Very informative review, thank you! One observation though: you describe the projector as being a "hugely tantalising product for its price point"...but how much more tantalising would it be I wonder, if we weren't being ripped-off due to tune of £750 or so by Panasonic's UK pricing? In the US, the AE4000 goes for just $1999. Even adding on VAT, we're still paying £500 over the odds.

I agree with you on the er, styling John. Perhaps its brick shaped so it can be built into the wall ;)

But seriously Panasonic get with the century! Whilst I have to admit my PJ is up there hanging from the ceiling almost invisible. I also don't want some shapely ominous leviathan hanging there like an obese spider - but many manage a semblance of some sort of style. Its just a shame that the value for money feature set does not include looks - this alone has put me off in the past...and sadly, today it continues Panasonic!

I like the design of PT-AExxxx very much. It's timeless and a little bit industrial (it feels very solid). Those piano-black plastic PJs will look totally horrible after a few years.

Hi,

How can you give this a 9/10 for value, when the same projector retails for under $2000 in the US?

Great Review I plan to purchase a projector in the coming months and hopefully the price might have dropped by then .I see Richer Sounds at this moment selling this projector for £1899.95. Keep a close eye to there website, price might even drop further.Gerald

Although the AE4000 still has room for improvement and leaves Epson plenty of wiggle room to justify charging significantly more for its TW5500 flagship LCD projector, Panasonic has undoubtedly delivered some really key improvements over the AE3000. Couple its better pictures with its now enormous feature count, in fact, and the AE4000 is a unique, almost crazily flexible and hugely tantalising product for its price point - provided, at least, that you can house it in a room dark enough not to expose its slight lack of brightness during dark scenes.

9/10
