"We liked the image being bright and contrasty with top notch colour reproduction. We tested on some DVD's and gave it a few rounds on the xbox 360 with good performance. The only qualms we had aside from the fact that this new unit wasn't terribly revolutionary is the smoothing technology panasonic have employed from the AX100. Though the intention is to make a more fim like image we find it makes it look a tad off focus."

Last fall, with the release of the PT-AX100U, Now comes the second generation of this design, the PT-AX200U. There is nothing revolutionary about this new model—it is simply a refinement of the outstanding AX100, with a few new features.
The most impressive attribute of the Panasonic AX200U is its beautiful rendering of HD DVD and Blu-ray. During this review the phrase "poor man's 1080p projector" kept coming to mind.
A Bigger Picture Brings Images to Life!
The PT-AX200 is ideal for watching sports events or playing video games in daytime conditions and surely for viewing movies
in a dark room. Powerful 2,000-lumen brightness and new Light Harmonizer 2 technology make it easy for people to enjoy
vibrant, dynamic images even if they don't have a special theater room. Panasonic’s advanced technologies improve color
reproduction
accuracy in movies, to deliver images with a refined “Hollywood picture quality,” making this projector ideal as
the heart of a home cinema system.
2,000-Lumen Brightness—Brightest in its Class*1
Panasonic developed an extremely powerful lamp to realize an outstanding
brightness of 2,000 lumens, brightest in its class.*1
Light Harmonizer 2 Brings Crisp Picture in Various Lightings
Together with the 2,000-lumens brightness, Panasonic’s Light
Harmonizer 2 technology produces vivid
and easy to see images even
in the kind of bright lighting that makes images from other projectors
look whitish, faded or lacking in
detail. In addition, it has a built-in
ambient light sensor (ALS) that measures
the amount of light in your
room to optimize the picture quality
at different lighting conditions.*2
Light Harmonizer 2 circuit not only
adjusts the gamma curve, but also
controls iris setting, lamp power, and
picture sharpness to maintain easy,
comfortable viewing at all times.
Game Mode for Stress-Free Playing
The PT-AX200 features a “Game” mode that improves
signal processing for better response, allowing you to
play games with minimal stress. It also reveals gradation in saturated
areas to show detail that are otherwise lost in very dark areas.
Cinema 1 Mode Offers Hollywood Picture Quality
Panasonic worked with experts in Hollywood—the movie capital of the
world—to create the ideal image reproduction for viewing movies. This
allows the PT-AX200 to deliver true Hollywood picture quality, with
images that faithfully express the director’s artistic intent.
Pure Color Filter
The Pure Color Filter was born from Panasonic’s pursuit of optical technology that delivers true Hollywood picture quality. The light spectrum is adjusted to produce a level of light that maximizes the performance of the LCD panels, which expands the color range and produces truer blacks.
Smooth Screen Technology
Developed exclusively by Panasonic, this
effectively reduces the black lines between
pixels that mar picture quality. The highdefinition
picture of the PT-AX200 is
remarkably smooth and film-like, while
remaining amazingly sharp and detailed.
Dynamic Iris
Dynamic Iris has been refined to provide deeper,
richer blacks needed for true image reproduction
with stunning smoothness. This technology adjusts
the lamp power, iris, and gamma curve according to
data obtained from frame-by-frame histogram analysis
of the image brightness level.
Advanced Dynamic Sharpness Control
The new Advanced Dynamic Sharpness Control determines image areas
that need to be sharpened at varying degrees by examining small
changes in brightness levels within the image. This greatly reduces
noise amplification and delivers clear and natural looking images.
2x Optical Zoom Lens
The 2x optical zoom lens provides a wide
throw range that gives you outstanding setup
flexibility, letting you enjoy large-screen viewing
in different sized rooms. Position it on a
table in front of you, suspend it from the ceiling,
or place it on a bookshelf behind you.
Vertical and Horizontal Lens Shift
Adjust the positioning of the picture vertically
and horizontally by simply operating a joystick.
The shift range is 63% of the screen
height for vertical adjustment, and 25% of the
screen width for horizontal adjustment.
Two HDMI Inputs
Two HDMI inputs let you connect two devices,
such as a BD player and game console, at
the same time, using HDMI
cables. This eliminates the
need for an HDMI switcher.
Simple, Convenient Remote Control
The remote control is intuitively
laid out for ease of
use. The picture mode
select buttons are divided
into “Theater Room” and “Living Room” to separate
the modes into those recommended
for dark room
viewing and bright room
viewing respectively.
