  1. Panasonic PT-AE1000U 1080p Home Theater Projector Review: Overview

    Reviewer: Projector reviews
    29 November 2006

    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

    Reviewer: UltimateAVmag.com

    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

    "...the Panasonic has forgettable blacks, yet does everything else extremely well and should be considered for audition if you are looking to go full HD with your next projector" Read more

    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

    This is my very first experience with a front projector; I have been using an old Sony CRT TV so the picture quality is obviously much better. I was told I wouldn't see a difference between 1080 and 720 so I went with the Panasonic projector. I'm not an expert but the resolution looks good to me. I have the projector ceiling mounted and it looks really good in a home theater room. I hired someone to set it up and it seemed easy. The manual is a bit cumbersome to go... Read more

    I did a ton of reasearch before i bought this unit. I have been a Sony person for most of my life. This is the first Panasonic product that I have ever owned. I only bought it at the time it was rated best in class and was $1000 cheaper than the equivalent Sony. My rating is good unit - BUT protect yourself .... BUY an extended warranty (3 or 4 years) for this unit. I have had an early failure now which has me cursing that i did not buy it. The unit has not malfunctioned... Read more
