Best Value Home Theater Projector November 24, 2007
This is hands down the best projector for the money. I think LCD technology is so much more stable and better technology than DLP and this unit doesn't have any "screen door" effect that is often complained of on LCD projectors. I've had mine for almost two years and love it. I have a 92" screen and HDTV looks great. My only caution is you really need a dedicated movie room for this unit with completely controlled lighting. It has a relatively low light output and you'll need to eliminate ambient light for ideal viewing. I have track lighting with a dimmer switch in a basement room and it works great. One more suggestions, use a grey screen designed for HDTV with a 1.8 gain. I recommend the "GreyWolf" series.
2 years of bliss! November 2, 2007
I've had my Panny AE900U for 2 years now and what a projector! I clean the air filter religiously but otherwise there is really no maintenance on my unit. Original bulb, no malfunctions with 440 hours logged so far. Highly recommended!
 Lamp Exploded after 170 Hours of Viewing August 2, 2007
Purchase the projector on May of 2006. From then on I watched 1 or 2 movies a week. Picture quality was just fantastic. Just few weeks ago, during the viewing, I heard loud pop, I check and it was the lamp. Since I had it for more than a year I figure I racked up enough hours for it to go dead. Put a new lamp and could not believe what I saw, Lamp was only used for 170 H. What can I say? I knew the projector seems unreasnably hot during the play so I clean the air filter once a month. My warranty expired so I am hoping that my new lamp will last longer than my first one.
Knocks your socks off! December 6, 2006

After quite a bit of research, I bought this unit and I am extremely happy. It is very easy to set up - you literally don't have to do anything except plug and play to get started. Of course, if you are so inclined there are all the menus and controls you need to optimize settings for your own situation, create multiple saved sets, etc. I don't even use a screen - just project it on a white wall! I know a screen would make it even better, but its a big win knowing that I don't have to make that investment right now. There are multiple inputs sockets of various types on the back and switching sources is easy. I'm projecting this at low power on a wall 13 feet away and getting an HDTV image nearly 10' diagonal. With the right sound system, you really have your own theater. Since this is a 2005 model, there are numerous discounts available - take time to look just in case Amazon doesn't have the best price at the moment.
