We use this in a church service every Sunday. It accepts almost any kind of input. Looks great. Changing input devices though is a little complicated.

Comments about Panasonic PT-F200NTU LCD Multimedia Projector:
Pros: 3500 Lumens, bright enough to see from the doors to the sanctuary (~60') w/ all lights on and blinds raised. Huge improvement over previous projector. Email notifications, the ARF (Auto Rolling Filter) and the sealed cover over the lens make this nearly maintenance free. No more climbing a 20' ladder to check the filter! Wasn't sure how long the ARF would last, but it will "email a warning when it has 240 hours left". Network capabilities will greatly improve our options for connecting guest speaker's laptops.
Cons: VGA connection seems to be slightly soft (possibly need to increase resolution) Network connection (at 100mbs) is nice and sharp, works well for PowerPoint, but movies have a slight stutter. Haven't tested at Gigabit speeds yet. As with my home projector (PT-AE900U) the manual lens shift is a bit sticky. Understandable to keep it from drifting over time, but does take some work to get it exactly where you want it. Get it close, then use the software lens shift to get it precise.
One thing to note on the networking; I found one setup that I can't get working with the provided software. When you have a wireless connection from PC to Router, and wired connection from router to projector the software wants to disconnect from the router and create an Ad-Hoc connection (wireless) directly to the projector. This does work, but wasn't what I was hoping for.
Overall for the price point and features this is an excellent projector and I am very happy with my purchase. Thanks B&H!
