The Bottom Line While not quite as impressive as more expensive DLPs, the budget Panasonic PT-AE900U LCD is the champion of its price bracket so far. The new chip in Samsung's SP-A900B helps it to outperform every projector in its class, including its step-down Joe Kane-designed brother, and to compete favorably against significantly more-expensive three-chip DLP projectors. Very attractive design combined with decent performance and an affordable price make the Hitachi HDPJ52 an excellent value in LCD front projection. With lens shift, high resolution, and plenty of adjustments, this LCD projector stands out from the midpriced pack.
