Panasonic PTAE7000U
HD Home Theater Projector

Panasonic's PT-AE7000U is their first Full HD 3D home theater projector with a 1080p (1,920 x 1,080 pixel) resolution.  The PT-AE7000U is also the world's first 3D projector to use transparent LCD panels driven at 480Hz that combined with Panasonic's original Overdrive Technology, realizes significantly low crosstalk.  Thanks to the newly-developed optical engine, which produces an incredible 300,000:1 contrast ratio and 2,000 lumens of brightness, the PT-AE7000U delivers 2D images and an immersive 3D viewing experience at home.  The optical system of the PT-AE7000U features a new 200 Watt Red-Rich Lamp and new LCD panels with larger aperture ratio for increased red luminance and brightness output.  The combination of fully-optimized Pure Contrast Plates, Pure Color Filter Pro and Dynamic Iris Pro has resulted in a 300,000:1 contrast ratio and 2,000 lumens of brightness.  This produces brighter images with excellent coloring and deep blacks with fine shadow details.  Other 3D features include 2D-3D Conversion, which converts 2D content into 3D images for 3D projection with five different 3D effect modes.

The PT-AE7000U comes rich with features for those looking to customize their home theaters.  Many Blu-ray Discs and DVDs come in aspect ratios that are even wider than the projector's 16:9 aspect ratio to match the image size (2.35:1) seen in movie theaters.  The projector's Intelligent Lens Memory feature makes it possible for the user to easily program up to six different zoom/focus positions. Automatic switching between 16:9 and 2.35:1 video content is also possible thanks to the signal aspect detection capability on the PT-AE7000U.
