Sanyo announce short-focus projectors PDG-DWL2500 and PDG-DXL2000

Sanyo have just lifted the lid or may be the lens cap on a couple of short-focus projectors, the PDG-DWL2500 and PDG-DXL2000. Each of these models can toss up a large image whilst being only a short distance from the display screen using a newly developed ultra short-focus mirror projection optical unit. The DWL2500 can manage an 80 inch image at only 12.6 inches whilst the DXL2000 requires to be 15.1 inches away for a similar sized image. But wait there’s more, these Sanyo projectors are also 3D ready. Here are the full details on these short-focus projectors
