Feb. 1, 2022 - With a trend for more frequent and smaller meetings rooms and collaboration spaces, Panasonic announces its latest series of portable LCD laser projectors to meet the emerging needs of education, business and other environments. The PT-VMZ71 Series, with four WUXGA and two WXGA resolution models ranging from 5200-7000lm and high 3,000,000:1 contrast, is ideal for well-lit classrooms and hybrid learning environments, as well as new workspaces and meetings rooms needing interactive, easy collaboration. 

The PT-VMZ71 Series will be available April 2022 and will replace the current PT-VMZ60 Series with improved brightness and functionality while retaining the same lightweight and compact body – making the top of the range PT-VMZ71 projector the lightest in its class weighing just 15.87lbs (*1).

Designed for smooth and effective communication, the PT-VMZ71 Series supports 4K input signals, has a flexible 1.6x optical zoom, HDMI terminals compatible with CEC command signals for easy use with a single remote controller for all compatible AV equipment and a wide range of collaboration options, including optional wireless projection and powered USB to easily share a variety of media to the big screen.

To reduce running costs and enhance reliability, the PT-VMZ71 Series features Panasonic’s SOLID SHINE Laser light-source and Eco Filter which does not require replacement for 20,000 hours. Power consumption in NORMAL Mode is also reduced by around 15% compared to certain models in the previous VMZ60 series.
