The Panasonic PT-AE7000U is the company’s first 3D projector for home theaters. Using the 3LCD projection system, the PT-AE7000U projects at native 1080p to support both 2D and 3D performance.

Brighter than Most

Rated at about 2,000 lumens, Panasonic’s PT-AE7000U is 25 percent brighter than most 1080p 3D projectors of the same price. Brightness is a big deal when it comes to 3D considering 3D glasses significantly diminish the light you see. The added brightness also makes the projector suitable for placement in essentially any room in the house.

Superb Image Quality

Panasonic has always been committed to providing superior picture quality and the AE-7000U is no exception. Crisp quality, smooth colors, and sharp images contribute to superb picture quality meant to mirror the director’s initial intent and vision.

Great 2D and 3D

While the 2D features on the PT-AE7000U are exceptional, the stand-out is the 3D functionality. A dual core video processor and a refresh rate of 480 Hz allow the PT-AE7000U to bolster 3D performance. An on-board calibration system helps you fine tune the slightest colors and details to bring out the best picture. The PT-AE7000U even allows you to convert 2D to 3D in real time.

Eco Mode: 5,000 Hours!

Panasonic rates the PT-AE7000U lamps for 4,000 hours at full power. In Eco mode, the lamps can last as long as 5,000 hours. This means a low cost of overall operation compared to projectors in the same price range.

If you’re looking for a projector that has 3D capability, great image quality, brightness, and eco mode, the Panasonic PT-AE7000U is a top contender to consider. Measuring 18.5 x 14.34 x 5.94 inches and weighing 19.2 pounds, the projector isn’t the most compact or portable, but it works great as a stationary home projector mounted on the ceiling or set on a table.
