Sanyo’s newly announced projector, LP-XL50 gives the kind of distinction being able to project an 80 inch, 2,000 lumens image but needing only a really short focus, which is only 8cm away to achieve that. This is extremely good when used in a small room, which you can have the projector stay very close to the screen that can also give a pretty clear and large enough image for the presentation.
As shown in the picture, the projector just hung on the wall and it could give a pretty large image projection on the wall screen that was only about 8 centimeters away from it. I think we have all experienced that when a projector is located too far from the screen, it’ll be a bit inconvenient for the presenter, as most of the time, the presenter will walk right into the projector beam, somehow will block part of the projected image. Having the Sanyo LP-XL50, that little inconvinience can be eliminated. The LP-XL50 uses an ultra-short focal lens, coupled with a new propriety optical engine. Additionally, there’s a a pair of VGA inputs, component, S-Video, and composite connectors, and a built-in two-watt speaker. It’d likely cost touching $5K and be available in December.

[...] Sanyo seems to be pretty aggressive in improving their projector product line. We’ve seen the extremely short focus projector from Sanyo before.

To be more precise, the 15,000 lumen PLC-XF47 should be crowned with the title of “world’s highest light output”, while the 6500 lumen PLC-XP100L should hold the “brightest portable LCD projector” title.
