The PT-AE4000U is DISCONTINUED
Our customers are now selecting the Panasonic PT-AE7000U | | | | Replacement: PT-AE7000U Projector |

| Panasonic PT-AE4000U projector details:
The new Panasonic PT-AE4000 is Panasonic's upgrade to the popular PT-AE3000U. It surpasses the Panasonic PTAE3000 in image quality, and has more features as well. Here are some of the PTAE4000U's amazing features: Enhanced dynamic range with advanced optical system
- New Red-Rich lamp: The incorporation of the new Red-Rich Lamp increases the luminance efficiency of the projector, to achieve 150% brighter Cinema Picture modes compared to its predecessor, the PT-AE3000.
Prior to the development of the Red-Rich Lamp, much brightness was lost to attain the desired color purity/balance for the rich color reproduction of Cinema Picture modes due to the lack of red luminance. The newly engineered lamp successfully adds red luminance, and enables the projector to produce brighter images with excellent colors. With
the ability to produce a stunning brightness of 1,600 lumens, the PT-AE4000 unleashes the beauty of full-HD expression for viewing on various screen sizes.
- Full HD Optimized Optical System: To assure maximum clarity and sharpness in full-HD images, this advanced optical system employs a full-HD-optimized lens unit comprising of 16 lens elements in 12 groups, including two large-diameter aspherical lenses and two high-performance ED (extralow dispersion) lenses. Each lens is carefully
aligned to assure a uniform focusing balance from the center to the edges of the screen. As a result, the PT-AE4000 produces stunningly clear and beautiful images.
- New Pure Contrast Plate Delivers High 100,000: Contrast Ratio:The Pure Contrast Plate in the PT-AE4000 uses a newly engineered crystalline material that is carefully matched to the characteristics of the LCD panels to effectively correct the passage of light exiting the panels. This enables the projector to block unwanted light leakage and successfully increases the dynamic range. It works together with the dynamic iris to achieve an astounding contrast ratio of 100,000:1.
- Pure Color Filter Pro for Rich, Vibrant Colors: The optical filter optimizes the light spectrum from the UHM projector lamp, helping to produce deeper blacks while improving purity levels in the three primary colors (red, green and blue). This advanced filter system improves color purity to cover a range that extends from the HDTV standard (Color 1 mode)*1 to the color gamut used in digital cinema*2. This gives images the deep, rich coloring that distinguishes movie images.
- Smooth Screen Technology Creates Film-Like Texture: While many LCD projectors suffer from a ''chicken wire'' effect, Panasonics pursuit of the highest possible image quality has successfully overcome this device limitation through the incorporation of Smooth Screen technology. This uses the double refraction property of crystals to arrange pixels on a screen with no gaps between them. Smooth Screen technology is designed to give you the kind of smooth, vivid, and three-dimensional like images you see in movie theaters.
- Dynamic Iris Adds Beauty to Both Dark and Bright Scenes: The fifth generation intelligent iris system works by analyzing the brightness level of each image using a histogram, then adjusting the lamp power, iris and gamma curve* accordingly to create the ideal image. The adjustments are made virtually frame by frame. This helps the projector achieve a wide dynamic range with swift smoothness for added beauty in both dark and bright scenes.
- Full-HD LCD Panels Enhance Motion Response: The PT-AE4000's full-HD LCD panels have a double-speed drive capability that improves the projection clarity of moving images. These high-precision panels use vertically aligned liquid crystal molecules with inorganic alignment layers. When no voltage is applied, the molecules are aligned perpendicular to the glass substrate, so there is minimal light leakage and the substrate remains black (called "normally black" operation), providing higher contrast.
For more features, like professional level tuning, please see the Panasonic PT-AE4000U PDF.
Additional Features:- Enhanced dynamic range with advanced optical system
- Crisp, clear details and professional level tuning
- Flexible installation
- Smart, easy operation

Lowest price AND Customer Service. Amazing.
I bought a new Panasonic PT-AE4000 Projector to replace the prior model, and was pleasantly surprised to see the lowest price was not from some mega-online retailer. I got the unit in just a couple days, and it worked perfectly. Over the next week, I got two emails AND a phone call from Visual Apex to make sure everything arrived OK, and to see if I needed any help or had any questions. The lowest price AND Customer Service. Amazing.

