The PT-AE7000U HD 3D Home Cinema Projector from Panasonic maximizes the image quality of the full-HD content in Blu-ray discs and HD broadcasts for large screen viewing, and adds a newly engineered red rich lamp and optical system that achieves a 300,000:1 contrast ratio and 2000 lumens of brightness.

The incorporation of the red rich lamp increases the luminance efficiency of the projector, to achieve 150% brighter cinema picture modes compared to its predecessor. Prior to the development of the red rich lamp, much brightness was lost to attain the desired color purity/balance for the rich color reproduction of cinema picture modes due to the lack of red luminance.

A variety of advanced signal-processing technologies, beginning with Detail Clarity Processor 3 and Frame Creation2, push the performance level of the LCD projector to an entirely new level of picture quality and provide viewers with the true beauty of full-HD images. Detail Clarity Processor 3 brings greater clarity and sharpness to details, by reproducing fine nuances that were lost due to image compression. After a two dimensional analysis of the video signal's frequency in each scene, the new circuit optimizes the sharpness of each image portion based on the extracted information. The resulting images have a more natural, lifelike expression than those of previous image-processing methods.

Frame Creation2 offers a double-speed display (120Hz or 100Hz) greatly improves the clarity of motion images. Frame Creation2 interpolates one new frame for each existing frame by analyzing the characteristics of the adjacent frames to reproduce sharp and clear images for fast moving.

Finally, Panasonic works from every angle to minimize environmental impact in the product design, production and delivery processes, and in the performance of the product itself over its life cycle.

