I know this has been discussed quite a bit, but I still read reviews out there that refer to Smoothscreen as a filter. Some say it's optical, some say it's digital. The description below seems to be the most detailed I've seen:
"SmoothScreen Technology - Minimizing the "Screen Door" Effect. When an LCD projector shows images on a large screen, black lines can appear between the pixels. This phenomenon the screen door effect is minimized in the PT_AE300 by Panasonic's original SmoothScreen technology. Using a double refraction crystal device (see below), SmoothScreen technology reduces the gaps between pixels to give images the same smooth texture you enjoy at the movie theatre."
Is the double refraction crystal device nothing more than a prism?
