Novo projector Panasonic AE700

First, consider the Panasonic AE700. This is a 1280x720 resolution projector rated at 2000:1 contrast and 1000 ANSI lumens. If you are a new reader to this site, 2000:1 contrast represents a new and vital breakthrough in LCD contrast performance. The increase in contrast is achieved in part through a dynamically reconfiguring variable aperture (iris), that adjusts itself to the brightness level of the image on a frame by frame basis. Practically speaking, it means you get better color saturation, shadow detail, and black levels than ever before from LCD technology. Furthermore, the AE700 appears to beat every other projector under $10,000 in one extremely remarkable way: pixel structure is almost invisible. Standing 12 inches from a 100" diagonal screen, the pixel structure is barely detectable. We did not expect that an LCD projector would ever outperform a high resolution DLP product in the area of pixelation, but last weekend we saw it live.

In addition, a variety of other features have been incorporated into the AE700--a 5000 hour lamp life, extremely low fan noise, horizontal and vertical lens shift, and an HDMI interface. It also has an extremely long 2.0x zoom range that lets you achieve a 100" diagonal image from a throw distance of anywhere from 10 to 20 feet. That means it will fit into a wide variety of different viewing room environments. But perhaps most importantly, it has an advanced 10-bit color processing system that is capable of producing over one billion colors rather than the typical 16.7 million, which is extremely rare on products in this price range. Thus it can deliver more realistic, natural color than was achievable on earlier generation products. Overall, we thought last year's entry from Panasonic, the AE500, was a great machine for the money. This one appears to be a thorough transformation of the AE500, improving upon it in virtually every important respect. The AE700 is expected to ship in the next four to six weeks. We will review it as soon as possible.

Se o 500 já era (é!) tão interessante, este deverá ser mesmo muito "apetitoso".

Eu estava indeciso entre o 500 e o Z2. Este já tem lens shift (que me dava MUITO jeito) e tem um zoom excelente que me permite ter o projector bastante afastado sem a imagem ser demasioado grande. Assim, deve ser esta a compra.
Estou à espera de preços mas provavelmente vou esperar uns meses para que baixe de preço.

MAs dando um salto ao link apresentado, dá para perceber que o 700 não será para já o substituto do 500 - o preço é quase o dobro (2.995 USD), pelo que é de esperar que o 500 continue por cá durante algum tempo.

No avs foruns era referido por alguém que dava idea ser vendedor de que o 500 estava em fim de stocks e que o 700 seria pouco mais caro do que o 500 actualmente.
Em Uk já vi à venda por £1550 já com uma tela. E no UK os preços não costumam ser dos melhores. Por isso talvez não seja tão caro.

Espero, de resto, que dê para ve-lo no AudioShow
