Panasonic PT-AE2000U
Home Theater Projector
Evan Powell, November 2, 2007
Panasonic's second generation 1080p projector, the PT-AE2000U, is a
significant step beyond last year's impressive AE1000. Topping its long
list of great attributes is its outstanding contrast and black level
performance. On these measurements it outperforms every other 1080p
projector we have put it up against that is anywhere near its price range.
And along with its high contrast comes excellent color saturation. Selling
at an official street price of just $2,699, it is one of the most formidable
and competitive of the new 1080p projectors released this fall.

- Page 1 ProjectorCentral.com Panasonic PT- AE2000U Panasonic's second generation 1080p projector, the PT-AE2000U, is a significant step beyond last year's impressive AE1000. Topping its long list of great attributes is its outstanding contrast and black level performance. On these measurements it outperforms every other 1080p 16000:1 Contrast Ratio projector we have put it up against that is anywhere near its price range.
- Page 2 The AE2000 and its predecessor the AE1000 are the only 1080p projectors we've seen to have absolutely no pixelation at all. This is due to the SmoothScreen filter, a feature that has been unique to Panasonic home theater projectors for some time now. For those who may have...
- Page 3 SmoothScreen filter, that concern can be put to rest. Flexibility of installation has always been a feature of Panasonic projectors. The company was the first to come to market with a 2.0x zoom lens on a home theater projector; that was on the AE700 in October, 2004.
- Page 4 Once you have selected the desired section, the projector will replicate it such that you have two identical copies side by side …… Now you can make any adjustments you want to color temperature, color saturation, brightness, contrast, or gamma. The projector will apply the adjustments you make to the image on the right side of the screen, and hold the image on the left side constant.
- Page 5 If you want more light, Normal mode will give you a much brighter image. Normal mode measured well over 900 ANSI lumens on our sample. Color balance is not quite as good as it is in the Cinema modes, but it was surprisingly satisfying—somewhat cooler, yes, but not ice cold or disturbingly green as it is on most projectors.
- Page 6 Competition Panasonic AE2000 vs. Sanyo Z2000 This head-to-head shootout between the Panasonic AE2000 and the Sanyo Z2000 compares two 1080p LCD projectors, both with extensive feature sets and aggressive prices. The salient differences are as follows: 1.
- Page 7 side, our eyes kept gravitating toward the Z2000's remarkably filmlike picture. Standard definition DVD clarity is one of the Z2000's most impressive attributes. 5. The AE2000 has powered zoom/focus, whereas on the Z2000 it is manual. Both have manual lens shift. For those setting up their projectors in a fixed location and fitting the image to a 16:9 screen, the powered zoom/focus is handy, but it will not be used much after the projector is set up and installed.
- Page 8 Conclusion With the PT-AE2000U, Panasonic has delivered another star performer in the world of home theater projectors. It edges out the competition in contrast and color saturation. It has superb color accuracy in video optmized mode, and a supremely serviceable bright operating mode that penalizes the user very little in terms of color accuracy.
