Panasonic PT-AX100U Review
Panasonic brought the Panasonic PT-AX100U projector for a demonstration Sept. 7, 06, and everyone was shocked with how bright the projector is while maintaining a high contrast level. The room was well lit with florecent lighting and picture detail was stunning. The pictures were taken with the flash on and the image on the screen was bearly washed out. The Panasonic PT-AX100U is almost twice as bright as the Panasonic PT-AE900U. The image quality seemed quite sharper on the PT-AX100U over the PT-AE900U projector. We played some HD soccer with the room completely lit and we felt like we were watching the 103" Panasonic Plasma. The Panasonic PT-AX100U projector is much more user friendly than the PT-AE900U projector, with a push of a button the image would calibrate for a dark or light room. A favorite feature of ours added to the Panasonic PT-AX100U projector is the "Daylight View Technology." The Daylight View Technology is used on the Panasonic presentation projectors. What the Daylight View Technology does for the Panasonic PT-AX100U projector is senses the light in the room and calibrates the colors to the environment. This feature can be turned on, off, auto, or manual to use it in your calibration adjustments.

In addition to providing 2,000-lumen brightness - the brightest in its class* - the PT-AX100U also incorporates Panasonic's new Light Harmonizer technology, which produces bright, beautiful, easy-to-watch images even in a well-lit room. So you can spend the afternoon watching your favorite football team without having to close the drapes and still enjoy clear, brilliant images in crisp detail.
Developed especially for home theater use, the PT-AX100U incorporates all of Panasonic's highly acclaimed home cinema projector technologies. No compromises were made in its development or production. Our Hollywood Color Tuning includes a new Pure Color Filter developed in conjunction with David Bernstein and other top Hollywood colorist and directors of photography.** The result is technology that captures the artistic sensibilities of moviemakers with deeper, richer blacks, more vibrant color and a more dynamic overall viewing experience particularly for motion pictures.
The PT-AX100U integrates easily into your home theater system and offers outstanding setup flexibility. It can be placed on a coffee table, suspended from a ceiling or set on a bookshelf across the room from a screen. The awesome power of the large screen and the stunning detail of high definition is now ready for its big debut right in the comfort of your own home with our most impressive HD cinema projector yet - the PT-AX100U.
