Panasonic PT-AE1000E 1080p Projector

Panasonic cooks up a storm with the 1080p PT-AE1000E.

With the PT-AE1000E Panasonic has raised the bar, making 1080p more accessible than ever. It’s easy to setup and use, delivers wonderful detailed, natural looking pictures and with the recent price drop, it's practically a steal. If had the money and...

Panasonic PT-AE1000

These days it's just not enough to be HD Ready. If you now want to appeal to the AV cognoscenti, you need to be Full HD, with a native pixel count of 1920 x 1080. Cue Panasonic's PT-AE1000, the manufacturer's very first full HD projector

Panasonic PT-AE1000 Review

Following hot on the heels of JVC's HD1 is the Panasonic PT-AE1000 offering full HD resolution as well as some nifty image calibration tools...

Great colour reproduction ; Colour management Controls ; Waveform monitor ; Good optics ; Excellent processing ; Ease of use and set up ; Aspect ratio control for constant height set up

Disappointing black performance ; Noisy iris control which is better left off

Expert Review

If you have the cash to spend and you want the very best, the PT-AE1000 should be at the top of your shopping list. With impeccable image quality at 1080p, 1080i, 720p and SD modes we have no hesitation in recommending this unit.

Excellent image quality, Versatile lens-shift options, Remote-controlled zoom and focus, Quiet and cool operation, Learning remote.

Nothing worth noting

Panasonic PT-AE1000

To fully appreciate "full" HD you need a very big screen, so a projector, such as the Panasonic PT-AE1000, may be the best way to go to watch 1080p pictures.

Panasonic PT-AE1000

This Panasonic LCD projector offers the joys of Full HD resolution for less than you might imagine.

Image clarity, subtle colours, great black level; cheaper than other Full HD rivals

Industrial and bulky design

Panasonic PT-AE1000E

Home theatre projector Not so long ago, getting your hands on a 1080P home theatre projector would have cost you an arm, three legs and half your head. Now, thanks to Panasonic, it'll only cost you an arm. The newest addition to the Japanese giant's...

1080P displays and the extra resolution they carry have always commanded a massive price premium. While $8499 is hardly cheap, it's considerably cheaper than the competition. Sony's best-priced 1080P model is $9999, while InFocus sell its 720P IN78 DLP...
