This review is from: PT-AE2000U LCD HD Proj 16K:1 1500 Lumens Hdmi/component/svid/ser (Electronics)

I installed this PJ about 4 weeks ago and the picture continues to delight me. A huge upgrade from my last Sanyo PLV-70 projector, which was a star in its day. This picture is flimlike, no pixelation to be seen, and enough contract and brightness for any screen. I find LCD "warmer" than DLP and choose to stick with LCD again. I project on a 120" Da-Lite High Contrast Cinemavision and a throw distance of about 16 1/2 feet. HD sources are eye popping, even SD is great with good sources (DVD especially nice). A nice surprise is how quite this PJ is, very low fan noise. Finally, the price point is amazing, it is roughly 1/2 of what I paid for my last PJ alomost 5 years ago!

Just upgraded from the PTAE1000U which I only had for a month, prior to that I've had a Sony HS-10 for 4 years. The picture on the 2000U is outstanding in comparison to both! I'm projecting onto a 120" screen with minimal zoom adjustment and feeding it with signal from a Tivo Series 3, Scientific Atlanta 8300, and upscaling DVD -- the HD-DVD is on order.

While the physical size of this projector is on the large-side, it is designed to make placement very easy with the horizontal and vertical lens adjustment that doesn't require any keystoning. It also vents out the front so it is ideal for putting on a shelf against a back wall of a room.

Bought the PT-AE2000U before Christmas for $2699. Have it ceiling mounted from a 9 foot suspended ceiling in my basement and projecting on a 160" Drywall painted a neutral gray from a 18 foot distance. Have it hooked to a Panny BD30 Blu-ray player. Amazing picture quality as expected from Panasonic. Watching Blu-ray in 1080p is sheer delight. Even on such a large screen - no issues with brightness, or loss of details. Very accurate, sharp, crisp and rich colors. Sometimes the picture quality seems better than even the ones at cinema theaters. I am running it on Eco-mode and at Normal picture setting. Color and Cinema settings also look great. Plenty of lumens and clarity. Go Get it !! Don't think twice :-)
