Developed in collaboration with leading filmmakers, Panasonic’s Hollywood tuning process produces images that mirror the director’s artistic vision and intent. This process is refined in the new PT-AE2000U by maximizing the image quality of full-HD content in Blu-ray discs and HD broadcasts for large-screen viewing. A carefully tuned optical system teams up with a newly developed Detail Clarity Processor to dramatically boost image clarity. The PT-AE2000U offers the ultimate Home Cinema experience with crisp, full HD images in remarkable detail.