Red Rich Lamp
The incorporation of the new red rich lamp increases the luminance efficiency of the projector, to achieve 150% brighter cinema picture modes compared to its predecessor. Prior to the development of the red rich lamp, much brightness was lost to attain the desired color purity/balance for the rich color reproduction of cinema picture modes due to the lack of red luminance. The newly engineered lamp successfully adds red luminance, and enables the projector to produce brighter images with excellent colors. With the ability to produce a stunning brightness of 2000 lumens, the PT-AE7000U unleashes the beauty of full HD expression for viewing on various screen sizes
Full HD Optimized Optical System
To assure maximum clarity and sharpness in full HD images, this advanced optical system employs a full-HD-optimized lens unit comprising of 16 lens elements in 12 groups, including two large diameter aspherical lenses and two high-performance ED (extra low dispersion) lenses. Each lens is carefully aligned to assure a uniform focusing balance from the centre to the edges of the screen. As a result, the PT-AE7000U produces stunningly clear and beautiful images
Pure Contrast Plates Deliver High 300,000:1 Contrast Ratio
The pure contrast plates in the PT-AE7000U use a newly engineered crystalline material that is carefully matched to the characteristics of the LCD panels to effectively correct the passage of light exiting the panels. This enables the projector to block unwanted light leakage and successfully increases the dynamic range. It works together with the dynamic iris to achieve an astounding contrast ratio of 300,000:1
480Hz Compatible LCD Panels
The PT-AE7000's full-HD LCD panels provide more brightness with higher aperture ratio. The panels are also designed for 480Hz processing capability for brighter 3D image. These high-precision panels use vertically aligned liquid crystal molecules with inorganic alignment layers. When no voltage is applied, the molecules are aligned perpendicular to the glass substrate, so there is minimal light leakage, providing higher contrast
Pure Color Filter Pro for Rich, Vibrant Colors
The optical filter optimizes the light spectrum from the UHM projector lamp, helping to produce deeper blacks while improving purity levels in the three primary colors (red, green and blue). This advanced filter system improves color purity to cover a range that extends from the HDTV standard (Rec. 709 mode) to the color gamut used in digital cinema. This gives images the deep, rich coloring that distinguishes movie images
Smooth Screen Technology Creates Film-Like Texture
While many LCD projectors suffer from a chicken wire effect, Panasonic's pursuit of the highest possible image quality has successfully overcome this device limitation through the incorporation of smooth screen technology. This uses the double refraction property of crystals to arrange pixels on a screen with no gaps between them. Smooth screen technology is designed to give you the kind of smooth, vivid, and three dimensional images you see in movie theaters
Dynamic Iris Adds Beauty to Both Dark and Bright Scenes
The fifth generation intelligent iris system works by analyzing the brightness level of each image using a histogram, then adjusting the lamp power, iris and gamma curve accordingly to create the ideal image. The adjustments are made virtually frame by frame. This helps the projector achieve a wide dynamic range with swift smoothness for added beauty in both dark and bright scenes
Full-HD LCD Panels Enhance Motion Response
The PT-AE7000U's full-HD LCD panels have a double speed drive capability that improves the projection clarity of moving images. These high-precision panels use vertically aligned liquid crystal molecules with inorganic alignment layers. When no voltage is applied, the molecules are aligned perpendicular to the glass substrate, so there is minimal light leakage and the substrate remains black (called normally black operation), providing higher contrast
Smooth Screen Technology Creates Film-Like Texture
While many LCD projectors suffer from a chicken wire effect, Panasonic's pursuit of the highest possible image quality has successfully overcome this device limitation through the incorporation of smooth screen technology. This uses the double refraction property of crystals to arrange pixels on a screen with no gaps between them
Frame Creation2 Featuring Motion Blur Reduction
A double speed display (120Hz or 100Hz) greatly improves the clarity of motion images. Frame Creation2 interpolates one new frame for each existing frame by analyzing the characteristics of the adjacent frames to reproduce sharp and clear images for fast moving scenes in sports and action movies. For 24p signal input, three frames are calculated and interpolated for each existing frame, to enable 4x speed (96Hz) display. There are four modes (mode 1, mode 2, mode 3, and off) to choose from. The effect is more pronounced as you ascend through the modes, to provide crisp, clear images to your liking
Waveform Monitor for Precise Calibration
When the output level of the source device fluctuates due to the performance of the device or its cable connections, the original black and white levels of the image content cannot be reproduced. With the PT-AE7000U you can view the waveforms on the screen and adjust the settings both automatically and manually as you prefer
16-Bit Gamma Correction for Natural Gradations
The PT-AE7000U handles up to 16-bit (full 12-bit) digital image processing. It faithfully reproduces even subtle hues and brightness variations
Advanced Gamma Adjustment Function
The gamma curve can be flexibly controlled, allowing precise calibration according to the signal source and environment. Brightness Y, R, G and B can each be adjusted at any nine points. Adjustment point positions can be shifted both horizontally and vertically to bring out the desired gradation level
New Cinema Color Management Premium Enables Flexible Color Control
This color correction system enables free color control in two different modes. The Point Color Correction mode lets you pick a point in the image and adjust that color without affecting the neighboring colors, so it is easy to get just the right color equalization in hue, luminance and saturation. The six color correction mode enables independent adjustment of red, green, blue, cyan, magenta and yellow
Split Adjust Mode for Easy Picture Adjustment
You can freeze any scene you wish, and then make adjustments while easily comparing the original image and the adjusted image side-by-side
Intelligent Lens Memory with Auto Detection
Up to six settings can be stored in the lens memory, including zoom and focus positions for projecting in the normal 16:9 or 4:3 image ratio, and wide cinema projection settings. These memories can be recalled manually or can be set for automatic switching. The projector is able to detect 2.35:1 and 16:9 sources and retrieve the stored setting automatically. This lens memory function lets you easily enjoy images with different image ratios on a wide 2.35:1 screen for an immersive movie theatre-like experience
2x Optical Power Zoom/Focus and Wide Lens Shift Range
A 2x optical power zoom/focus lens and a lens shift function together make it possible to project a 120-inch picture from as close as 11´10. (3.6 m) to the screen or as far as 23´7. (7.2 m) away. In addition, the image can be shifted ±100% vertically, and ±40% horizontally. This gives you outstanding setup flexibility. If you choose to ceiling-mount the projector, you can zoom and focus by remote control
VIERA Link for Easy Operation
The PT-AE7000U supports VIERA Link. If your home theatre system contains VIERA Link-ready equipment, projection can be started by using only the remote control unit of the PT-AE7000U, regardless of whether the source is a Blu-ray Disc or a TV program stored on an HD recorder. This eliminates the need for hassling with several remote controls
Programmable 12V Trigger for Automated Theater Setup
Two 12V triggers are provided. Since the input and output can be set independently (menu selectable), they can link with powered screens, room light and powered curtains. When combined with the intelligent lens memory, they let you create a truly classy home theater
HDMI with x.v.Color Deep Color
The PT-AE7000U has three HDMI input terminals for digital transmission without image degradation. The HDMI input terminals also support deep color and the x.v.Color space of the HDMI 1.3 standard. Deep color provides 10-bit (over 1.07 billion) and 12-bit (over 68.7 billion) color depths for smooth gradation between colors, while x.v.Color compliance reproduces natural, lifelike images
Newly Developed Dual Core Processing Engine
High quality 2D image processing, including Frame Creation2 and detail clarity processor, can now be enjoyed in 3D as well, with the incorporation of the newly developed dual core processing engine
Detail Clarity Processor 3 Gives Natural Clarity to Even the Finest Details
This digital image processing circuit brings greater clarity and sharpness to details embedded in the image. After analyzing the video signal frequency in each scene, the circuit optimizes the sharpness of each part of the image based on the extracted information. The resulting images, 3D or 2D, have more natural, lifelike expression than those of previous image-processing methods
3D Picture Balance with Waveform Monitor
The projector is able to show the right and left image side-by-side to check if the two sides have the same colors. The difference may occur due to poor content quality. With the waveform monitor displayed, you can adjust the contrast, brightness, color and tint as desired, and up to three adjustment settings can be stored in memory for instant recall
Built-in 3D Infrared Transmitter
The PT-AE7000 comes equipped with a built-in transmitter with maximum transmission distance of 20' (6 m). For more range up to 33' (10 m), an optional infrared transmitter, ET-TRM110 is available for greater installation flexibility
3D Viewing Monitor for Adjustment of Depth-of-Field
The projection size for viewing 3D images can be selected from among nine different sizes, ranging from 40-200" (1-5 m) diagonally. The amount of parallax is optimized according to the projection size, so comfortable, easy-to-view 3D images can be enjoyed at any size. Furthermore, the 3D viewing monitor makes sure the field of depth is within the comfortable zone by a graphical representation and make adjustments accordingly
Simple Maintenance
For easy maintenance, you can replace the filter from the side and the lamp from the top of the projector. The dust filter and lamp are easily replaced even after the PTAE7000U is installed on the ceiling
Intelligent Power Management System for Eco-Friendly Power Consumption
The PT-AE7000U realizes an extremely low standby power consumption of 0.08W, lowest in its class. In addition, the PT-AE7000U's main power consumption is reduced by as much as 10% when the dynamic iris function is operating because it intelligently determines the necessary power output of the projector by analyzing over 3 billion different image patterns, to optimize and eliminate excessive power consumption. LSI chip integration further lowers the PT-AE7000U's main power consumption, making it an eco-friendly projector

