Who here has an LCD or DLP HT projector?
 
Been using my 720p Sony VPL-HS60 since 2006.
The lamp now got 3000 hours and I'm getting the dreaded "change lamp" message.

Basically, while I could change the lamp and the filter for ~£200, I'm gonna go all the way and get a new projector.

I was thinking about the Panasonic PT-AT5000E (PT-AE7000U for our American friends) as it's got very good reviews... but I just read that Panasonic will probably announce the successor model (mostly small fixes, no revolutionary changes) at the upcoming September CEDIA Expo. In any case it should be a nice upgrade going from "HD ready" to full HD + 3D with improved black levels, contrast, and brightness... the whole shabang.

Arguably the Panny is one of the best home theatre projectors in the £2000-3000 range... Does anyone have any experience to share? I was skeptical on the 3D thing, but it seems to be working well for existing users...

I have the AE4000 and I have been very pleased with it so a later generation model will only be better.

Regarding 3D my VT30 has it and I use it sparingly, the novelty wore off pretty quick.

Is this going in a dedicated room?

Nope, it will be in the living room, but we mostly watch in the evenings anyway and I can darken the room if needed.

I would definitely consider the Panasonic as well as the Epson 5010. (The Epson having higher lumens output)

The Epson is good for video, but has input lag, so not idea if you ever want to game on it.

That would suck indeed...
