24p or 3:2 pulldown? Does this projector show 24p (no interpolation) natively, or must it do 3:2 pulldown?

I have a friend who owns the AE3000 of the Panasonic projector, it is just like the 4000 in that it does 3:2 pulldown. Panasonic calls this Frame Creation and the 4000 uses an updated version called Frame Creation 2. The 4000 has 3 modes of frame creation instead of the 2 different modes that is found on the AE3000. I took this excerpt from a review of the AE4000, hope it helps: * Improved Frame Interpolation. Panasonic uses the marketing term Frame Creation for its frame interpolation system. The AE3000 had three options for Frame Creation: Off, Mode 1 and Mode 2. Mode 1 buffered two frames and created one or more interim frames from those. Mode 2 buffered three frames and created one or more interim frames. Mode 2 was more comprehensive, but created more video delay. The AE4000 incorporates the second generation of this system, and is thus called Frame Creation 2. It has the same Mode 1 and 2 as the original, but it has a new Mode 3. This also buffers three frames for analysis, but it performs much more processing to achieve a better result. Video delay in Mode 1 is modest, more noticeable in Mode 2, and more visible yet in Mode 3. Modes 2 and 3 put the picture visibly out of synch with the audio. Thus an audio delay is required to keep the picture and sound in synch when using the Frame Creation system. The Frame Creation system reduces motion judder in increments-it is somewhat reduced in Mode 1, more so in Mode 2, and virtually non-existent in Mode 3. It accomplishes this with only occasional subtle artifacts. Depending on the material being viewed, Frame Creation can impart a hyper-reality to the image, making a movie look as it if were made with an HD videocam rather than a film camera. Some people like this effect, and others find it quite objectionable. Either way, this effect on the AE3000 and AE4000 is subtle when compared to competing models from last year on which the effect is more pronounced. http://www.projectorcentral.com/panasonic_ae4000_projector_review.htm

Yes, that is true! i have this projector at 1 year ago with 2 viewsonic active shutter glasses and a PS3 320Gb (move) with the last fw 3.56 for 3D support and NEVER, "NEVER" can see in 3D... grrrrrr!!! i do try softwares to generate 3D with the laptop like Tridef, etc with no lucky... i am an experimented technical user and reading a lot about this think the last thing to do is wait the last presentation of Viewsonic, the VP3D1 3D converter box to use with the projector... is the same of the Optoma 3D-XL, but i hope the VP3D1 are cheapest!sorry my bad english! :)

DLP Active Shutter glasses. I have had difficulty getting my PS3 to recognize it as a 3D device, but it works perfectly connected directly to my Toshiba 3D bluray player. Make sure you are using a newer HDMI cable which supports 3D. I got this projector to lose the scalar box that I needed for my previous projector and love it. It is the brightest projector for the money. I think its between 6 to 8 pounds.

All I'm using mine is for video, my main purpose was to get rid of the black lines on the aspect ratio, for audio I use fiber optic directly into our SonyAudio receiver I did have to play with the audio sync to get the lips to match the voice on Blu Rays that I expanded to fill the screen.... So far I'm happy..... Just wish I could also go full screen with 3d movies...... 3d won't work when you go full screen...... We're projecting with a Epson 3010 3d projector onto a 14 ft screen...... What kind of setup do you have?????

The image will fill the 18 x 24 space. You just have to get the projector far enough away and focus it properly. It just takes some fooling around with until you get it the way you want it.

If you use the remote and go to setting:picture:aspect ratio, you can choose from 16:9, full, or 4:3. It also has a few other options that appear greeted out because of my other settings, which are just scan, set by program, and cinema 1. It is not the brightest projector but is otherwise awesome. It is highly portable and I use it in small conference rooms with most of the lights off.

I mainly watch bluray movies and experience no blur. I have also watched 3D movies, really nice on a big screen. I'm using 106 inch screen. I did watch some football last year and it looked really good. This projector has been awesome so far, if you are thinking of buying one spend the extra money and get the 5020 over the 3020.

It took me time to understand the right setting for projector. You should choose in the menu the 'dlp ink' settings. Our projector is hd25 lv

In your case, both 16:9 or 4:3 screen ratio will be fine. It all depends on what type of screen you are projecting to, this projector will give you as big as you want plus the light is very bright even from a distance. I used it mostly in a 100-300 size hall and it shows great quality picture. Hope this helps.

Can I use this by itself instead of an overhead projector? If it takes pix, then how does it project it to screen?

Sorry for the confusion myself !In fact, the projector why I complained , was the EPSON 8345 ! Why he gave me a big problem with the FOCUS !

This is not an HD projector. It is XGA resoution (1024 X 768). If you send an HD video to it, it will be downsized and have a black strip on the top and bottom of the image.

It cannot shoot native 24P like a DVX100B or a GH2. It shoots 24P and then converts to 60i to give a film look. It's not a bad look, but something is missing visually.

I have a 106 " screen and the projector is approx 3.8mts away with no zoom. The quality is very impressive and no pixelation is seen in 1080p source.

no idea.. still getting used to it. I haven't figured how to adjust size, save moving the projector up close. The brightness and clarity were good. This was my first public use of it. All-in-all, pleased with it.

24p is possible on 60hz LCD's but note that 60 is not a multiple of 24, but 120hz is a multiple. So when 24p is being pulled down, it will not be pulled exactly 5 times per frame but some weird combination like : 1st frame 2x, second frame 3x, 3rd frame 2x and so forth. Not that you will ever notice. Anyway, that is what I saw somewhere.

You probably would not notice pixilation with 720p and definitely wouldn't see it with 1080p. One thing you should consider though, is the definition of the source. I use to have a projector displayed on a wall (150ish inches) and standard def looked fine to me.
