I love the projector, never-mind the 3D, it is not a subtle upgrade from the PT-AE4000. In terms of picture quality, everything is better - brightness, contrast, and clarity. It is actually bright enough that in a reasonably light controlled setting, you could run in ECO mode and be perfectly happy. Again, going from PT-AE4000 to the 8000 is well worth it. 3D seemed fine, just make sure that you purchase the correct 3D glasses as there are different versions, even within Panasonic.Now the bad part - I like everyone else, try to save a buck when I can. I didn't realize that Amazon allowed grey-market, marketplace dealers; but in retrospect, I guess that was my own naivety. BIG VALUE, Inc. IS NOT AUTHORIZED TO SELL Panasonic. They claim that they are just like buying from your retail store, but I have never had a retail store that was grey-market. Your rebates and warranties WILL NOT be honored by Panasonic. Unfortunately the way I found this out was by trying to redeem a rebate. By the time I received a denial from Panasonic and clarification from BIG VALUE, Inc, I was outside of the 30 day return window.I will go though the claim process and hopefully Amazon will support my side based on BIG VALUE's deceptive marketing, but it's an expensive lesson to learn; as regardless as to whether I am able to return the projector; I also lost out on the two free pairs of 3D glasses and the $100 rebate check.

Compared to my previous old 2004 NEC LT-260K projector, which was quite good in my dedicated HT room - wow, big improvement!!I recommend ProjectorCentral.com to compare, and the Panasonic PT-AE8000U was very highly rated!I've only had the new projector installed for a couple weeks, but here's the differences I've experienced so far:- Improved 1920x1080 Resolution (Now can even sit on the floor in front of the big 122in screen and it's still quite clear!)- Much greater Contrast Ratio! (500,000:1) Night Scenes are much clearer, and gives more depth of field.- Brighter (Can even use room lighting now if desired with very little screen washout!)- Quieter Fan (better during silent passages...)- Longer Lamp Life (2000-3000 previously, and now 4000hrs, 5000 in eco)- More refinement / adjustability controls options- 3D capability that didn't have before... (Can be immersed in the movie if you choose on occasion... Wow! Amazing!)- 2D to 3D Conversion option- Power Zoom & Power Focus, as well as other setup improvements- Better Color Interpretation- Very fast 480Hz Dual Core Processor greatly improves fast motion scene tracking in real-time without eye fatigue.- Split-Screen helps setup changes to see present and proposed change comparison...- The picture quality is so amazing, you completely forget that you're actually watching a projector!?!Extremely impressive projector!! Yes, this likely is the best HT projector from Panasonic so far!!!Thanks Panasonic!! Mike (Puget Sound Area, WA)
