Panasonic PT-AX100U

The Panasonic PT-AX100U is a near perfect addition to Panasonic's long and storied line of excellent High Definition 3-chip LCD home theater projectors.

The Panasonic PT-AX100U's $2,999 price tag is a bit hefty (much like the projector itself) but its "street price" is appreciably lower, so it still offers excellent value for an HD-compatible (720p) LCD projector. Older models of the Panasonic had a...

Panasonic PT-AX100U

On the right side (we're back to viewing the projector from the front) is the air intake for the PT-AX100U projector

Extremely bright, great for Sports and TV/HDTV, as well as movies, and can forgive low levels of ambient light when movie watching ; Excellent room placement flexibility due to 2:1 zoom and large lens shift ; Good out of the box color- though it can...

Some unevenness in illumination, with a slight shift from red to blue (left side of screen to right). Note, the review unit was just barely pre-production (according to Panasonic) ; Only 3 user saveable settings ; Warranty ; Changing lamp requires...

With the overall quality and performance of the PT-AX100U, combined with Panasonic's wide distribution, I have no trouble believing that this new Panasonic home theater projector will replace the older projector as the best selling home theater...

Review: Panasonic PT-AX100U

The Panasonic PT-AX100U is the seventh model in a line of low-cost widescreen LCD home theater projector to come from Panasonic's laboratories in under five years. Starting with the original AE100, an 854x484 projector released in January, 2002, the...

The Panasonic AX100U is the closest thing to a truly universal home theater projector we have yet seen. Its 2.0x zoom range and lens shift capabilities make it easy to place almost anywhere in the room you might want it. And its exceptional lumen...

Panasonic PT-AX100 review

Panasonic provides both price and performance to please

Good range of features ; Modest price tag

Hi-def images are less impressive

The PT-AX100 offers far more flexibility and performance than you've any right to even dream of for a low price

Panasonic PT-AX100E

The PT-AX100E is similar to Panasonic's award winning PT-AE900 -- it keeps all the excellent visuals, but this time it's twice as bright. An excellent projector for the money.

Excellent picture regardless of source. High brightness. Sophisticated, yet simple, menu system. Manual lens shift and zoom.

Limited setup options. No learning remote. Larger than competitors.

The PT-AX100E is similar to Panasonic's award winning PT-AE900, it keeps all the excellent visuals only this time it's twice as bright. An excellent projector for the money.
