Panasonic PT-VMZ7ST

PT-VMZ7ST — 3LCD Short-Throw Laser Projector, WUXGA, 7,000 lm

The short-throw member of the family: same generation of electronics as the VMZ82, but with a 0.797–1.01:1 lens that puts a 100-inch image on the wall from 1.72 m. That's the whole point — the presenter stands in front of the screen without casting a shadow, and the projector sits close enough that cable runs and mount hardware stay simple. Beyond the classroom and meeting-room use case it's built for golf simulators and museum work: 7,000 lm, 5,000,000:1 dynamic contrast, the new Vivid Green mode, and curved-screen correction that now adjusts each side independently. Powered focus via the remote matters more here than usual, since short-throw units end up in awkward, hard-to-reach mounting positions.
