Panasonic PTAE7000/ AT5000 - Page 46

Sorry but I don't think so:



I am no expert, but to avoid confusion this is what I mean:

Panasonic PT-AE5000E:



Acer (Secondary 3D monitor, not the Acer H5360BD, but the H5360BD works exactly the same):



So yes, it is 60Hz maximum refresh rate.

Does sweet spot = the distance of the projector to screen when the zoom is set to 50% of capacity (it's midpoint)?

I tried doubling the Screen Size in PS3 Display Setting and didn't see any effect. Same exact crosstalk. Tried doubling screen size in the projector menu but don't see any effect too.

Weird thing is I tried Uncharted 3 and there is no crosstalk at all, so it must be a GT5 problem, I don't really know. Tried different settings in GT5 3D Display options and crosstalk only disappears when setting the Parallax (3D strength) to minimum (1 to 2, when max is 10).

Any ideas? some help will be greatly appreciated.

David, your home theater looks AWESOME. Makes me want to cancel my order for the 16:9 that I just placed, but I do want to watch a lot of football and HDTV. Anyway; wondering how the dark maroon walls do. I think the wife has agreed to a black ceiling and dark carpet, but she wants dark maroon walls instead of dark gray.

thanks for the compliment!

The red paint is actually designed NOT to be seen with full-lighting. In the pre-set dim lighting condition, the colour turned into almost burgundy / dark maroon. So Dark Maroon should be okay provided that it's matte finish (not glossy) and be prepared to do 5 to 6 coats of paint to get the dark colour you want. Red paint is so difficult to apply nicely.

Dave,

Nice room. Can you tell me the dimensions of the room and screen width? Thanks.

Hello Viche,

my room specifications (including the equipments) can be viewed here:

http://acebydavidsusilo.webs.com/roomspecifications.htm

I'm just about ready to pull the trigger and purchase the PT-AE7000U before the $300 + 3 Year Warranty deal expires at the end of this month. I do have one quick question though regarding Vertical Lens Shift. This diagram shows that I can place the projector up to 100% the height of the screen above the screen. I don't need to go THAT high, but I would say that the projector lens would be about horizontal with the top of the screen. If I use Vertical Lens Shift, do I also have to use keystoning to get the picture to remain a perfect rectangle?

The reason I'm asking is because keystoning is disabled in 3D mode. Surely, Panasonic would not require us to mount the projector dead center to the screen if we want a perfect rectangle when watching 3D content?

Nope, just shift.

Order placed. Can't wait.

How are the Da-Lite screens with this projector?

Here is my room in a kind of bright maroon. Everyone that comes over loves the color.

I wanted to go 2.35 but play to many games on the setup. It's used 60/40 16/9.

N8DOGG, nice room! That's exactly how my room looks like at preset (dim) lighting condition. (I'm talking about the wall colour, of course)

you should see it light up with the fiber optic ceiling!

N8DOGG,

Room looks great! Beautiful color. Mind telling us what it is?

Is called "orient express" from ICI, dulux brand.

love the fibre optic ceiling. I wish I can do that with my ceiling

Takes me to Glidden in the US. Wonder if the color recipe is the same.

Oh wait...I think it is. I typed in Orient Express here:
http://www.gliddenprofessional.com/c...ctor?grid=true
And it looks fairly similar. Is it a sort of a brownish/brick red?

I just had a couple follow-up questions on this Projector and would love to hear from a PTAE7000/ AT5000 owner who can help clarify some things?

1. Can I utilize the Aspect Ratio Preset function and enlarge a 16:9 XBOX 360 Signal/image and play XBOX Games on a 2.35:1 Screen completely filled with no black bars on the screen area? AKA Play Call of Duty at 2.35:1?

2. Knowing this Projector has the ability to take a 16:9 signal and zoom and stretch it to fill a 2.35:1, Again, what happens when I actually play a 2.35:1 movie with my Blu-Ray Player? Will the Panasonic simply fill a 2.35:1 screen "as is" without manipulating the image whatsover?

Thanks everyone, replies appreciated,

User7007

It's a bit more red than that, this is whats on the paint can lid for the mixture

Orient express
BLK 0P12
OXR 4P34
MAG 5P44
VWH 0P6

To show a 16:9 as 2.35 you are either going to cut alot off the top and bottom of the image or stretch the image out to fill 2.35. Either way you are changing the image.

When you play a 2.35 movie the projector zooms out so that the black bars are projected above and below the screen surface. They are still present you just don't see them, they are off the screen. The image is not changed.

I have installed the AE5000 on my ceiling.Sitting below the unit I can clearly hear the fan working.Is this normal or is a fault indicated?I am using the Normal Picture mode.
Charles

That is normal. Well..really this is all relative.

Mine is ceiling mounted behind my front row by about 2 meters. I can hear it when no sound is on. But it is very low noise.

Of course, if your ceiling is reflective 'sound' wise this will make it louder too.

I have mine mounted 30cm from my real ceiling, and a floating frame that is filled with ecophon panels. So I suppose a lot of noise is being captured by that setup.

can you better describe this?

"and a floating frame that is filled with ecophon panels"

Hi..yeah..

My room has a 2.7 m ceiling height.

But I knew I wanted to cut that down to around 2.5 or so.

I designed a frame that would be as isolated from the ceiling as possible, through using an innovative anchoring design I came up with. We used metal brackets and neoprene 'washers'. Of course mounting anything at some point there must be enough contact for the frame to attach onto. but at each point I have used neoprene which reduces the hard-to-hard type fastening methods.

The resulting frame kind of free floats, which minimizes vibrations going to the rest of my house. My theater is in my lowest level of my house, not the basement (I have a 3 level house with my lowest level open on 1 side and buried towards the front of my house - sloping block of land you see..), so I needed to try and stop bass vibrations traveling upwards.

After the base frame was completed, I created a baffle and layer design of Ecophon acoustic panels, inter-layered with mineral wool batts.

You know I wish I had now taken decent shots of all of this, but I was eager to get it all done.

anyone give me good settings ford 3d when i set 3d on the lumen really go low any settings for 3d?

Did you try the "Normal" or "Dynamic" Picture Modes?

sure i tried them but still think its dark for 3d ? anyone help

If you already have the lamp set on "high" then, the only thing I can think of is to change the screen. Buy a high gain screen (see the screens forum)

I know this is a Panasonic thread but I'm a newb when it come to projectors I'm very interested in this Panasonic 7000 and the Epson 6010. Could anyone tell me what the big difference is between the two and how does it look in 3D compared to the Epson? Is there a lot of lag in gaming with the Xbox I play fps games. And lastly would 120" diagonal screen be to big for either PJ. Thanks

Guys,

Will there be PQ loss on both 2D and 3D if I will fully utilize the zoom and lens shift?
I'll be buying the AE7000 on Tuesday

Thanks
