In the world of Technology there is always something new

A few months ago I started looking at a few projectors as the next step in the evolution of my Home Theatre setup. At that stage one of the front runners was the Panasonic PT-AE700. However that is all about to change, as is always the case with technology new versions come out at an every increasing rate an the Panasonic PT-AE700 has now been replaced by the Panasonic PT-AE900. The new projector boasts a contrast ratio of 5500:1 with a native HD panel. According to the digital producer the people at Panasonic have put a lot of effort into making the picture look just right.

The company and Hollywood Colorist David Bernstein (Molin Rouge, Unfaithful, Phone Booth) got together three years ago with the predecessor to the PT-AE900, the AE700. For example, Bernstein took issue with the way the AE700 was outputting blacks, and Panasonic engineers worked to correct this with the AE900. The practice in getting a colorist to work with Panasonic to develop a projector is based on Panasonic 's goal to ensure that the color fidelity that the viewer sees via the projector is as close as possible to what the director of the film intended.

As the Panasonic PT-AE700 was placed as one of the best projectors on the market for film like pictures it's successor should be very impressive.
