Thanks :) I'll probably get some quotes on having it professionally installed. cheers Mike

Hi All, Its been a while since I have posted... about 2 months actually. Since my last post I have decided to get the Panasonic PTAE500 here in Australia, and I am just awaiting on the delivery. I have also received a Screen Technics Fixed 90" Screen and a Universal Mounting Bracket...

Paul, sorry to be a pain - were you able to set the projector up? and maybe have some pics? in australia they are arriving sometime this month - I will be getting in touch with the shop within the next few days, to see it setup later on in the month. Many thanks Mike

Hi Paul. any news on the projector? did you get it on wednesday? Hows does it play/look.... thanks Mike

HI Dennis... have a look at this link... you may find its not directed at rear projection TV's as such but it does debate on the LCD vs DLP pros and cons. w.w.w.projectorcentral.com/lcd_dlp.htm (get rid off the ... between the www) i personally have opted for an LCD projector myself...

how much did you pick it up for? im wandering if its thesame USvsAU dollar price. I can't wait till next month when I can go an get it :) mike

Hi Larry, sorry - i wrote the sentence incorrectly. what I meant to say is that i was shown a 16:9 movie on a 4:3 PROJECTOR... and displayed on a 16:9 screen - if that makes sense? basically I was seeing black lines top and bottom outside of the 16:9 screen... you're right - the sales...

thanks Paul, looking forward to your hands on review! :) mike

Just one more quick one... went to a shop yesterday - Surround sounds who deal with InFocus projectors and that is pretty much it. Now, from what I have read on some websites including projectorcentral, all budget InFocus projectors are 4:3 native ratio. when I went into this shop, i...

Hi All, Thanks very much for the previous advice... i have taken every comment on board :) much appreciated... yesterday I visited a couple of places after work, and found out that the Panasonic PTAE500 or as it is known PTL500U in the US is comming out here early Feb... its been out in...

Hi Neil, So personally which projector would you recommend? I haven't found any shops yet that do the Panasonic - but I have found out the cost of some 16:9 fixed screens - they are about AU$1000 so about US$800 or so... also the shop had some sony, sharp and optima projectors on display...

Sorry - just one more -- what does it mean when one refers to a progressive scan DVD player? I have an omni one - but do I have a progressive scan? No Idea! can someone explain? states that the pic on the PTAE300 is supperb on a Progressive scan DVDl... once again! Many thanks! Mike

Hi Tod, I think I would rather go for a true 16:9 - I don't like the idea of extra money when i will want to watch most of the programs/movies in 16:9 format anyway - but its definatelly an option for someone who wishes to have a 4:3 right? thanks for that info :) I found a review site...

Hi Guys, thanks for the replies... really appreciate it. TOD : thanks - I yet have to see the Panasonic working. The reason why I ask about the black screen is because I saw a projector (apparently the panasonic one) projecting a movie onto a very dark wall and it looked absolutely...

Hi All. My name is Mike and Im from Perth, Western Australia. Im moving into my home in a few months, and decided that instead of buying a TV which would cost me $1500 and I would have something within the 68cm range, or a Rear Projection TV for about $5000-$8000 or even a Plasma Screen...
