Sharp’s XV-Z17000 projector is a completely unexpected treat for anyone who likes to watch 3D BIG...
First seeing a non-functioning sample of the Sharp XV-Z17000 at CEDIA last September, it’s been a long wait getting one in for review. I was very excited when I first learned the specs of the XV-Z17000, and have been impressed while reviewing.

At street prices under $5000, the Z17000 is available, affordable, and the picture is agreeable.
Sharp was once king of the $10,000 projector class, a class now nearly disappeared. With the 3D era under way, it returns to the game with this $4,995 offering, only to find the market far more competitive than before. Most notable is the $500-cheaper JVC DLA-X3, the baby brother of the X7 model I reviewed in the April/May issue.
