Up-Close Projectors

The Sanyo LP-XL50

Instead of projecting across a room, the Sanyo LP-XL50 can be placed up right up against a wall. Although the projector looks a little odd, it can project a 100" image, effectively creating a movie theater in tight spaces.

Implications - The way the Sanyo LP-XL50 works is by using a surface mirror at a high angle to help project the image effectively onto any wall. Although the thought of having your own movie theater screen sounds pretty awesome, there is a hefty price tag of $5000 attached.

What is great about the item is that it can be used practically anywhere -- even if you have a tiny apartment. If you only like to watch movies, there is no need for a TV!
