Fortunately, the Panasonic has plenty of color management controls, and should be able to
tighten that up quite a bit.
Moving to the non-movie modes:
Natural: 100IRE 7697K (very good!)
Normal: 100IRE 8427K (a bit cool, setting Color Temp to -1 works well) Normal is your
primary Preset for TV/HDTV/Sports viewing.
Game: 100IRE 9056K. Not being a gamer, I'm not sure, but suspect that the default color
temperature is too cool.
Dynamic: 100IRE 7091K. This was surprisingly warm, and would call for a minor adjustment
such as moving color temp to +1. Remember though, this mode is all about brightness, not
color accuracy. It is also very strong on greens, which, if you knock them down about halfway
to where they should be, gives you a much more perfect picture quality, while only giving up a
couple hundred lumens.
Overall, I found color saturation to be just a touch too much. However, that is easy to adjust,
but then I do most of my watching on the Firehawk whose contrast does have that tendency.
PT-AX200U Image Noise
The Panasonic does fine here. I ran the Silicon Optix HQV 1080 disk on the Panasonic. In
doing so, I was feeding a 1080p signal to the Panny, so it was converting to its native 720p.
Motion artifacts tested very well, and response was pretty fast. There were no issues with
jaggies. With the noise filter off (as I always have it when reviewing), general image noise
levels were low, lower than the typical DLP projector.
I should note that the PT-AX200U, supports 1080p 24fps, so when it has such a source, as we
are starting to see on Blu-ray discs, they do not need to use 3:2 pulldown, providing smoother
motion on movies. While almost all new 1080p projectors are supporting 24fps, many 720p
projectors do not.
One year parts and labor warranty! That's right, one year is all Panasonic includes standard,
with the PT-AX200U. About half the competition offers one year, and the rest, mostly standard
two years parts and labor. For the sake of comparison, Epson offers the best warranty, with
their similarly priced Home Cinema 400 (and its soon to be released, replacement), offering 2
years, and with a overnight replacement program for the entire two years. Now, that's a big
difference.
Before I continue my "rant", I should point out that with the launch of the PT-AX200U,
Panasonic is offering a 2 year warranty as a promotion, that ends 11/30/2007. No
way to know if they will renew it. (Don't count on this page to get updated as promotions
change, consult your friendly dealer).
There is definitely a value associated with that extra year. If you go with a 3rd party 2nd year
warranty, it will in reality, probably cost you around $100 or a little less, although a couple of
online dealers throw in a 3rd party warranty at no charge. (Don't worry, the dealer has
factored in its cost, somewhere in your total bill.). After all, as they say, "There's no such
thing, as a free lunch."
Now the important point here, is that you really should not be satisfied with a one year
warranty. Should the Panasonic, or any other home theater projector, for that matter, develop
a problem in the 2nd year, it's probably going to be an expensive one. The last thing you want
is a $600 repair bill, in year two on a $1299 projector. If you have two years coverage, and it
fails in year three, that's a whole different story. Why? Because you're probably about to buy a
