News From CEDIA 2008: Panasonic Intros New Low Cost - High-Performance 1080p Projector
Panasonic is more well-known these days for their Plasma Televisions, but they also have a heavy presence in home theater video projection. At CEDIA 2008, they have announced its new PT-AE3000, which brings high performance 1080p video projection, and professional features, to a lower price point.
On the design front, the PT-AE3000 has a plain, but functional, appearance, highlighted by its convenient center mounted lens. On the inside, this new projector features a 3-Chip LCD panel, (1920x1080) 1080p native pixel resolution 1,600 lumens output, and a stated contrast ratio of 60,000:1. In addition, "Frame Creation" technology provides 120Hz processing for 60Hz input signals or 96Hz processing for 24Hz input signals. What this means is that this projector provides smoother motion response, especially for Blu-ray Disc source material.
The PT-AE3000 also has professional features, such as split-screen adjustment comparison, and built-in waveform display, which makes it easy for home theater installers. The announced price for the PT-AE3000 is $3,499, and it is expected to become available in October, 2008.
