Customer Review: BEST PROJECTOR FOR THE MONEY!
Summary: 5 Stars
Hi, I have owned this projector for over a year now. Currently we have 1598 hours on our bulb, and we just ordered a new one to have as a spare when this bulb finally gives.
We use this projector to watch TV and movies. It is the only "TV" in the house and we watch movies/TV constantly (1598 hours in about a year, that says it all right there)
We have a 8 foot piece of polywall for a screen, and the room gets filtered light in the day, and we use an S-video feed for the direct tv (not hd yet!), an hdmi cable for the movies...and despite all this, the picture quality is amazing! We originally got the polywall piece from home depot as a temporary screen to use until we figured out placement and what size screen we wanted, but we have been so happy with the picture quality that we haven't gotten around to spending the money and replacing it yet. This week we are upgrading our direct tv to HD and I'm pretty stoked.
I spent months researching projectors before finally settling on this one. I am so glad I did, this projector has far exceeded my expectations in every way. Here are some of its best features:
--In terms of placement, its very flexible. I have it sitting on top of my book case in the rear of the room. I can easily zoom the picture in, make it smaller, and move it up/down/right/left. This is especially handy when switching from widescreen movies to the 4:3 TV format.
--This projector is really bright. I have the lamp on "natural" which is one the dimmest settings, and the output is good. I can see details in dark movies that I missed while in the movie theater! For example, DARK KNIGHT was AWESOME to watch with this projector because its a very very dark movie.
--I was VERY concerned about the lamp hours when I bought the projector. There was no "average" runtime given, so I was kind of expecting the bulb to go out around 700 hours. But here I am, at 1598 hours and the lamp is showing no signs of slowing down.
--The unit is very quiet. I live in a very warm climate and I was worried about having the projector mounted on my bookcase and overheating. The fan is located on the side of the projector and even after a 8 hour movie marathon, I have no problems with overheating.
Overall, I would recommend this projector to everyone. I am so glad I didn't waste money on a small plasma flat screen. My family was worried that we would be spending too much money on replacement bulbs. So far, even with our excessive use of the TV, we are only spending $350 a year on replacement bulbs. To be able to watch sports on an 8 FOOT SCREEN and have a theater style living room for movie nights, $350/year is SOOOOO worth it!
Description of Panasonic PT-AX200U 720p 3LCD Home Theater Projector
The PT-AX200 is ideal for watching sports events or playing video games in daylight conditions and surely for viewing movies in a dark room. Powerful 2,000-lumen brightness and new Light Harmonizer 2 technology make it easy for people to enjoy vibrant, dynamic images even if they don't have a special theater room. Together with the 2,000-lumens brightness, Panasonic's Light Harmonizer 2 technology produces vivid and easy-to-see images even in the kind of bright lighting that makes images from other projectors look whitish, faded or lacking in detail. The Light Harmonizer 2 circuit not only adjusts the gamma curve, but also controls the iris setting, lamp power, and picture sharpness to maintain easy, comfortable viewing at all times. The PT-AX200 features a Game mode that improves signal processing for better response, allowing you to play games with minimal stress. It also reveals gradation in saturated areas to show details that are otherwise lost in very dark areas. The Pure Color Filter was born from Panasonic's pursuit of optical technology that delivers true Hollywood picture quality. The light spectrum is adjusted to produce a level of light that maximizes the performance of the LCD panels, which expands the color range and produces truer blacks. The high definition picture of the PT-AX200 is remarkably smooth and film-like, while remaining amazingly sharp and detailed. Dynamic Iris has been refined to provide deeper, richer blacks for true image reproduction with stunning smoothness. This technology adjusts the lamp power, iris, and gamma curve according to data obtained from frame-by-frame histogram analysis of the image brightness level. The new Advanced Dynamic Sharpness Control determines image areas that need to be sharpened at varying degrees by examining small changes in brightness levels within the image. This greatly reduces noise amplification and delivers clear and natural looking images.Digital Cameras & Photo Categories
