Below are some pictures of my first home cinema setup

  1. The flat LCD TV is a samsung LE61B 32 inch (82cm), located below on pictures
  2. The projector is a Panasonic PT900AE, 720pp, light in ECO mode and I use a normal white wall.

Appreciate the difference of size.....And here How the projector is attached to the wall:

  • Big but cheap (45euro), a Panasonic fixation cost 560CHF
  • A lot of space bellow, for a XBOX360, a PS3, a dreambox or linux mediacenter...(planned)

Note: The picture quality do not reflect the terrific colors and quality of this projector. (Camera Sony DSC700 2.1MP 1998)

My review:
+ picture quality is extraordinary, even when looking at the picture from the side!!!!
+ menu are well organized, the "auto store" channel has worked like a charm (but has take 5 minutes, who care it would have take longer manually)
+- attention the contrast level is set at 100% at factory, at 65% picture is still very good and that will preserve life of lighting tubes
- the remote control is a little bit too big and isn't of any particular design (I would say awful even if it is multistandard: TV, VCD etc....).

Only drawback, I wish Samssung make it even bigger size. A very good value even if it is pricey....1900euro

Panasonic PT-AX100U Projector Review

The PT-AX100U is the successor of the preceding model PT900AE- this new projector comes with better initial calibration, better benchmark scores and an improved lamp with plenty of lumen output.  (2000 Lumens!). Beside this I have 900 hours usage on my PT900AE in less than 6 months.

720p, 1080i and 1080p are shorthand name for a category of video modes.
720p is a smaller HD resolution than 1080p. 720p is made up of 1280 (horizontal) x 720 (vertical) pixels. 1080p is made up of 1920 (horizontal) x 1080 (vertical) or 1440 (horizontal) x 1080 (vertical) pixels in 1080i.
In other words, if you compare 720p and 1080p movies on a 42" TV, you will notice that the 1080p most likely looks better. The pixel size in 720p is much larger on a 42" TV than 1080p. The smaller the pixel size the sharper the picture is.
WikiPedia 720p - WikiPedia 1080p - WikiPedia 1080i

Unfortunately, to play these high resolution, high nitrate releases you will need a relatively powerful cpu and a few pieces of software that you might not already have. To help make your life easier, I am going to walk you through it.
