changes changes of note, except in the support of game machines. Other than that there are
subtle improvements in areas like contrast.
In fact, Panasonic has definitely focused much of its advertising at the gamers, touting the PT-
AX200U as the first and best projector for video game playing. While I'm not much of a game
player. I do have a Sony PS3 - mostly to play Blu-ray discs, and an old Dreamcast, but no X-
Box 360. I pop in a PS3 game every month or two, although I prefer to play my pinball
machine. At the CEDIA show, I listened and saw Panasonic's demonstrations as to how they
have enhanced the PT-AX200U to tremendously improve the game playing experience, but not
being a hard core player, I'll have to take their word (and the testamonials of top game
players like Tsquared) as to the full benefits. I'll comment more on the PT-AX200U's gaming
skills for game machines like the PS3, Wii, and X-Box 360, in the General Performance page.
After saying all that, the PT-AX200U has been slightly improved as both a projector for movie
watchers, and TV/HDTV/sports, and it remains the brightest home theater projector on the
market under $15,000! It also features Light Harmonizer 2, an adaptation from earlier
business projectors, that automatically adjusts most aspects of the image to compensate for
varying room lighting conditions.