Second purchase with VA!
I ordered a Panasonic AE4000 on a Thursday morning w/ overnight shipping and it arrived Friday exactly as advertised. Everyone I talked to before purchasing was extremely helpful, and they even followed up afterwards to make sure the process went smoothly. Of course, it did, so I can't be more satisfied. This was my second purchase, as I originally purchased an AE700 6 years ago and had just as good of an experience. Thanks!

Best price and free shipping.
I ordered a Panny PT-AE4000U from Visual Apex about 3 weeks ago. They had the best price and free shipping. My order came quickly and was well packaged. I've gotten a lot of use out of it already and the projector runs great! I haven't had to use their customer service much yet but they seem to be pretty on the ball from what I can tell. I'd definitely buy from them again!

Easy to use website.
Website was easy to use, price was excellent and included shipping. The equipment arrived in perfect condition and the merchant followed up with a call to be sure everything had gone well. We bought a 125" Elite screen and a Panasonic AE4000U projector, which provide a superb picture close up--even better than the far more expensive CRT projector/processor we'd installed in a different home 10 years prior.

Really impressed with VA's service.
At first I bought from VA because they were selling Panasonic's AE4000 cheaper than everyone else, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover their reputation for personalized customer service. It's nice to find real customer service.
They also reacted to my order and got it in the mail surprisingly fast. I needed the replacement projector in a hurry and they responded to my need, which is why I'm leaving this positive review. I was really impressed with the kind of service they provided.

Outstanding knowledge and customer service.
Visual Apex is outstanding in their knowledge and customer service. Add on top of that the best price and ability to create a custom package for me sealed the deal. I was even more impressed with their followup AFTER my order to make sure everything met my expectations. I'm not talking about some sort of automated email... I mean a REAL phone call from a REAL person. These people have a passion for home theater and it really shows. If I'm ever in the need for any other home theater needs, Visual Apex will be my only stop.
Products purchased:
Panasonic AE4000
135" Acoustic Screen
Ceiling Mount
35' HDMI cable
Calibration DVD
Top notch. Seriously.

Great service!
I bought a Panasonic PT-AE4000U for my home theater, the projection is impecable and the different functions are awesome. I am very happy with my new purchase, the PT-AE4000U is very easy to use. I replaced an Optoma HD80 which was fine, but did not have enough trimming adjustments to fit the image perfectly in my screen.
As always, Visual Apex has done a great job, their service is excellent. My order arrived on time.

Visual Apex delivers exactly what they promise.
I wanted to buy the new Panasonic AE4000 projector and had heard a lot of good things about Visual Apex from the Home Cinema/Hi-Fi forums which I regularly visit. Visual Apex was my first choice, but I decided to check with PriceGrabber.com first to see where the projector was cheapest. After checking, my choice became even easier. Visual Apex was by far the cheapest place to get it, offering free ground shipping via FedEx and tax-free.
I completed my order at the Visual Apex website, which was a smooth and easy process. There were no hidden extra costs. The price I got from PriceGrabber was the price I paid in the end. I had a couple of questions (via phone and e-mail) regarding the order which the custom support answered to my satisfaction with a friendly and helpful tone.
Shipping was supposed to take seven days and it took exactly seven days as promised. Since a projector is a very sensitive piece of equipment, I was a little worried about it being damaged during shipping, but it arrived in a huge box extremely well packaged. From the look of the packaging it probably didn't move an inch during shipping.
The package also included a Visual Apex branded dust cover which was a surprise bonus.
In my opinion, Visual Apex delivers exactly what they promise. Great products, great price, great shipping/packaging, great customer support. I would recommend them to everyone looking for a Hi-Fi projector (and probably other stuff too).
