Overview
This is the first new Panasonic home theater projector since the PT-AE900U,
reviewed here
in late 2005. But the PT-AE1000U has little in common with that
earlier design. The differences are immediately obvious from the cosmetics
alone, with the new projector larger, heavier, and clearly more substantial than its
predecessors.
The new model does share the dynamic iris and a number of other features that
graced earlier Panasonics. But everything here feels much more refined. The
most obvious new feature is the PT-AE1000U's full HD, 1920x1080 resolution.
This comes by way of three of the most recent Epson C2Fine LCD imaging
chips. In short, this is an up-to-the-minute, 1920x1080, 3LCD design.
The Focus and Zoom controls are motorized. The vertical and horizontal lens
shifts are manual. The inputs include dual HDMI and component inputs, RGB on
VGA (15-pin DSUB) connector, and a serial connector for controlling the
projector remotely from a PC.
A full set of controls is located on the side of the projector, but as usual you'll
converse with it mainly through Panasonic's nicely designed, and backlit, learning
remote.
The available aspect ratios will depend on the input used and the resolution of
the source, but include, at minimum, the usual 4:3, 16:9, and Zoom modes.
There are seven selectable preset Picture Modes, each of which may be
modified from its factory presets through the Picture Adjust menu. You can save
up to five sets of picture adjustments in memories, but not separately for each
input. The settings are global over all the video inputs. But there's also a
separate set of five memories available for PC sources at most resolutions,
including an RGB HDMI feed from a computer source (HDMI for consumer video
typically is typically Y-Cb-Cr color space, or digital component video).
The picture adjustments include the usual suspects plus Color Temperature and,
in an Advanced Menu, Gamma (Low, Mid, and High), separate Contrast (high)
and Brightness (low) settings for red, green and blue, Panasonic's Cinema Color
Management system, Noise Reduction and MPEG Noise Reduction, Cinema
Reality for film-based interlaced sources, and TV-System, which selects NTSC,
PAL, SECAM, etc.
The most interesting features of the PT-AE1000U are its Waveform Monitor and
Cinema Color Management. I'll have a lot more to say about these in the full
report, but basically the Waveform Monitor, which is unique in my experience as
a video projector feature, lets you see and optimize, on screen, certain aspects of
the projector's performance. But I haven't really found it any more useful than the
test patterns and trained eyeballs I normally use for setup.
