Many people want to use special colors and designs in their presentations, but these colors change when they're projected onto the screen in a lighted room. So they just use plain, basic colors. As a result, the presentation is visually boring and looks just like their competitors. Panasonic solves this problem with the PT-LB20U micro-portable projector featuring innovative Daylight View technology. This projector greatly improves image performance in brightly lit places. In fact, the 2,000-lumen brightness of the PT-LB20U achieves a level of image performance that equals many 3,000-lumen projectors.The PT-LB20U delivers the ultimate in convenience and portability. Speed Start slashes the time it takes to get your presentation under way. The image appears within two seconds after you press the power button. One-Touch Auto Setup with Digital Keystone Correction assures quick and easy setup. The projector handles the basic image adjustments, from phasing to vertical and horizontal position and the built-in gravity sensor detects the projectors angle relative to the floor and corrects for vertical keystone distortion accordingly. When the presentation is completed, Direct Power Off lets you disconnect the power cable and move the projector right away because the cooling fan keeps operating until the lamp is cooled. minimize

Light weight, but poor performer.

Started Feb 5, 2006

Strengths: Light weight, easy to use.

Weaknesses: Poor image and color.

The Panasonic PT-LB20U was on my radar for a long time before I decided to buy the InFocus LP-540 instead. I was drawn by the LB20U's design and the idea that the so called "Daylight Feature" would make it brighter than other 2000 lumen projectors. I decided on the InFocus over the Panasonic PT-LB20U simply because it was the only projector of the two I could actually see being demonstrated in the store where I made my purchase.

You may be wondering why I am writing about the Panasonic if I bought the InFocus. About a month ago I made a second projector purchase and this time decide to give the Panasonic a try. What a mistake. The only thing that could possibly make this projector worth the money is its portability and relative ease of use. Other than this I would strongly urge anyone seriously looking at the LB20U to look elsewhere. I do not recommend this projector. The image quality is grainy, the color is under-saturated, and the "Daylight Feature" is nowhere near as effective as Panasonic claims.

The Panasonic pales in comparison with my InFocus LP-540. In a side by side comparison the InFocus made the Panasonic look terrible. With the Panasonic's "Daylight Feature" turned on the image was less bright than the image projected by my InFocus. This was very surprising since the Panasonic claims to be a 2000 lumens projector and my InFocus is only rated at 1700 lumens. The Panasonic fells cheaply constructed and very fragile. Panasonic has clearly traded weight and compact size for the quality of the this projector.

Try purchasing the VGA connector for this and you will be amazed at the difference. Infocus will them be your back up.
