Panasonic PT-CMZ50BU Ultra-Short-Throw WUXGA 3LCD Laser Projector, Black

The Panasonic PT-CMZ50BU is an ultra‐short throw LCD laser projector designed to deliver exceptionally bright, high‐contrast visuals for education, corporate, and museum environments. Its innovative design allows it to project an expansive 80-inch image from a very short distance (approximately 1 cm / 1⁄3 in.), ensuring presenters can share information confidently without on-screen shadows or distracting lens glare.

Built with advanced 3LCD technology and a laser diode light source, this projector offers outstanding longevity—with up to 20,000 hours in NORMAL/QUIET mode and 24,000 hours in ECO mode—as well as a wealth of connectivity options. Flexible installation options (ceiling, floor, front, or rear with full 360° placement) and a fast, frictionless user experience make it an excellent choice for versatile setups.
