Panasonic Portable Projector Now Available
August 12, 2003
Secaucus, NJ - Panasonic's new PT-L780U portable XGA LCD projector is now available, the manufacturer has announced.
Weighing only 12.8 pounds, this projector incorporates three TFT Active Matrix Polysilicon LCD panels and a 270W UHM lamp delivers a high brightness of 3,200 ANSI lumens and a 500:1 contrast ratio.
The PT-L780U displays vibrant colors and bright, vivid images in true 1024 X 768 XGA/maximum UXGA resolution with a 90% image uniformity.
Ensuring easy set-up and operation, the PT-L780U offers One-touch Auto Setup with horizontal and vertical digital keystone correction, and its versatile lens allows powered zoom/focus adjustment. For up-close presentations, the PT-LC780U is equipped with a large-diameter, extra-short throw lens that shortens the necessary projection distance. For example, a user can project on a 40-inch wide screen from only five feet away.
For presentation versatility, the PT-LC780U includes two RGB inputs, which eliminate the need to juggle and re-connect equipment when giving consecutive presentations from two different computers. The RGB2 terminal can also serve as a loop-through monitoring terminal for the RGB1 input, which is extremely beneficial for applications such as education.
The projector is HDTV-ready and can automatically synchronize to display 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i video in either standard 4:3 or widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio. The PT-L780U is also sRGB compatible to ensure uniform, accurate color reproduction with other sRGB-compatible imaging devices. In addition, the units support most worldwide video standards, including NTSC, PAL and SECAM. Its Digital Cinema Reality circuit greatly improves viewing quality from film-based video sources.
The PT-L780U's list of standard features also include quiet operation (as low as 35dB); 2,000-hour lamp life (in low-power mode); 3X digital zoom and focus; built-in two watt stereo speakers; selectable seven-language on-screen menu; advanced shutter function; freeze function; and remote controller with laser pointer.
The projector's dimensions are 11-7/17" W x 5-3/8" H x 16" D.
The PT-L780U is currently available at a suggested list cost of $6,199. Optional accessories include: quick-to-install bayonet type short- and long-throw lenses, ceiling mount brackets, wireless mouse control receiver and custom hard case.
