Thanks Mark! The AE7000 is so much bigger than the AE900, my old ceiling mount bracket is too small to fit the 7000, I guess I need to upgrade the bracket too.

Will post more photos as soon as I've installed the PJ.

May glasses ka na? You can buy 2-pack 3D glasses at Amazon for around $170. Including shipping, lumalabas around P4000 each.

No glasses pa, thanks sa heads up Mark. Will check out Amazon.

Packing up the AE900 & unboxing the AE7000, huge difference in size!

streetsmart · « **Reply #373 on:** Dec 09, 2011 at 11:05 AM »

A friend of mine recently bought and installed one. Out of the box, even without any calibration, the pq was gorgeous. We watched the Pacquiao-Marquez fight with Cignal HD and it was incredibly good ... except for Pacman's performance which was unfortunately mediocre.

It's really a very good projector. Very bright. Nice colors.

Now I'm excited!

That's good to hear specially coming from you that even without calibration the picture quality & colors are good. Since my last calibration was 3 years ago on the AE900, relearning how to do it again takes so much time.
Mark, what settings do you think is close to a calibrated display? Cinema1 or the REC709?

Frankly, except for brightness & contrast, di ko pa sya na-calibrate kasi bago. You should wait till a minimum of about 60 hours before doing a grayscale/gamma calibration. I think ginagamit ng friend ko is Cinema1. To me, it looked good. Baka this Sunday, calibrate ko sya so at that time, I can tell you what's the better setting.

Inggit na inggit na ako bro

Yes, sulit nga ang Panasonic PJ's. Happy pa din ako sa AE900 but this upgrade itch just won't go away.

Installed PJ:

Existing 4 year old HDMI cable still works with this pj connected to ps3, Onkyo 708. 3D works on the ps3 even with DTS HD MA & Dolby True HD.

But can't use the Onkyo 708 remote while watching 3D, maybe infrared emitter conflict.

Out of the box settings on this pj is impressive, bright even on eco mode. Tried Cinema1, D-cinema & REC709... There's still room to squeeze out of this pj after calibration.

How's your calibration with this pj sir Mark?

P.S. GT5 looks great with this pj.

Nahirapan ako sa calibration. Parang bumaba bigla brightness and the pj is just too far from the screen. It needs to be moved about 4 feet forward. It will take me a little while longer.

Ok naman result ng calibration but it was very difficult because the light output was very low, dahil nga malayo lang masyado ang pj. Baka 2 more weeks before I sort it out.

Thanks for the update sir Mark. Enjoy ko din muna mga default settings, next time nalang calibrate after atleast 60 hrs. =)

I finally did a good calibration of the AE7000. We used the "Normal" picture setting (not "Cinema 1") because it is pretty bright. After calibration, the light output was 17 foot-lamberts, which is pretty decent.

I'd say the pq is practically the same as the AE4000, which is good. 3D was also pretty cool but for me, it was too dark. The pj should have been mounted closer to the screen and the screen gain should have been at least 1.5 in order to get the correct brightness. This is what you should keep in mind most for 3D. You need a really bright picture because the glasses reduce light output by half.

den1224 · « **Reply #384 on:** Dec 23, 2011 at 12:07 PM »

Haven't tried 3D yet, waiting for my glasses to arrive. Been using REC709 with all default settings. I've watch the bluray version of Star Wars Episode I to III, coming from AE900, I'm really impress with how much detail this pj has. Specially on Episode III, really good black levels too. Cinema1 is too bright for me, medyo washed out na sa dark scenes. My pj is set at about 12ft from the screen, even on a screen gain of 0.8 very bright siya sa 2D content, will update you Mark on how 3D is, as soon as I have the glasses with me. Calibration... Will try it soon.
