Most of the major electronics releases come in January, but if we had something like Panasonic’s PT-AE1000U, we’d have a hard time spilling the beans too.

This could be the greatest thing to ever come out of Panasonic—at least from the projector side. The 1080p unit has a brightness of 1,100 lumens and a contrast ratio of 11,000:1 (that’s not a typo!).

With projectors like these, I can’t imagine that box office receipts will be skyrocketing anytime soon—unless you enjoy Milk Duds sticking to the bottom of your shoes. You can’t put a price on an experience like that!

With the ability to broadcast a 100-inch image from about five feet away, this is a product that the true home theater geek can get behind. But can you imagine playing games with this thing? My eyes are already twitching with enthusiasm.
