Panasonic PT-AE3000U Projector ReviewsPanasonic PT-AE3000 Home Theater Projector
Evan Powell, October 13, 2008 - ProjectorCentral.com
Every so often a projector manufacturer takes a mighty swing and hits one way out of the ballpark. Such is the case with this fall's new Panasonic PT-AE3000. Panasonic's third generation 1080p home theater projector combines a breathtaking array of features with rich, satisfying image quality, and brings it all to market for an MSRP of $3,499. The AE3000 is one of those new benchmark-setting achievements that will cause the industry to rethink pricing on 1080p projectors. One wonders... how long can some brands continue to ask $10,000 and up for 1080p projectors when you can get stunning, high contrast 1080p picture quality and an unsurpassed boatload of features for street prices close to $3,000?

Panasonic PT-DW5100U Projector ReviewsREVIEW: Panasonic PT-D5700U And PT-DW5100U
By Steven Jackson CTS, Product Manager - Video, PSAV Presentation Services
Panasonic's PT-D5700
The PT-D5700U and the PT-DW5100U are single chip DLP projectors rated at 6000 and 5500 lumens respectively. The 5700 has a 4:3 aspect ratio 1024x768 DLP chip, the 5100 sports a wider 16:9 aspect ratio chip with a pixel array of 1280x768. Other than aspect ratio, native resolution and slight difference in lumen production, these two projectors are virtually identical in form and function.
Panasonic promotes these siblings as primarily fixed install projectors. I am sure that they work very well for those applications, but do they have the reliability, performance, and credentials to be considered for the rental and staging environment? Let's take a closer look. [Read more]

Panasonic PT-AE2000U Projector ReviewsPanasonic PT-AE2000U 1080p Home Theater Projector: Review By Joe Lozito
Overall Rating (out of four): four stars
'Sonic Boom
Can a person be unfaithful to his home theater equipment? As loyal BigPictureBigSound readers can attest, I'm a huge proponent of Sanyo projectors. My first was the PLV-Z2, and I recently upgraded to the stellar 1080p PLV-Z2000. But when I saw the image produced by the Panasonic PT-AE2000U 1080p home theater projector, I have to confess I started having impure thoughts. (Oh, I hope Sanyo isn't reading this.) [Read more]

Panasonic PT-AX200U Projector ReviewsPanasonic PT-AX200U Review
Affordable 720p projector may be the best big-screen gaming solution ever.
by Gerry Block, ign.com
February 4, 2008 - We'll admit we've got a real affinity for projectors at IGN Gear. We like them for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is the fact that they're the only option for enjoying some 110-inch gaming for less than $70,000. They're also compact, and a lot easier to move than even small panel HDTVs. There are some downsides to the technology however, mostly having to do with the room in which a projector is installed. A lot of wall space for the image is an obvious necessity, as is enough throw distance between wall and projector for the projected image to expand to the desired size. [Read more]

Panasonic PT-AX200U Projector ReviewsPanasonic PT-AX200U 3LCD Home Theater Projector - Product Review
From Robert Silva,
Your Guide to Home Theater.
Guide Rating - 5-star
The Bottom Line
At an MSRP of $1,999, the Panasonic PT-AX200U 3LCD projector is an upgrade of its popular PT-AX100U, which I reviewed previously. Two improvements include better detail performance with dark scenes and better motion response for video game play. With its native 720p resolution and high light output, the video quality is excellent. Flesh tones, overall color saturation, and contrast levels provide a very natural looking image, with none of the usual LCD artifacts, such as the screen door effect. The level of performance is hard to beat in this price range. [Read more]

Panasonic PT-F100U Projector ReviewsHouses of worship are faced with many challenges when considering projectors. Ambient light conditions, placement, input requirements, and resolution are just some of the things that grace the top of the list. It was with surprise that I began a journey with the PT-F100U, discovering that many of the features I associated with and loved about home theater projectors were present on this commercially-targeted product. As multimedia needs advance in both the corporate and house of worship venues, technology seems to be ready to oblige our needs in the form of products willing to cross over and provide features previously thought to be distinct.

Panasonic PT-D5700U Projector ReviewsPanasonic PT-D5700U DLP Projector
Panasonic’s PT-D5700U is a versatile performer with plenty of zip in its light engine.
It seems that HD is all the rage these days; from the plasma and LCD TVs I’ve tested recently to the computer monitor I’m using and a few home theater projectors that have been reviewed here in the last couple of months.
Yet there’s still a market for lower-resolution front projection, particularly in the business, education, and house of worship markets. And the sweet spot for resolution seems to be divided between XGA (1024x768) and SXGA+ (1400x1050), both of which are 4:3 aspect ratio image formats. [Read more]

Panasonic PT-AE2000U Projector Reviews Panasonic PT-AE2000U Home Theater Projector
Panasonic's second generation 1080p projector, the PT-AE2000U, is a significant step beyond last year's impressive AE1000. Topping its long list of great attributes is its outstanding contrast and black level performance. On these measurements it outperforms every other 1080p projector we have put it up against that is anywhere near its price range. And along with its high contrast comes excellent color saturation. Selling at an official street price of just $2,699, it is one of the most formidable and competitive of the new 1080p projectors released this fall. [Read entire review]

Panasonic PT-F100NTU Projector ReviewsZoom In For A Closer Look
Panasonic's PT-F100NTU Is Packed With Installation-Ready Features
by Jonathan Brawn CTS, ISF, ISF-C
Over the course of time, we've seen a lot of projectors from a lot of manufacturers come, and in some cases, thankfully go. Along the way, small, high-performance projectors have become almost ubiquitous, to the point of being taken for granted and becoming commodities. From ultra-light, 3-pound portable devices pumping out a thousand lumens, up to massive, permanent installation 30,000-lumen light howitzers, projection technology is everywhere. Evolution, not revolution has become the norm, taking a meandering path across the manufacturing landscape, providing minor improvements to already high picture quality and performance in business class projectors.
