World’s Smallest, Lightest, and Quietest 20,000 lm* LCD Projector

Introducing the smallest, lightest, and quietest LCD laser projector in its class with up to 20,000 lm* , compact 23 kg^*2 (50.7 lbs) body, and quiet 42 dB^*3 operation. Optimized optical engine delivers a 25 % increase in brightness over the 16,000 lm^*4 PT-MZ16KL from the same body size, ensuring clear visibility in well-lit spaces.
PT-MZ20KL Series achieves the world’s quietest¹ operation at 42 dB. Not only does it keep participants focused, it also contributes to an improved sound environment for applications such as hybrid conferences. When a quieter environment is required, noise level can be further reduced to
36 dB by setting the projector to QUIET Mode. This helps create an environment where all viewers can concentrate on the presentation.

Pure White Generator Delivers High Brightness and Rich Color

Pure White Generator, developed by Panasonic Connect, contributes to rich color reproduction at high brightness of up to 20,000 lm¹. Efficient light collection uses a multi-reflection system to minimize loss of light-source energy noticeable with conventional systems. It achieves an optimal color balance without sacrificing brightness for realistic and accurate color expression.

Dynamic Contrast NX Realizes a New Dimension of Light and Dark Control

Dynamic Contrast NX, a further evolution of Dynamic Contrast, uses a newly developed video-scene analysis circuit to recognize differences in brightness and darkness more precisely than before.
