Panasonic PT-AE700U High-Definition Home Cinema LCD Projector
Warning!  Defective Product!
I was happy with this projector for a year, then within two months of the one-year warranty expiring it went quickly downhill.  The power supply went bad, which made the projector nothing but a $2000 paperweight.  It's a very common problem with this model, judging from all the complaints on home-theater forums. It would power on and almost immediatly shut itself off, then try to restart over and over until the main power switch on the back of the unit got turned off.  $400.00 to fix it. Right after that, my lamp went kaput after exactly 800 hours.  So much for extending the lamp life to 3000 hours by using it in \\"low\\" mode.  I hate to think how short the life would have been if I'd have used it in \\"high.\\"<br />Unfortunately, I used my worthless Discover card to purchase this projector so I had no buyer assurance or extended warranty like I do with Visa.  Way to learn the hard way! Goodbye Discover Card!  Panasonic was no help either when I called.  They just tried to push me off on their in-bed repair facility in Kansas.<br />Never again.  I'll never buy or recommend Panasonic again after this experience.  Beware!
