Panasonic PT D4000E

Advantages: Works in relatively bright conditions, quiet
Disadvantages: unreliable, very big, short bulb life

...Updated review. I have been using the Panasonic PT AX 100E as my main TV, in conjunction with a freeview box and a DVD player, for just over a year now. I paid £900 for it then, but the price has dropped and even the improved PT AX200 can now be bought for about £700. The reason for the low rating is because of it's unreliability and Panasonic's inability to fix it when it went wrong, as described below. In all other respects it is a very good projector. The picture quality is extremely good in a dark room and quite watchable during the day even with the curtains open for all but the darkest movies. In bright conditions the colours can become a little washed-out although there are various viewing options on the remote control to compensate a little. For some very dark films however you should wait until the room can be blacked out... Read review

Advantages: No screen door effect, high contrast ratio, cinema colour, quiet, all the inputs you need
Disadvantages: there really are no significant disadvantages

...The Panasonic PT-AE900 projector is the latest and most impressive projector in the award winning PT-AE series. It is a true high definition progressive scan 16:9 projector with a native resolution of 1280 by 720. This liquid crystal display projector challenges the picture quality; smoothness and contrast of the more expensive digital light processing models. The on screen image can truly be described as cinema quality. Here are some of the features: 1100 ANSI Lumens brightness 25 db operating noise 5500:1 contrast ratio 720p resolution +/- 30% keystone vertical correction Manual zoom Manual focus Min 1.2m to max 12.4m projection distance Front / Rear / Ceiling projection Joystick for horizontal and vertical lens shift 3.6kg 335 by 95 by 270mm (w/h/d) dimensions 100-240V Mains power 180 W consumption (<1W in standby...

Advantages: High quality, fast, easy to use,long-lasting cartridges
Disadvantages: Very occasional paper jams

...heavy and bulky, and is marketed as a desktop printer. If, like us, you have no need for a colour printer and don't want to be replacing cartridges every couple of months, then this Panasonic printer is one that I'd definitely recommend. It comes with a standard one year On-Site warranty which Panasonic call their Bronze Service Agreement. We've never had to use this which I suppose says a lot. Panasonic is a name that most people associate with quality. As well as this printer, we've had TVs and videos made by them and have never had any problems at all. If or when we need a new printer, I'd have no hesitation in buying another Panasonic one. So there you have it. My first ( and probably last ) computer-related review. Hope it's been useful ! www.panasonic.co.uk Thanks for reading.... Read review
