Projector Reviews breaks down the best 1080p projectors
We know, trying to digest all of the 1080p projectors out at the moment is a fairly daunting task, but thankfully, the hard-working folks over at Projector Reviews took on the challenge for you. In its latest roundup of "best 1080p projectors," the Panasonic PT-AE2000U, Epson Home Cinema 1080p UB and JVC DLA-RS2 took home the gold in the entry-level, mid-range and high-end categories (respectively). Still, quite a few other beamers came exceptionally close to winning it all, so be sure and hit the read link below to figure out which one is right for you (and your budget).[Via AboutProjectors]
Hands-off with Panasonic's PT-AE2000U 1080p projector
For whatever reason, Panasonic decided to safeguard its recently unveiled PT-AE2000U projector just like JVC did with its mysterious Blu-ray player, and while we did bust out our trusty MacGyver tool in an attempt to unlock the glass case, our efforts were in vain. All jesting aside, we did our best to snap a few somewhat legible photos of Panasonic's latest and greatest 1080p home cinema projector, and while it seemed as if the company was trying to keep the area surrounding this bad boy devoid of light, trust us when we say it looked mighty luxurious.%Gallery-7061%
Panasonic intros PT-AE2000U LCD 1080p projector
Just in case Panasonic's PT-AX200U isn't really your style, the firm is apparently hoping to grab some of your hard earned cash anyway with the PT-AE2000U. This HT-centric LCD projector rocks a stunning 1,920 x 1,080 native resolution, puts out 1,500 lumens of brightness, and features a 16,000:1 contrast ratio for good measure. Sporting a subtle, black design, the projector also includes Panny's Detail Clarity Processor to sharpen up those edges, Pure Color Filter Pro, and Smooth Screen technology to "reduce the black lines between pixels." Furthermore, pro users will likely love the Split Adjust mode -- which "allows users to split the screen into two halves, one to make picture adjustments and one to see those adjustments as a baseline reference" -- and the trio of HDMI ports should keep you satisfied for the time being. No word on pricing just yet, but watch for this one to hit dealers in October.
