As well as increasing color-depth, the wheel-less design avoids the rainbow effect caused by color-wheel timing with the use of high-speed LED switching. By omitting the color-wheel normally required for 1-Chip DLP™ projection, viewers can enjoy the superior color, contrast, and resolution that defines DLP™ imaging technology without distracting artifacts.

A 1.3x optical zoom lens (conveniently operated via a recessed lever) expands the range of available throw-distances to achieve your desired image size for flexible projector installation. Vertical Lens-Shift (up to +52 %, +42 %)* positions the image at an ideal height when optimal projector location isn’t possible, while Vertical Corner Keystone (±30 %) corrects distortion from an angled projection.

* Panasonic PT-LRZ35U: (+50 %, +40 %), PT-LRW35: (+52 %, +42 %).

Note: Above throw-distance is for Panasonic PT-LRZ35U in 16:10 aspect ratio producing a 100-inch image.
PT-LRW35 requires 2.92 m–3.94 m throw-distance in 16:10 aspect ratio for a 100-inch image.

The PT-LRZ35 Series has a 10Base-T- and 100Base-T-compliant LAN terminal for control via a network using our free Multi Monitoring & Control Software or your choice of third-party control solution, including PJ Link™ (Class 2), Crestron^® Connected, and AMX. An RS-232C serial terminal is also included for control-signal transmission.

Weighing 6.7 kg (14.8 lbs), the PT-LRZ35 Series can be carried from room to room and conveniently installed on the ceiling thanks to its low body-mass. In business or education applications, compact dimensions make for easier handling and free up desk-space for laptops and notebooks.

With no color or phosphor wheels, the Panasonic PT-LRZ35U Series has fewer moving parts to wear out than a typical projector, adding to the design’s fantastic reliability. This significantly reduces TCO with fewer callouts and a smooth, professional presentation every time. You can depend on 20,000 hours* of maintenance-free projection at full brightness.

* At about 20,000 hours, Panasonic recommends cleaning or checkup at point of purchase. Light-source lifetime may be reduced depending on environmental conditions. Replacement of parts other than the light-source may be required within a shorter period. At 20,000 hours, brightness will have decreased to approximately 50 % of its original level (Light Output: NORMAL, Picture Mode: DYNAMIC).

Each LED unit has a discrete heat-sink to pull heat from the light source. Thanks to high-efficiency airflow and hermetically sealed DMD block, a consumable air-filter is not required, and there are no lamps to replace. This saves administrators on spare-part inventories, callouts, and maintenance over years of projection.

The new wheel-less light-engine created an opportunity to further refine the structural sealing around the DMD block so that dust intrusion is impossible. Hermetically sealed optical block maintains picture quality in even the dustiest environments, particularly high-traffic areas such as schools and offices.

These wheel-less projectors are essentially inaudible when operated in Quiet Mode, generating just 24 dB* of sound. This minimizes distraction and keeps your audience alert even if the lights are dimmed.

* Projection noise is 27 dB in ECO Mode and 35 dB in NORMAL Mode.

RGB LED light-engine supports instant image display when the projector is switched on and fast shut-down when switched off. Start your presentation immediately—no gradual picture fade-in as with lamp projectors, and no waiting for the unit to cool down when it’s time to leave. You can switch these projectors on and off whenever desired without risk of damage.
