP200L to automatically control the amount of yellow light in the image, producing higher luminosity with improved color accuracy and clarity.

Sanyo developed a new high-speed image compensating LSI for the 4LCD engine. The combination of the 4LCD engine and the new LSI allows for up to 20% more color space than our conventional projectors.
With the controlled yellow light, Sanyo's Advanced Color Correction technology separates each color histogram for unparalleled color processing and correction, resulting in beautiful and naturally rich colors.

Additionally, the Sanyo PLC-XP200L is equipped with a high-output, single lamp that is designed for exceptional light efficiency. Aside from generating sharper and brighter displays in large halls and meeting rooms, the 4LCD design is well suited for digital signage and advertising in brightly lit environments.
For quick and easy installation the XP200L is outfitted with a motor driven vertical and horizontal lens shift. Up/Down/Left/Right lens shift ensures image projection at any angle of up to 360-degrees, allowing ceiling or floor image projection.

The input signal compatibility includes UXGA, SXGA+, SXGA, WXGA, XGA, SVGA, VGA, and MAC. It is also compatible with HD resolutions including 1080i 50/60, 1035i, 720p as well as standard definition (480p, 480i, 575p, 575i).

The Sanyo PLC-XP200L will be shipping in September 2008 with a MSRP of $9,995.00. Sanyo will show the XP200L at the Las Vegas Convention Center during INFOCOMM starting June 18th, 2008.
Pricing is still rather steep for the new 4LCD technology, but the specs sound exciting.