    I have been waiting for an affordable 3d HD projector and the Panasonic seemed like a good bet. I watched a regular 2D blu-ray first and i was blown away by the picture quality. Now on the other hand I think it will be another generation or two until the home 3D technology catches up.

        Mounted on a shelf in a dedicated home theater room. Images are brilliant, even in economy mode. Mated to a Stewart 16:9 Filmscreen StudioTek 130 G3 (123" diagonal). Very easy to set up, and very quiet to operate (in eco mode). I haven't tried the 3D mode yet, but 3D is only a secondary consideration for me. I would have preferred a white chassis, so that it would call less attention to itself when it's not on. But that is just nitpicky.

          Comments about Panasonic PT-AE7000U HD 3D Home Cinema Projector:

          I decided to purchase the AE7000 after reading numerous reviews online. The like priced Epson 5010 looks like a strong product as well, but a few reviewers mentioned an input delay between video game controllers and images. While my personal preference is movies, my kids love video games. They have zero issues with the AE7000 (besides finding the "off" switch!). I plan to build a new home theater around the AE7000. We've been sizing up the image on our basement wall before choosing a permanent screen. We're projecting a 119" diagonal (104" wide) 16:9 image on poured concrete (painted with gray drylok). The image is amazing. We've used blu-ray DVDs, Netflix, and cable TV - all thru a Yamaha receiver over HDMI. I haven't tested the 3D yet because the glasses are sold separately. The projector has a lens memory feature that supports multiple zoom/focus presets - this should be useful for filling our screen with different formats. Setup was simple. This is my 2nd large purchase from B&H and I'm very satisfied with the experience.

              I would like to tell you about this Projector to anyone who are looking for a brand new projector with the Affordable Price in the market, The Panasonic PT-AE7000U 3D Projector, I personally own two projectors. And i was very happy with the performance and quality of the picture that the projector provides, i can now convert the 2D video into 3D video which is the top technology you can get with this projector, it's very easy to set up and it provides the analog to rotate the Lamp and Zoom and Focus with your finger tip.

              I wish the projector comes with the option where it can detect the size of the video then it can adjust the video to full screen.

              Thank you

                I got this projector and it shoots about 18 feet to a 133" diagonal screen. Like many I do not have a multitude of projectors sitting side-by-side to compare, but the picture is absolutely great. I read others reviews and have not been disappointed. I have it ofset about 30% left of center due to my room arrangement and the whole screen is still in focus and level. No complaints, just great movies. Now if I can just get my wife to leave the phone in the hallway!

                  I was worried about purchasing a projector on-line without ever having watched it. I also was not sure about B&H. The projector is great. HD is very clear on my 100" screen without any issue for gaming or watching fast action. The projector is very quite as well. I had no problems with B&H, they shipped quickly and kept me in the loop during the entire transaction. Nothing bad to say.

                  I was in the market for a new home theatre projector this year. After reviewing the summaries on all the new models this year, I finally decided on the PT-AE7000. Of course, I never believed all the hype written by the trade journals and video/audio magazines. So, I lowered my expectations. Well, I was terribly wrong. This is probably the best home theatre projector on the market under $4000, and more than likely one the best units on the market under $7000.

                  I am extremely satisfied with the unit. If I had to complain about something it would have been nice if Panasonic had included a pair of 3D glasses with the unit. It would have made the cost easier to justify to the Banker...my wife. :-)

                    It was time to upgrade to a 1080P projector and it's been a year since I purchased a Panasonic 3D Plasma. Well I knew it was just a matter of time before the 3D Projector in my price range was going to be for sale. Panasonic once again has met my needs. The glass's (first version) work perfectly so I didn't have buy a newer model. Just pull the trigger on this one.
