It turns out the "main board" broke which is prohibitively expensive to repair (~$1000). Maybe I was just unlucky. Oh, and the online Panasonic customer support was essentially non-existent. Bummer, I really liked that projector, but I'm not sure I can buy another Panansonic (shortest warranty among most projector manufacturers). from Cnet.com So why give this projector 1 star if it has no weaknesses? Because I feel cheated by Panasonic for not honoring their rebate. Specifically, my purchase of this particular projector was influenced by a rebate offer of $400 cash plus a $300 Blockbuster rental card. from Pricegrabber.com So why give this projector 1 star if it has no weaknesses?

This projector's greatest strength is also it's greatest weakness. Panasonic's 3LCD technology is what essentially nullifies the screen door affect. But it also produces a slightly smoother picture than the high cost DLP projectors. from Cnet.com Savoury at Tigerdirect.ca for his help to evaluate this projector. I purchased this projector because I was not satisfied with the optoma 745, so I A-B compared with the optoma. Though the optoma 745 is a dlp single wheel presentation projector and is less money than the pananasonic PT AE900U, which is a dedicated home theatre 16-9 LCD unit. The projector has 3 glass panels, RGB and this results in rich saturated colors. from Tigerdirect.com Luckily for me, no one stole it. Profeelvideo should have Fedex require a signature when the package is delivered. I should be getting my $400 rebate along with my Blockbuster card from Panasonic this Friday. from Pricegrabber.com We have used this projector for about 4000 hours - it is fabulous Panasonic has always been helpful to us- People are very impressed with the picture it is incredible - plasma (heavy, burn out and more - now that iss a joke - I have an 80 inch picture We watch VUDU, HD direct tv and it is great. from Amazon.com I've had my Panny AE900U for 2 years now and what a projector! I clean the air filter religiously but otherwise there is really no maintenance on my unit. from Amazon.com
