Panasonic PT-VMZ82

PT-VMZ82 — 3LCD Laser Projector, WUXGA, 8,000 lm

The flagship of the VMZ82 Series and the world's smallest and lightest 8,000 lm projector in its class, in the same 399 x 115 x 348 mm body as the models below it. It's the generational replacement for the VMZ71 line and the gap is real: 27% more energy efficient at 21.2 lm/W, 5,000,000:1 dynamic contrast, and a set of installer-focused features the older series didn't have — a built-in gyro Angle Monitor so one person can set the projection angle, a rebuilt Screen Adjustment GUI with independent curved-screen correction, and built-in scheduling. Aimed at bright offices, lecture theatres and larger classrooms where dimming the lights isn't an option, plus sports-sim and gallery work thanks to the new Vivid Green mode and curved correction.
