Panasonic's first true-HD LCD projector offers 100in image at 5ft

[Bob Crabtree]

Panasonic is bringing to the UK this month the company's first LCD home cinema project to offer full high-definition (1,920 x 1,080) images.

The PT-AE1000 - which has been available in the USA for some while - is reckoned to be able to put up a massive 100in (diagonal) picture when located just 1.24 meters (5ft) from the screen and to offer an impressive contrast ratio of 11,000:1 and brightness of 1,100 lumens.

Likely price for the PT-AE1000E is around £3,500 (inc VAT) - and that, we're pleased to say, compares favourably with the tax-exclusive ticket that the PT-AE1000U carries in the USA of $6,000 (£3,040).
