Panasonic's DLP system projectors have taken another step forward. Now they produce even better images while maintaining all of their highly reliable functions. Their 5,500-lm brightness delivers crisp, easy-to-see images even in brightly lit classrooms and meeting rooms, to make presentations easier to understand.

Summary: I own a sports bar with 3 of these units installed and 2 them have failed in the first year and a half of use. Yes they are covered under warranty but they are a huge pain to remove and ship. Plus the down time while I wait for the loaner unit to show up. I expect more out of a $5,000 plus product. The replacement lamps are ridiculously priced ($750 per pair). I have had lamps fail before 2,000 hour but never last longer. I seems that the chips on the lamps shut them down at 2,000 hours regardless if they have life left in them?amazing.
Cons: Replacement lamps are garbage Panasonic does not honor warranties

Summary: I had a good experience with the PT-AE3000U projector for about 15 months as the picture was good. After 1800 hours of time on the original lamp, I purchased a replacement lamp March 2010 from MWave.com and it failed 2 months later after only 225 hours. I noticed that when I originally installed it and fine tuned it, the picture was much darker and the blacks were washed out compared to the original lamp. When it failed so soon, I contacted MWave about replacing it as it was supposed to have a 90 day warranty (still says it on the web site as of 5/13/2010). They claimed they only supported products for 30 days and that I had to go Panasonic for the further 60 day support. Panasonic said it's up to the dealer (MWave) to provide the replacement lamp. I got both parties on a conference call and all they did was to say to each other "No, it's your responsibility". So MWave and Panasonic couldn't figure out between 2 massive companies how to resolve the issue and have put the customer at the disadvantage.
Both have lost a customer for life. I had ordered many times from MWave in the past but I don't trust them nor Panasonic any more.
