Wow ! the release price of the PT-AE 3000u is a full grand less than the MSRP! I am so getting one of these projectors,who needs big screen lcd or plasmas when you can have a 120"diagonal full hi-def picture for less than $2500.00. Panasonic has served notice to the home theater market that they mean business with this pricing! I currently have an Infocus LS110 dlp projector which has served me well over the years,but at this price with these features I would be nuts not to upgrade now!

you can buy the PANASONIC AE3000 PROJECTOR for $1500 with 2800 hours left on it .feel free to ask about it to my contact holovachk@yahoo.ca
