High definition cinema comes home with Panasonic’s newest LCD projectors, the PT-AX200U and the PT-AE2000U.

The PT-AX200U puts you front and center for Hollywood blockbuster films, sports events or video games with up to a 174” wide (over 14.5 feet) HD image. In addition to providing 2,000-lumen brightness – the brightest in its class* – the PT-AX200U also incorporates Panasonic’s new Light Harmonizer 2 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 with gaming in mind, the PT-AX200U features a “Game” mode that improves signal processing for better response, allowing you to play video games with minimal stress. Game mode also reveals gradation in saturated areas to show details that are otherwise lost in darkness.

The PT-AE2000U features a renewed high-precision optical system to unleash the beauty of full-HD, 1080p expression with an outstanding contrast ratio of 16,000:1 and brightness of 1,500 lumens. Each lens in the full-HD compatible lens unit is carefully aligned by highly skilled technicians to assure a uniform focusing balance from the center to the edges of the screen. The resulting high-quality images are clear and free of distortion and color bleeding.

Developed especially for home theater use, no compromises were made in the development or production of the PT-AE2000U. Our Hollywood Color Tuning includes a new Pure Color Filter Pro 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-AX200U and PT-AE2000U easily integrate into your home theater system and offer outstanding setup flexibility. They can be placed on a coffee table, suspended from the 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.
