Panasonic PT-AE2000U LCD Projector
Reviewer: UltimateAVmag.com01 June 2008I don't normally like dynamic irises because I usually see their effect in pumping black levels, but the PT-AE2000U had no such problem—in fact, I preferred the picture with the dynamic iris engaged, which lowered the black level and raised the peak white level. Even so, the light level was a little lower than ideal, even on a 72-inch-wide screen. It worked well in a totally dark room, but any ambient light at all totally washes out the picture. The Panasonic's colors... Read more

Panasonic PT-AE2000U LCD Projector
Reviewer: Home Theater16 April 2008Panasonic has been making pro video projectors for years, but its first home theater projector to catch my eye was the PT-AE700U. Both that model and its follow-up, the PT-AE900U, were competent 720p LCD designs in deceptively small, businesslike black boxes that offered good value for the money. Read more

Sanyo, I never meant to hurt you. A man can love two projectors, right? But seriously folks, the key point here is that we have entered the age of outstanding, affordable 1080p home theater projectors. I'm pleased that I was able to do a head-to-head comparison of the Sanyo and the Panasonic, and both projectors produced mind-blowing images. The Sanyo, after some calibration, can give the Panasonic a run for its money – particularly in smaller, darker viewing areas ... Read more

I had the opportunity to actually purchase this projector and the Sanyo PLV-Z2000 at the same time in order to decide which one best suited my needs. After about 3 hours, I decided on the AE2000. I found it was much brighter in its best picture modes and with the bulb in eco-mode mode (whereas the Sanyo is comparable in brilliant cinema only and with bulb set to normal - but the projector ran a bit louder and much hotter), had slightly better blacks and overall better...
