lexa695,
The Panasonic and Fujitsu use the same glass,
so being feed native resolution they do look very
similar. That's were it ends, the Panasonic has
a horrible scaler built in compared to the Fujitsu.
You'll see more trash (artifacting) in the picture
watching a Panasonic vs. Fujitsu when it's not
the native resolution.
Also, the Fujitsu supports full discrete codes
for itself (both IR & RS-232) making it easy to
control in a complex or even simple system design.
Last but not least, quality. The Fujitsu has a
3 year warranty out-of-the-box, and I have never
had a customer that has had to use it. Panasonic,
good luck.... piece of s***!
