Excellent price performance. You can find a better projector but it costs more than 2X before you can see some different. For most consumers, this is an excellent projector, great colors out of the box, reasonable sharp, lot of settings can be tweaked, very quiet fan. The black is not as good as JVC RS2 (one of the best projectors) but it is good enough for most people. The project must be watched in the light controlled room or the colors will be wash-out. My understanding, this applies to all projectors except those cost $50K which have 10K lumen! Panasonic makes one of those expensive projectors (3 chips DLP projectors).

If you buy this projector, your screen should not be bigger than 110 inches or the pictures may be too dim. If you need a big pictures, buy JVC RS2. It costs 2.5X more than Panasonic.

IMO, as most electronics, it makes no sense to buy the best. The best will be obsolete in only few months.

There is no "perfect projector". So, forget to get a perfect one. If the engineers make the perfect one, nobody will upgrade the projectors in the future. Nobody will/can make a perfect projector. All projectors have the weakest and strength. AE2000U is a great projector for such low price relatively.

I am a die-hard CRT fan, but I finally had to buy a new projector to handle 1080p sources. I have never seen a fixed-pixel projector that can compete with CRT on black levels and shadow detail, but as CRTs are basically no longer produced I had little choice.

I purchased the PT-AE2000U instead of the Sony VPL-VW60 principally due to the lower price of this projector. My biggest concern in going from CRT was black levels, which is why I was looking at the Sony LCoS projectors. I never expected to even consider an LCD, but I read reviews (at trusted websites) saying this projector compares favorably to the Sony VPL-VW50 and VPL-VW100 in terms of black levels, and is better for color rendition.

I was very surprised at the shadow detail and low black level this projector is capable of producing. It's certainly better than I ever expected LCD to achieve, and in the end it was acceptable for me. While shadow detail is great, the lowest attainable black level is definitely not as dark as what I can get on my CRT (NEC XG-85, which I still have set up in my theater for direct image comparisons). I have not compared this projector side-by-side to a Sony LCoS in my theater, so I can't comment on which is better.

I am certainly satisfied in every other way with this projector. Color rendition seems perfect, no optical flaws, no screen-door effect at a viewing distance where you can discern 1080p resolution.

I just install mine, i dont know from where i start, my screen is 183" !! approx. 406cm x 227cm yes very big, distance projector to screen is about 9 meter's "27 foot" , also distance from my denon amp. to proj. is 15 meter approx."50 foot" by HDMI cable, got it from bettercables, and i would say that its eye poping, dont try DLP if you want clarity, LCD is the best, also my room is lit-up using some dimming lights, trust me, the picture quality is much much more better than what says in all review's, im still using my old dvd player , which is around $ 80 , line's, contrast, and image , all are great, i was worried because of the size of my screen, but its out of this world, i dont know how some say that its not good for big screen, i guess they are copying others review.

This is not a perfect projector, but close.

It feels like it's a hair shy of being perfect. The image is stunning but sometimes too soft, sometimes not popping out of the screen, instead it's very much 'in' the screen. It feels so close to a great movie theater screen but not quite there, almost frustrating how close it is. Maybe HD isn't there yet, and we have to wait for the upcoming ultra-HD which is 4K lines of resolution while HD is 1080... I'll be there... maybe another projector will make you not want to be there, I don't know -- I didn't audition any other projector before buying this. but make no mistake, this is a very powerful image, miles away from DVD, and excellent for home theater viewing. If you can wait five to ten years, I am sure the scene will be totally different. Sorry for bad English, Chinese is my first language.

This proj. was amazing .. i could not find this type of pic. in other proj.
