Expert review by : Televisions.com (televisions.com)
Clear motion depiction with 24p and 60p material., Outstanding contrast., Flexible positioning thanks to the 2D lens-shift., Three HDMI inputs.
Poor de-interlacing of standard TV signals., Some slight color-fringing.
Panasonic's third Full HD projector, with its superb picture contrast, ranks alongside even the best DLP projectors - no mean feat for an LCD.

Panasonic's PT-AE3000U really ups the ante when it comes to features at this price point. Panasonic has consistently pushed the envelope on the budget side, and this LCD projector easily represents the company's best effort to date. It offers solid...

Another really cool feature in the PT-AE3000U is a built-in waveform monitor. This is a geek's dream, and I'm surprised that more manufacturers don't offer something like it. With the touch of a button, you can bring up a real-time waveform monitor...

The AE3000 is one of those new benchmark-setting achievements that will cause the industry to rethink pricing on 1080p projectors.

Let's cut to the chase: the Panasonic PT-AE3000E is one of the most accomplished home-theatre projectors we've laid eyes on. Like the best models on t...
Superb image quality, lots of useful and innovative features, vastly improved contrast ratio (compared to PT-AE2000U)
There are cheaper (albeit inferior) HD home-theatre projectors on the market
The PT-AE3000E is easily one of the best home-theatre projectors we've ever had the pleasure of testing. Short of a built-in Blu-ray player and drink dispenser it provides everything the average videophile could possibly want.

Expert review by : What Hi-Fi? (whathifi.com)
The Panasonic PT-AE3000 might look unappealing, but performs like a winner in our eyes
Superb set-up procedure ; full HD spec with three HDMI inputs ; colourful, natural and detailed video ; smooth motion ; quiet operation
Uninspiring looks
Simple to use and with superb results – a hugely persuasive argument for taking the big-screen plunge
Expert review by : Tech Staff (techradar.com)
A full HD LCD projector that pays dividends if you optimise it
Decent contrast and black levels ; Vivid colour reproduction ; Runs very quietly
Won't accept 480/576i via HDMI ; No screen triggering
An undeniably flexible projector, but for the best pictures tweaking is required
