Panasonic has in front projection business for a long time and has been aggressively pricing its home theater projectors for how long, which has a prize in the category as a whole. Accordingly, it is now cheaper than ever, a wide screen home theater. Recent efforts of society, the Panasonic PT-AE2000U is a 1080p projectors sells for just over $ 2,500. Like most offerings in the price range is not perfect, but better than most of its competitors, such as the Sanyo PLV-Z2000. As is typical of this type of projectors, the color fidelity is Panasonic's largest problem, but in other areas of the image quality is surprisingly good. The device offers great connectivity and a number of useful functions for configuration, and a solid 1080p shock package for a compact package.
Design
The Panasonic PT-AE2000U, the external appearance does not turn any heads. This is a simple rectangular box, all finished in black, which means it should disappear when dark roofs. All of the connection is at the center of the rear of the chassis. A drop-down door on the side hides a menu button, the form of four navigation arrows, and the orientation and zoom functions.
As distance to go, with the AE200U is an excellent design. We liked the ergonomics, especially the ease of access to the most frequently used keys. It is a fully backlit universal type capable of controlling other components. The internal menu system is simple and easy to navigate.
Features
Configuration functions are available on the PT-AE2000U. Vertical and horizontal lens shift are a boon during installation, flexibility in linking with the projector to the screen. Electronic zoom and focus also ease of installation, as well as the image standing close to the screen, instead of returning to the projector.
A total of seven picture modes is more than any projector we've seen, and represents a large number of options for most users. Cinema 1 because it has chosen the more neutral and a good basis for more accurate picture of who might PT-AE2000U. This is an auto-iris, which, as usual, the stability of light and darkness levels.
The color temperature can be selected in digital form, from -6 to +6. The adjustment of -2, which is the most accurate grayscale prior to calibration. Technique is really a central waveform monitoring to help improve some adjustments. All parameters of gamma and greyscale in the Advanced menu. Gamma was a little better than last year AE1000U and therefore we have not found it necessary to manipulate the gamma controls. After a few minor optimizations has a good, proper monitoring of levels of gray.
Connections to the PT-AE200U is superb. Contains one of three HDMI inputs - more than any projector, we have to date. After several HDMI inputs is great if you connect directly to the projector device, but it is less useful permanently in the ceiling by a long umbilical region HDMI on the projector from an HDMI switch near the component rack . There are two component video inputs, an S-video, composite video input, VGA input and PC-style RS-232 port for remote control system.
Performance
The PT-AE2000U 1080p projectors is an artist in the driveway projector offers 1080p high-class black and video processing, but behind the best projectors' color.
Our biggest complaint with the PT-AE2000U is a full fidelity caused by poor primary and secondary colors. Information on the Panasonic web site to offer "Digital Cinema" primary colors. We prefer that close to the HDTV specifications as possible, and certainly not very close. Blue was good, but red and green are outside the norm (see the Geek box).
The PT-AE2000U produced a profound and convincing level of black for the great "rupture" demonstrates the good contrast ratio. With this said, we believe that the rating of 1500 lumens of brightness is too generous. We could not pull on the specifications of 12 footlamberts on our Stewart Grayhawk RS screen, 92 inches on the diagonal of 80 inches wide, without a white (a sign of too much of the projector). For this reason, we recommend working with a small screen - no larger than us, and perhaps even lower. White areas are quite uniform for an LCD projector, which generally have a visible discoloration in white light scenes.
Resolution measures have actually been better than most 1080p projectors, and a signal is completely resolved 1080p/24fps and our favorite, the Sony VPL-VW200, which costs about six times more. The difference is small, however, Sony and Panasonic exceeds almost all other areas.
The first chapters of the excellent transfer of Batman Begins on HD-DVD are torture tests the performance of black level. Small, while difficult scenes Panasonic - Chapter 1, where he was a child, and chapter 2 in a cell in Chinese - with a good depth and shadow detail. For more colorful and natural, we saw our old favorite Seabiscuit on HD DVD. It is a very physical film, and thus a good test for color, among others. Objects like the green grass and hedges in fact a bit cartoony or punched, but the rest of it is so impressive.
My standard definition cable system to Time Warner seem as good as we expect on the big screen, an indication of the PT-AE2000U1080p projectors solid video processing.
