Panasonic has announced the upcoming release of a new series of 3LCD SOLID SHINE laser projectors, each featuring 0.64-inch LCD panels, and ranging in light output from 5,200 to 7,000 ISO21118 lumens—making them a good choice for situations with some ambient light, such as classrooms or conference rooms. The PT-VMZ71 Series consists of the 7,000-lumen VMZ71, the 6,200-lumen VMZ61 and VMW61, and the VMZ51, VMZ51S, and VMW51 that output 5,200 lumens. All six projectors have a dynamic contrast ratio of 3,000,000:1. The projectors are rated to last 20,000 hours in normal lamp mode (24,000 hours in Eco) without maintenance.
The PT-VMZ71 Series projectors all have a 16:10 aspect ratio—VMZ models of the series have a native WUXGA (1920x1200) resolution, while the VMW61 and VMW51 are WXGA (1280x800). All models support 4K/30 input, have a 1.6x zoom, and a 1.09-1.77:1 throw ratio. They have a +44% vertical and ±20% horizontal lens shift. A six-point screen correction feature allows the image to be perfectly lined up.
All projectors have two HDMI in that are CEC-compatible, and all but the VMZ51S have an HDBaseT input. The optional AJ-WM50 USB dongle is available to add Wi-Fi functionality to the Series.
