Panasonic PT-L500U 3LCD Projector

The PT-L500U's phenomenal picture quality is generated by three 1,280 x 720 pixel, widescreen HD LCD panels. Its high-efficiency optical system delivers a contrast ratio of up to 1,300:1 and 850 ANSI lumens of brightness. An extra short throw lens allows the PT-L500U to produce a 100" diagonal 16:9 aspect ratio image with a throw distance of just 10 feet, making it ideal for small boardrooms or media room uses. The projector is outfitted with wide range of inputs. Its HDCP compatible DVI input directly accepts digital signals from DVD and other digital sources. Component video inputs allow the user to enjoy the full quality of images from progressive scan DVD players, while the PC IN input can be used to connect other multi-media computer sources. A trigger terminal is also included, so opening and closing of a screen may be easily achieved by powering the projector on and off. The PT-L500U is also a quiet operator. It features a new fan design that lowers operating noise (to as low as 27dB) while simultaneously reducing light leakage.
