Panasonic PT-AE 3000

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 PT-AE3000U LCD Projector

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...

Panasonic PT-AE3000E

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.
