Panasonic PT-AE900U Home Theater Projector
Read before you buy!
This unit is outstanding if you don't mind spending $300 every quarter on new bulbs. <br />I used PT-AE900 for less than 3 months (less than 400 hours) w/ normal picture setting and fan speed...and then the bulb burned out. <br />Panasonic's tech support line is joke. I spent one hour trying to get a human being on the phone who could process my warranty. I spoke with five people and only one mentioned 3 months/500 hour warranty for the bulb. However, he was in commercial area not consumer and told me to call yet another number. <br />The bulb is SUPPOSED to last around 3,000 hours but in my case it lasted six times less. <br />If you plan on using this projector as your primary video output,  don't waste your money and spend a little more for a plasma. <br />at $1,999 this unit is a bargain until its real cost catches up - an additional $1,200 per year.
