Panasonic Intros New Portable LCD Projectors
October 21, 2003
Mississauga, ON - Panasonic Canada today announced availability of two new LCD projectors designed for smaller venues such as classrooms, boardrooms and home screening use. Both projectors deliver picture quality in 1024 x 768 native XGA resolution and are HDTV compatible.
The PT-LC80U and the PT-L735U offer improved portability, ultra-quiet operation, and one-touch “Auto Everything” set-up, the manufacturer describes. Both models also include short throw lens which shorten projection distance.
The PT-LC80U weighs 2.2 kg. It projects a brightness of 2,000 ANSI Lumens to provide a sharp, crisp picture. The projector also provides a 400:1 contrast ratio and a 3x digital zoom and focus. The PT-LC80U has two lamp mode options, standard and lower lamp. The projector was designed to be used in lower lamp mode to save on energy consumption and lengthens the lamp life to 3,000 hours.
The PT-L735U weighs 4.2 kg and projects a brightness of 2,600 ANSI Lumens offering a vibrant picture from a 200W UHM Lamp. The projector features an automatic input signal detector for quick additions to presentations, dual 5-watt speakers and a 2,000 hour lamp life.
Both projectors feature a 16 x 9 projection capability with a native ratio of 4 x 3 and 90% brightness uniformity. Both models have lenses equipped with powered zoom/focus adjustment. The PT-LC80U and the PT-L735U each can automatically synchronize to display 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i video. The projectors support most worldwide video standards, including NTSC, PAL and SECAM. Both projectors are sRGB compatible and feature selectable colour temperature, auto power off feature and blackboard mode which allows the user to project directly onto a blackboard.
The PT-LC80U suggested retail price is $5620 and the PT-735U suggested retail price is $7150 (CDN).
