Superior Image Quality in Any Ambient Light The PT-AX200U projector produces bright, eye-catching images, buoyed by its 220-W UHM™ lamp and optical unit that combine to generate 2,000-lumen brightness. It also incorporates Panasonic's improved Light Harmonizer 2 image technology, which measures ambient light and adjusts the image brightness by controlling not only the gamma curve, but also the iris setting, lamp power, and picture sharpness to maintain bright, crisp and vivid pictures under any lighting condition.
Gaming Mode The PT-AX200U ships with a new gaming mode so consumers can enjoy playing their favorite video games. According to the Entertainment Software Association, game software sales reached approximately 240 million units during 2006 and Panasonic is poised to begin capturing this market. Compared with Panasonic's prior model, the new projector's gaming mode improves signal processing for 1/3 faster response time, using the controller buttons. Gamers can also program and save up to eight settings for games or movies, making it easy to view the content as they wish. In addition, picture quality characteristics have been specifically tuned to reveal more image details that were previously not as visible in very dark or over-saturated areas that are prevalent in many games.
The PT-AX200U's Pure Color Filter uses optical adjustment to achieve accurate color reproduction, going a step further than conventional projectors that reproduce colors by adjusting the white balance. The color filter achieves a higher purity level of the three primary colors - red, green and blue - displays deeper, purer blacks, and significantly expands the color gamut. In addition, the new Smooth Screen technology uses crystal double refraction to arrange pixels on a screen with no gaps in between them - producing vivid, smooth images found in commercial movie theaters. The technology also enhances images' three dimensional effect for a completely immersive viewer experience.
The new home theater projector's Cinema Color Management feature allows the users to control color correction of up to approximately 1,070,000,000 colors to create images to their liking. The users can now store up to eight adjustment settings into the memory with custom names.

Great Midrange Projector

I'm extremely happy with this purchase. I have owned this projector for over a year now and I still get great compliments on the picture quality. Even at 720 with Satellite, or 480 with DVD's this projector displays a great image. You will also find that this projector is very easy to set up.
My only complaint is that the unit is a bit large so if your looking to have your projector out of site check the measurements. Also, the projector does not have dedicated IR commands for selecting video sources. This can make programming a universal remote a little tricky because your only option is to scroll through the inputs. Of course this is not a problem at all if you have a good audio system because you will most likely only have 1 HDMI cable going to the unit anyways.
Pros:
Excellent Picture Quality
Great Value
Cons:
Somewhat Large
No dedicated IR commands for Video Selection.

PT AX200U A excellent projector
By Daniel from Lancaster, PA on October 19, 2009
I would recommend this item to a friend.
Comments:
This projector is only 720P, however when paired with my Sony BluRay player it is a excellent movie projector. I find the video to be extremely sharp and crisp and provides excellent colors with out any calibration. I personally use the Cinema1 mode and love it. For the price it is a great projector and will be very comparable to any 1080P projector. Great product.
Pros:
Excellent picture for 720P.
Video is clear and colors are very accurate.
