- Excerpts from the 5-star Review:
- “When all is said and done, the Panasonic PT-AE7000U is a projector for the true videophile.
It certainly has a boatload of features and yes, it has remarkably clear, stable 3D performance.
But even if the AE7000 did not have 3D or a wide assortment of features, it would still stand
out as a major video engineering achievement based on the strength of its 2D picture quality
alone.” (August 16, 2011) - Note: Product numbers vary depending on the market. PT-AE7000 is the product number for areas outside of Europe, and PT-AT5000 is the product number within Europe.
