Product Description
The PT-AX200 is ideal for watching sports events or playing video games in daylight conditions and surely for viewing movies in a dark room. Powerful 2000-lumen brightness and new Light Harmonizer 2 technology make it easy for people to enjoy vibrant, dynamic images even if they don't have a special theater room. Panasonic's advanced technologies improve color reproduction accuracy in movies, to deliver images with a refined "Hollywood picture quality," making this projector ideal as the heart of a home cinema system.

 I like it. July 29, 2008
Bought this over a year ago and use it quiet regularly to watch movies on. No complaints, no issue. Operates great, never had any problems. Easy to setup and arrange.
Only the 'energy saving' feature sacrifices quality of picture, but what do you expect for less light to the bulb I suppose...

I searched the internet and spent month deciding and finally bought this PJ. Well all was fine until 60 days in and 230 hrs on the bulb. Now the picture surges in and out. Panasonic tech support is only in for 6 hrs during the day so if you work like most of America you cant reach anyone. If you want a projector that is reliable I would go with a Viewsonic. have had one for 2 yrs and it has been inside outside and it still works great if only I would have know I would have purchased another. I went for the brightness but it wasnt worth the difference. The picture is fuzzy do to image technology in this unit. If you are looking for a crisp picture you wont find it here. Would not reccomend this unit to anyone.
Why and Why Not, To Buy This Projector. April 27, 2008
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
I am the lead installer for a company that installs RealHomeTheaters, so hopefully my experience can be of some help. This projector has some great features not found on all projectors in it's class.
1. Great throw ratio. ( the zoom lens on this projector allows you to throw a 120" image from as close as 11' and from as far from the screen as 22'.)
2. Brightness. ( at 2000 lumens it is one of the brightest 720p 16:9 home theater projectors in it's class. This allows you to overcome ambient light that would "washout" dimmer projectors.)
3. Lens Shift. ( give you the ability to mount the projector off camber to the screen and in most cases higher or lower than normally possible with other projectors.)
But, if you have a normal room with controlled lighting and are able to install the projector at a normal height (7 to 10' off the floor) and centered on the screen. You will not benefit from this projector. Consider the Mitsubishi HC1500 and be sure to read my review on it as well. It will give you just as strong of an end result and save you some money. Provided you do not need any of the three features above.
Hope this helps get your RealHomeTheaters off the ground!
Great Projector!! April 8, 2008

This is a Great projector for the money. I dont think you will find a better projector with out spending at least $1000 more. I bought this projector after being impressed by my buddies projector. I purchased mine for about the same price and was truly amazed by how much better the Panasonic preformed. The only downside that I can think of is that it didnt have enough HDMI ports. However; this can easily be fixed by getting an HDMI multi switch. Other than that I love it and use it everyday!!
Fantastic Home Theater Experience March 17, 2008

This projector is simply fantastic. DVD's look great and HD sources look even better. While very similar to last years model, this one has an additional HDMI input and, more importantly, is about $700 cheaper. Some benefits:
- Amazingly versatile placement options with wide zoom range and lens shift. I have this projector mounted on a shelf above my couch. This is perferable to a coffee table, and much less invasive than a ceiling mount. It's also very quiet - especially in eco mode.
- Extremely film-like "Cinema" mode right out of the box. I felt no need to calibrate this thing beyond the factory preset, although you can use a calibration DVD with color bars and adjust it yourself.
- LCD. It spite of what you might hear about DLP being more film-like, the image from the PT-AX200U is awesome. DLP projectors in this price range use a spinning color wheel which is usually louder and prone to requiring repairs. Worst DLP projectors can leave a rainbow trail / after-image detectable in a percentage of the population. Even if you can't see the rainbows, do your guests a favor and go LCD.
- Larger image and more flexible than a TV. If you're considering a plasma or LCD TV and enjoy watching movies (but don't necessarily leave the TV all the time), consider this projector. It's smaller, much easier to move, less expensive, and casts an amazing 106" image. If you have a room where you can control the light level (it doesn't have to have dark walls) this is the way to go for watching movies.
-This projector works very well hooked up to a computer. I have a Mac Mini that I use thru a DVI to HDMI converter and it works great, but you can also use a standard VGA connector. In the summer you can take it in the backyard, connect it to a laptop and project movies outside your BBQ or pool party.
