Panasonic PT-AE4000U LCD Projector Review

The Panasonic PT-AE4000U LCD Projector is a fantastic unit that's very expensive, which is why it comes in second place on our list of home theater projectors, as we mentioned above. This is always a big deciding factor when it comes to making any...

Excellent contrast ratio. Incredible throw distance and overall diagonal image size.

It's expensive. The lumens rating is slightly lower than similar models.

This is a terrific projector to consider if you can afford it.

Panasonic PT-AE 4000

Accurate colours., Contrast-rich images., Loads of video settings., 2x zoom and lens shift., Excellent 24p reproduction., Top motion clarity.

Slight discolouration in fine patterns., Coloured fringes on moving edges., Poor de-interlacing in standard TV.

In terms of light output, the PT-AE 4000 surpasses its predecessors. It also combines attractive colours with outstanding contrast, as well as versatile and professional features. Not so impressive, on the other hand, were the small colour fringes on...

Panasonic Home PT-AE4000U Review

This month the Panasonic AE4000 comes to market at a jaw-dropping $1,999 official street price.

All of this adds up to a remarkable value proposition: at a street of $1,999, we've simply never seen this much performance at this price. Panasonic has been extremely tight-lipped about this product launch. Until now many thought the company was...

Panasonic PT-AE4000 LCD Projector

The Panasonic PT-AE4000 projector is a unique, almost crazily flexible and hugely tantalising product for its price point.

Although the AE4000 still has room for improvement and leaves Epson plenty of wiggle room to justify charging significantly more for its TW5500 flagship LCD projector, Panasonic has undoubtedly delivered some really key improvements over the AE3000.

Panasonic PT-AE4000E review

Still a top performer and living room friendly, but loses a star on price - it's stayed the same while others have cut prices

Great HD spec ; easy set-up ; punchy, bright colours ; fine insight

A little noise at times ; not the contrast reach of best

Still great, but rivals leave the AE4000E wanting in certain areas

Panasonic PT-AE4000 review

Panasonic builds on its superb LCD projector line with a new red-rich lamp

Easy to set up and operate ; Wide zoom and optical lens shift range ; Lush colours ; Smooth, filmic picture ; Useful features

Boxy design ; Some forward firing fan noise ; Take care with the high frame-rate settings

An impressive projector that has a simple setup and great pictures

Panasonic PT-AE4000E

The AE4000 doesn't improve quite as much as we'd like over last year's equivalent Panasonic model, but it's easily the most flexible projector in its class. We still couldn't get totally perfect pictures out of it despite that, but it's nonetheless a...

Good picture quality ; Excellent connectivity ; Exceptional array of set-up aids ; Built-in aspect-ratio adjustment ; Good motion handling

Some features too complex for mainstream users ; Picture looks rather dark when optimised for black colour reproduction ; Slightly soft HD images

Panasonic PT-AE4000E review

Panasonic's PT-AE4000E is the successor to the Ultimate award-winning PT-AE3000E. It's just as good as you'd hope a projector this expensive to be. It has three HDMI inputs, as well as component, composite, S-Video and VGA, so you're unlikely to run...

Stunning image quality make this one of the best projectors you can get. Simply put, if you can afford it, buy it.
