Rather than a wall of text, I'll break it down into some pros and cons! I've owned this projector since November, 2011.For reference, my screen is a 100" diagonal, acoustically transparent, 1.0 gain screen. (Seymour Screen Excellence 4K, in case you're wondering). I sit about 11 feet from the screen, and the projector is above my head.Pros:1.) Extremely quiet. With the bulb in "Eco" mode, and just over a foot above my head, I can barely hear the projector's fan when there's no sound playing, and with any sound at all the projector is impossible to hear. In "Normal" bulb mode, it's still very quiet. I use mine in "Eco" mode 99% of the time, for what it's worth. And with 4000 bulb hours life in "Normal" mode, and a whopping 5000 in "Eco" mode, you'll be quite happy for a while.2.) My unit is pretty uniformly sharp from corner to corner. While I won't say this is guaranteed, it's definitely a good thing, or at least - it's possible with this projector.3.) 3 HDMI inputs - a lot of the competition (JVC RS-45/X30, Epson 5010 etc) only has 2.4.) Excellent for gaming. Not only does the PT-AE7000U sport a "Game" picture mode where all lag-inducing processing is dumped out the window, it also has a "Fast Frame" response for even quicker response times. Call of Duty etc is easily playable on this projector with no complaints. The benchmark for any gaming display, though, in my humble opinion, is passing the "Hot Shots Golf Torture Test" with a 100% score. This Playstation 3 title requires split mili-second response times from your display. I'm happy to say that while the Panasonic, with Game Mode/Fast Frame Response enabled doesn't quite get full marks due to the tiniest amount of input lag, it's extraordinary close to perfect. And with the other features of this projector in mind, that's good enough for me, for sure!5.) 3D looks fantastic on this projector. I've had friends over for Megamind Blu-ray 3D fun etc, and hooked up to the Panasonic DMP-BDT210 Blu-ray player I can report no ghosting, nothing out of the ordinary - just fantastic 3D. This with the generation 3 Panasonic glasses.6.) 2D viewing is incredibly bright, brighter still than last generation's Panasonic PT-AE4000U. 2000 lumens on this new model vs 1600 lumens on the PT-AE4000U. I only had a few hundred hours on my PT-AE4000U before upgrading to the PT-AE7000, and the 2D brightness difference is still quite noticeableThere are of course, some caveats....Cons:1.) Unless you have excellent light blocking, 3D enabled just doesn't produce a very bright image. It's "bright enough," but this is definitely an area that can be improved on. It's the 3D glasses reducing the brightness, since when the emitter shoots its infra-red beam out and hits the glasses they dim considerably. If this brightness could be addressed with the generation 4 glasses, that would be... fantastic!2.) Color uniformity across the projector's thrown image is not perfect. Since it's an LCD projector, this is to be expected. My PT-AE4000U had "similar" characteristics, in that one half of the screen is slightly orange, and the other half of the screen tends to be more green in nature. It's not usually an issue, but if you have a very white scene or a solid light color up, you can definitely notice it.3.) Quite expensive. Sure it's no more expensive than competing models, but it's quite a bit more expensive than the PT-AE4000U at this time (January 2012). That's what you get for paying for more brightness, slightly better contrast, and of course - 3D!---Overall, you really can't go wrong with this Panasonic. If you're looking for a projector with exceptional bulb life, gaming-friendly picture modes, stellar 2D and almost completely ghost-free 3D playback, for the money this is probably the best all-round model on the market at this time.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1NPH0NN2D1SI5 For our uses this is a great projector. I didn't test the 3d because i don't have media or the glasses.

This purchase was the end result of weeks and weeks of investigation and product comparison, and man am I happy with my decision! My goal was to find a high quality 1080p projector that looked snappy, needed minimal setup, was reasonably quiet, and was good for playing PS3 games as well as movies and HD TV. This projector meets and exceeds all of my requirements.The setup is easy and really doesn't need any tweaking once running. I used the analog stick on the projector unit to adjust the screen location (which is admittedly a little finicky) on the wall, zoomed it to the size I wanted, set to ECO mode, and was watching boner-inducing video in about 5 minutes. Mounting on a ceiling takes a little longer and depends on the mount you buy (just make sure it's compatible with this unit).The 2D picture on this projector is absolutely stunning, even right out the box. In fact, I have yet to tweak the settings since installing it and none of the eleven people who have seen it in action so far in my theater have felt that it needed any adjustment. Movies, HD Directv, and PS3 games look incredible on a 120" screen at 12 feet with no blurring or pixelation. I can't comment on the 3D functionality as I haven't used it yet, but probably will when glasses become cheaper.The cooling fan is pretty quiet in Normal mode and is nearly inaudible if the projector is placed in ECO mode. This energy saving mode is less bright and taxes the bulb less, but produces a great picture as long as your theater room is fully light controlled and can be pitch black. Not a lot of heat is produced by the unit in either mode and I'm hoping that the bulb will last for 4-5 years. We'll see.For those who play video games a lot, rest assured that this projector will not only provide a crisp colorful picture, but does so without any motion blurring, stuttering, or input lag. There are a lot of projectors out there that are not good for games, but the PT-AE7000 has no trouble. I don't have an XBox360, but I'm sure the experience wouldn't be much different.I love this thing since I first unpackaged it 2 months ago and use it for at least two hours everyday. The black casing looks really sharp and professional in full light and blends in almost imperceptibly against my deep black ceiling (in fact, people usually don't see the unit until I point it out). On that note, if you plan on mounting this unit to the ceiling, make sure it's a good quality mount that will easily support the weight of the projector, as it would suck to find nearly $3000 worth of visual beauty in a broken pile on your floor as a result of cheap mount support.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
