Panasonic PT-AX200E Home Cinema Projector Features "Game Mode"

Panasonic's new PT-AX200E Home Cinema Projector is putting (wealthy) gamers in the forefront thanks to a "Game Mode" that promises a "life sized" experience. In Game Mode, signal processing is optimized to HD game content, which supposedly reduces response time from 15ms to 5ms. Panasonic also claims that the mode enhances gradation in saturated areas to achieve a higher degree of detail. Other features include: 720p resolution, Light Harmonizer 2 technology for a clear picture in all lighting conditions, a redesigned optical unit that delivers 2000-lumen brightness, Advanced Dynamic Sharpness Control, and a 2x optical zoom lens. Available in Europe for £1098.99 (approx $2125). [Panasonic via Pocket-lint]
