Hello,


First time poster. I've been sitting on the fence for

about 3 months, mostly lurking on this forum.


I finally decided on the Sanyo Z1 after becoming aware of their current promotion (lasts until 4/30) to include an additional bulb for free. This removes (for me) one of the question marks I had about the Z1 (i.e. bulb life).


I also just found this excellent review of the Z1 in one of my favorite (and well-respected) Web resources, Home Theater Secrets. Here's a link to the review,
http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volum...or-4-2003.html


Besides the usual complaint about Screendoor, the reviewer gives the Z1 a very favorable review.

This validates my decision to go with the Z1 since I will mostly be using it to view DVDs.


Cheers (and thanks to all for helping me make my first FP purchase!).

Is that from all retailers, or just the one I found, and it says while supply lasts?

I believe it does depend on whether or not the retailer orders them from Sanyo during this special period. The rebate form that I saw seemed to apply more to the retailer than the end-user.

Hey all check out Projector Shopper for their Z1 package deals. Saw these after I ordered the Matinee !HD. But during the 15 day trial and was able to get Studio Experience(Boxlight) to honor the same deal more or less. Welcome to the Z1 gang.

Note the Z1 also has lens shift (everyone seems to overlook this)

I saw the rebate PDF on the ProjectorPeople website early this week but now it's no longer posted. I didn't save the PDF but printed it out.

Here's the basic content (sorry I don't have a scanner available at the moment):
One-to-One Dealer Donus Program
When you purchase a PLV-Z1 16:9 Wide-screen Home Entertainment LCD Projector between March 20, 2003 and April 30, 2003, you will receive a bonus PLV-Z1 LCD projector Lamp Assembly #6103025933.


You may want to contact your dealer to see if they can retroactively apply for this rebate.


Good luck.
