This review is from: PT-LB60NTU LCD Mobile Proj XGA 400:1 3200 Lumens Wireless 5.70LBSI work with a small team, and the intention of this purchase was so we could share our screens wirelessly and enhance collaboration. This projector has been an enormous disappointment from how it was billed.Before purchasing I first emailed Panasonic to see if it was Vista compatible. Absolutely they said. So I ordered. You know how you know when sales guys are lying? Their lips move. Something I'd forgotten in my excitement to get a good wireless projector.So as soon as it arrived, I pop the wireless driver CD (called "3.0ME") into my Vista box, and promptly get the following popup "????os???"OK. When you click OK, the driver install cancels. Mmm, you can almost taste the compatibility can't you?So I called Panasonic, where I got a very terse directive to go to the download site - to download "4.5 ME". Just as I was about to download I noticed it said that it was compatible with the 100NT, and the 51NT, but the 60NTU was not mentioned. I pointed this out to the brusque Panasonic techie who told me "look just download it, OK" and he hung up. So I did.Well after much fiddling it really wasn't working. So I uninstalled it, only to find that now the wireless on my laptop didn't work ie I couldn't access the web. So I called back Panasonic help, where I was told, "look your laptop working is nothing that I can help with" which I sort of appreciate, but I was trying to point out it was working perfectly until 4.5ME was installed. "Hey, I've got an idea" I said "How about I reinstall 4.5ME and see if that fixes whatever it messed with when it uninstalled itself out of the registry" . Great, he said. And so I did, and now - amazingly - the internet was working. But the wireless projector connection still was not.But the tech guy kept working with me - although he seemed to be referencing another product entirely which was frustrating for both of us. Finally he said "so you are using 4.5...I'm really not familiar with that, how about you install 3.0 then I can help you troubleshoot". I'm sorry, but when the tech help isn't familiar with the latest driver posted to the website something seems terribly wrong. "Its the latest driver" I pointed out "Yes but its not compatible with your projector" he said "Thats what I said the first time around to your colleague" I explained. It was all quite maddening.I then explained that actually I had tried to install 3.0 but the disc install failed. "Ahh" he said "You need the 3.0 download from the website". Well this was looking promising. So I downloaded and installed to find out...yup it was all in Japanese. No clue which buttons to click as they were all in Hiragana...Wow! This is compatibility??? Fortunately he knew which buttons to click, and he instructed me and off I went and STILL the machine wouldn't fire up using the wireless network. A picture would pop up for just a moment, but then close down. "It's a bug with Vista" he said. Well that may well be, but that's not how Panasonic sold this thing.So he told me what I needed to do was download another document that talked about how to wirelessly connect with Vista by manually setting up the IP addresses on the Network Drivers. "Well could you stick around and just talk me through this?" I asked. "Nope, I've never done it before, but the instructions look pretty easy" he said and then hung up. I stared mournfully at the dead telephone and began the lonely download.Well the good news is it does work. If you manually set the addresses which is a huge pain in the ass, denies you accessing the web on your wireless network, and can only deal with up to four users, and requires a whole set of undo steps on the back end to make the wireless work "properly" afterwards. Compatibility this isn't, this is jerry rigging.The picture is wonderful. But the wireless network set up is laughable for Vista, and for Panasonic to claim that this projector has compatibility is a near crime. Back it goes. What a waste of time money and effort. I hope this review helps someone avoid this aggravation....
