The PT-AX200 is ideal for watching sports events or playing video games in daylight conditions and surely for viewing movies in a dark room. Powerful 2,000-lumen brightness and new Light Harmonizer 2 technology make it easy for people to enjoy vibrant, dynamic images even if they don't have a special theater room. Together with the 2,000-lumens brightness, Panasonic's Light Harmonizer 2 technology produces vivid and easy-to-see images even in the kind of bright lighting that makes images from other projectors look whitish, faded or lacking in detail. The Light Harmonizer 2 circuit not only adjusts the gamma curve, but also controls the iris setting, lamp power, and picture sharpness to maintain easy, comfortable viewing at all times. The PT-AX200 features a Game mode that improves signal processing for better response, allowing you to play games with minimal stress. It also reveals gradation in saturated areas to show details that are otherwise lost in very dark areas. The Pure Color Filter was born from Panasonic's pursuit of optical technology that delivers true Hollywood picture quality. The light spectrum is adjusted to produce a level of light that maximizes the performance of the LCD panels, which expands the color range and produces truer blacks. The high definition picture of the PT-AX200 is remarkably smooth and film-like, while remaining amazingly sharp and detailed. Dynamic Iris has been refined to provide deeper, richer blacks for true image reproduction with stunning smoothness. This technology adjusts the lamp power, iris, and gamma curve according to data obtained from frame-by-frame histogram analysis of the image brightness level. The new Advanced Dynamic Sharpness Control determines image areas that need to be sharpened at varying degrees by examining small changes in brightness levels within the image. This greatly reduces noise amplification and delivers clear and natural looking images.

Some reviews you can ignore?:
This is not a review of this specific product just a general opinion. If you read alot of reviews as I do, you will find that there are about 10% you must question. These are the reviews that are the generally negative and in most cases 180% from the other reviews. They almost always tell the prospective buyer to go with some other product which they name. These reviews are likely from people who represent that competing company that simply want to lower the score of the reviewed product in hopes of... more info
A really wonderful projector at a remarkably low price point:
A terrific quality product, and very bright. I paired mine with the Duet Portable Projector Screen, and I am fully satisfied with the resulting image, with its visibility and crispness and size (80-inch diagonal). I have hooked up both a PS3 (HDMI) and DVD player (S-Video) to it, and they work great. The PT-AX200U has an output capable of 2000 lumens, which ultimately means that you can enjoy this projector in the middle of the day, even with ambient light streaming through your blinds.more info
Worked great until the bulb went... at 290 hours:
I don't have too much to add on what other people have said - it's a great projector. My projector-owning friends compared it quite favorably with the ones they own... it just has such bright, crisp images. I was very happy with my purchase. However - the other day, after about one year and 290 hours of use (I am not a heavy user!), something was clearly wrong with the image. The colors were not saturated, the image was dull... brightness was lacking. One more evening of that, and then it wouldn't... more info
Haven't been this satisfied with an electronics purchase in over a decade.:
I'd been shopping around for a new gaming display for Wii, PS3, Laptop through DVI, and movies, for a very long time, to replace my monster 36" 300lb CRT. First I went with a 46" LCD that just had too much lag, GHOSTING, grayish blacks, banding on the image, all these problems, and ended up returning it. Then a friend recommended I try the projector route. I was at first skeptical but eventually read a bunch of very helpful reviews on projectorreviews.com, and decided to go with this one, as it is marketed... more info
