Product ReviewsSANYO PLC-XE40 LCD Projector

Great for a tight space. Get an extra remote.

This has replaced my more expensive projector that needed to sit across the room.
I'm still waiting for my screen, but I have been projecting onto a white wall. The picture is very good even when I project larger than 80 inches diagonal. I can watch in daylight, although obviously a darkened room is best. I don't notice any fan noise when the unit is running, even using the internal audio. I am using a HDMI to RCA converter and it works great. There is a widescreen mode and I use it and set my devices for 16:9 ratio.
Order an extra remote (they are cheap and plentiful) because if you loose the one that came with it it becomes a useless paperweight. There is no way to power on or control the unit except with the remote. The built-in speaker will get you by in a small room presentation, but you need to use external amplification for any serious audio.
Overall, a very, very happy camper.Read full review...

*short throw* projector. Good quality

If you are not aware, this is a short-throw projector. You can't put it 15 feet away from the wall. I think the manual has it only a few feet; literally, from the wall. The picture is fine. I got one used, very cheap. Great way to do some home theater on a budget if you can have the projector close to the wall, so ceiling mount is ideal. Recommended. Happy with used purchase.Read full review...

Good projector for Halloween projection

1400 lumens isn't the brightest, but will work great as a Halloween projector. Probably not the best projector if you're looking at reading text since there is some distortion in areas on the screen. It also doesn't have great black levels and connections are limited to VGA and composite, but this is to be expected with a projector at this price point (and age).Read full review...

Small space big picture.

If you don't have a lot of room and need to get a full screen picture, this is the projector you need. At a little less then 5 feet It filled my 5X7 foot screen. You have to have the remote to make it work. No controls even for the power on the external side. Ultra short throw lens and 1500 lumen bulb. The replacement bulb isn't overly pricey either.Read full review...

Not that bad for a old pj

Good

Awesome!

Very nice projector for the price. It sits very close to the wall, and has extremely good clarity. I bought this to use with my Optishot golf simulator, and it works great!

A cinema at home experience.

Great projector. Speakers sound find.... but you can improve the sound with a microcomponet.
As it came without remote ... I complemented it with a Logitech remote (Harmony).
I would recommend it!Read full review...

I bought two.

For a cheap short throw - this thing is awesome! Even if I had to buy a new bulb, more than the projector - way worth it. @3.5 feet from the wall - 70"!! love it.

GOOD proector

Cheap & very useful projector!
