    and it performed much better than the original pre-production projector written about here. Please be sure to read the Update, as it sheds important new light on this projector. In fact, the 2nd PT-AE1000U has caused us to reconsider our overall opinion, and we have now awarded this Panasonic projector our Hot Product Award! Read more

    F or several years, Panasonic has been leading the charge to make high performance front projection technology affordable and accessible to the masses. Speaking as a prior owner of the PT-AE300 and a current owner of the PT-AE900, I was just as eager as everyone else to see what Panasonic could do with 1080p. Well friends, the wait is over. The PT-AE1000U is Panasonic’s first native 1080p LCD front projector and it’s a stunner. Read more

    None of the differences I saw with the other projectors that passed through my home theater while the Panasonic was under review were at all obvious without viewing them either side-by-side with, or immediately after, the Panasonic. In fact, I lived with the Panasonic for several weeks when it was the only quality projector available to me, and not once was I less than delighted by its picture. The Panasonic's picture has a very film-like, natural, and non-digital look.... Read more

    Remember, you can always invest more money, to buy more performance. The PT-AE1000U isn't going to be the best 1080p projector out there, but it is certainly the least expensive to date, and that translates into a real value. Read more
