You're not happy with your Panny 65VT50?Originally Posted by Sam Posten /t/323726/panasonic-introduces-new-pt-ae8000u-3d-home-theater-projector-with-advanced-customization-features#post_4010531
The 8000u remains on my wish list, despite my grumblings about it's list price. Now that they are in the marketplace more reasonable street prices are starting to be the norm and for it's new price point it isn't that much more than it's similarly specced competitors, tho it IS still high.
I just am so torn tho. I want to buy a great projector but I know we are on the cusp of the move to 4k. I remember buying my 900u and being so chuffed that I could get an awesome projector for so much less than what the flat panels were running in those days, and getting an image 4x as big. Today the good PJs can be twice the cost of a great bang for the buck panel and more expensive than an AWESOME one. I guess the problem is my own expectations but that doesn't make it any less frustrating
I do want to thank the PHL folks for their demonstration during the HTF meet. If i could have spent a few more hours their playing with their goodies I definitely would have!
