6 Reasons For for Choosing the Panasonic PTEX16KU
The Panasonic PTEX16KU has a low (2500:1) contrast ratio, and so are the Benq SP870, the Epson PowerLite 1761W and the Sony VPLFX35, which is twice as high contrast ratio as the NEC NP4100 (very low). More ...
The contrast ratio is the ratio between the brightness of the brightest white and the brightness of darkest black that the projector can produce.
A higher contrast ratio means that the projector can produce images with greater contrast so that they will appear more vivid.
The Panasonic PTEX16KU is a 380 lamp power projector, whereas the Benq SP870 is only a 360W lamp power projector (20W smaller), the Epson PowerLite 1761W is only a 205W lamp power projector (175W smaller), the NEC NP4100 is only a 280W lamp power projector (100W smaller) and the Sony VPLFX35 is only a 275W lamp power projector (105W smaller). More ...
'Bulb Power' denotes how powerful the bulb in the projector is, measured in watts (W).
A more powerful bulb means that the projector will be seen clearer, and can project to surfaces father away without appearing too dark.
The Panasonic PTEX16KU supports full HD, however the Benq SP870, the Epson PowerLite 1761W, the NEC NP4100 and the Sony VPLFX35 do not support this feature. More ...
Full HD projectors can display full HD content such as films and HD TV.
Full HD projectors can display full HD content such as films and HD TV.
The Panasonic PTEX16KU has an Ethernet LAN, and so do the NEC NP4100 and the Sony VPLFX35, however the Benq SP870 and the Epson PowerLite 1761W do not. More ...
'Ethernet LAN' denotes whether the projector has the native capability to connect to the local network, in order to receive movie files and the like from your computer.
The Panasonic PTEX16KU is ceiling mountable, and so are the Benq SP870 and the Epson PowerLite 1761W, however the NEC NP4100 and the Sony VPLFX35 are not. More ...
'Ceiling Mountable' indicates whether the projector is capable of being mounted to the ceiling or not.
Ceiling mounting is the best way of assuring the projector always has a clear line of sight to the projecting surface.
The Panasonic PTEX16KU was released seven years ago, but the Benq SP870 was released nine years ago, the Epson PowerLite 1761W was released eight years ago, the NEC NP4100 was released 10 years ago and the Sony VPLFX35 was released 10 years ago
9 Reasons Against for Choosing the Panasonic PTEX16KU
The Panasonic PTEX16KU has a projector native resolution of 1024 x 768 (XGA) (as are the Benq SP870 and the Sony VPLFX35), whereas the Epson PowerLite 1761W and the NEC NP4100 have a projector native resolution of 1280 x 800 (WXGA). More ...
The projector native resolution is the resolution of image that the projector is able to produce. The resolution is expressed as the number of horizontal pixels by the number of vertical pixels.
A projector with a higher native resolution will be able to display more detailed images such as HD content.
The Panasonic PTEX16KU is a 51 projector. That's 15dB louder than the Benq SP870 (36dB), 11dB louder than the Epson PowerLite 1761W (40dB), 13dB louder than the NEC NP4100 (38dB) and 20dB louder than the Sony VPLFX35 (31dB). More ...
The noise level of the projector is the amount of noise that the projector makes (caused by the cooling fan inside the projector) when it is running.
A lower noise level means that the projector will be quieter when it is running. This means that you will be able to appreciate the quieter parts of films better without the background noise of the projector running. Most projectors have a noise level between 30 and 40Db, which rates them as 'very quiet' by Industial Noise Control - on par with low bird calls, or a quiet rural area. You can find more information here: http://www.industrialnoisecontrol.com/comparative-noise-examples.htm.
The Panasonic PTEX16KU has a service life of lamp of 2 (as do the Benq SP870 and the NEC NP4100), however the Epson PowerLite 1761W is a 4,000h lamp service life projector (2,000h longer) and the Sony VPLFX35 is a 3,000h lamp service life projector (1,000h longer). More ...
'Service Life' indicates how long the lamp in the projector will last before it needs to be replaced, measured in hours.
A longer life lamp means you'll need to replace it far less frequently, saving you money.
The Panasonic PTEX16KU does not have a built-in speaker (As does the the Sony VPLFX35), but the Benq SP870, the Epson PowerLite 1761W and the NEC NP4100 have this feature. More ...
A projector with built in speakers is able to play sound as well as display images.
Built in speakers mean that you don't need a separate amplifier to play sound with the projector image.
The Panasonic PTEX16KU has only received a Kagoo Score of 60, but the Benq SP870 scored 82, the Epson PowerLite 1761W scored 80, the NEC NP4100 scored 71 and the Sony VPLFX35 scored 72.
The Panasonic PTEX16KU is $6,695 more expensive than the Benq SP870, $6,445 more expensive than the Epson PowerLite 1761W, $5,280 more expensive than the NEC NP4100 and $4,066 more expensive than the Sony VPLFX35.
The Panasonic PTEX16KU is only stocked by 1 retailer, however the Epson PowerLite 1761W is stocked by 2 stores. More ...
Over five years the Panasonic PTEX16KU costs $470 to run which is $383 more than the Benq SP870, $393 more than the NEC NP4100 and $331 more than the Sony VPLFX35. Show assumptions.
Panasonic projectors have an average rating of only 67%, however Benq has an average rating of 93.9%, Epson has an average rating of 95%, NEC has an average rating of 82.4% and Sony has an average rating of 92.6%.
The cheapest price that we could find for the PTEX16KU in the US is $6,995.00 but in total we found only 1 price for it.
