Z3's color saturation is maximized and black level is marginally better than the AE700
clean

simpler and more effective
The combination of these features works remarkably well
contrast performance is noticeably improved over previous generations of LCD projectors
AE700 provides a unique solution
low fan noise and outstanding image quality
The menu is intuitive and easy to use
optical system is good for a 1
000 ANSI Lumens output

the presence of a limited amount of ambient light
mounting will often require more lens shift to hit the desired screen location
scaling of standard definition material looked a bit soft
AE700 is inherently brighter than the Z3
the image is not as high in contrast and color saturation
completely cut off all light when drawn
no DVI connector
the remote doesn't give you direct access to video inputs
slightly soften those edges
Beauty is on the inside
Color is so often overlooked on projectors
slight steps and a little noise
the black background may seem darker
scaling of standard definition material did not look as crisp as one would like
Failure to do so will shorten lamp life
pixelation artifacts can still appear on occasion

Panasonic PT-AE700U LCD Projector

Beauty is on the inside. We've reviewed several Panasonic projectors in the past few years. Their price ranges have varied slightly, but two things have remained constant: a decent picture and an ugly box. With the PT-AE700U, Panasonic has taken strides in sprucing up the industrial design, with rounded edges and a new silver color. It's still not as attractive as other projectors in this price range; but, when the lights are out, who really cares?

Panasonic PT-AE700U LCD projector

Panasonic's PT-AE500U made waves in fall 2003 with its low price and improved color rendering over previous Panasonic LCD projectors. Plenty of them were sold, and the model made many reviewers' "Best Of" lists for the year. Now Panasonic has followed up with the PT-AE700U, and it's more than just an upgrade of the PT-AE500U.
