Thread: Official Panasonic PT-AE3000U OWNERS Thread.

This new 3000U projector is more sensitive to longer run HDMI cables...trust me. I have never had a problem with my last 3 Panny projectors with 35 to 50 ft HDMI cables, but with the new 3000U the long cables arn't cutting it. Only one of the 3 HDMI inputs works correctly on my 3000U from that distance, but when I shortened the cable to a 25 footer all 3 inputs worked fine.

I tweak a lot when I get a new toy that is used to entertain me with art (cinema, in this case) for some time, perhaps even weeks, until I feel I can get it to perform at 99% of its best capability but then I put away all the test disks and sit back and just enjoy it for years to come, happy knowing that I made it as best it can be....

Just to be clear I wasn't suggesting that an ND2 filter would help with viewing angle or hotspotting, just that it might tame the image brightness if it is too high when the lamp is new.

Septim, I have also noticed this. I thought it was just me!!!

Radiient Technologies also makes a good switcher/repeater. We use the Select-4ce for running extended HDMI cables from video cameras to the editing work station.

You got taken on that bed.

I upgraded from the AX100. The AE3000 certainly is not as bright but the added resolution and contrast is nice. To be perfectly honest, I wasn't "floored" by the increase in resolution...
