Seen the new article on Projector Central? Panasonic PT-AX200U vs. Sanyo PLV-Z5 shootout. From demo-ing both in my HT I think it is spot on.

Yep.. read it..
This is why it's important to know what features you NEED for your specific setups!

Both do what they are supposed to do rather well. So choose accordingly.

How about screen size factor ?
Would Z5 brightness fill OK a 77" screen in a room with ambient light ?
Whereas AX200 could be too bright ?
Also is this true: "the smaller the screen the less visible pixels are" ?

Well I guess the question they ask at Projector Central is "Which pj has the best black levels?" and not "Which pj has the best black levels if we use this filter on AX200?"...

So what do you suggest they do when it is time to measure both pj's brightness? Should they equal the lumen output for that test as well? And fan noise? Stuff some cotton in the exhaust? Projectors are a new thing to me, so what do I know, but it seems a bit stupid to have a shootout between to brands and then add som peace of extra kit to even out their performance.
C'mon...its a shootout. They open the boxes, hook the pj's up, calibrate and then judge which one they think is the best performer in a number of categorys. Simple as that...

You are wrong. You can't allow yourself to make a comparison when one projector has 3 times the lumen rating than the other, just like you can't allow yourself you make a comparison between two sound systems, when one is 3 times louder than the other. First, you have to equal the intensity, then you can compare.

If I'm wrong the whole concept of shootouts is pointless since more or less all different brands and models will vary when it comes to performance and will perform accordingly in different test categorys.

I agree with peppelito. The comparison is of the 2 products as is. Some are brighter than others, some are sharper than other, etc. Adding additonal equipment clouds the comparison.
