Smooth and Detailed 4K Images from the Smallest, Lightest LCD Projector in Its Class
Making Immersive 4K Visuals More Accessible
Panasonic’s first 4K1 LCD projector delivers immersive detail from a sub-8 kg body—the smallest and lightest in its class2. Proprietary 2-axis pixel-shifting technology and high 8,000 lm3 brightness ensure clear, dimensional 4K1 visuals even in bright rooms. Precise detail reproduction suits diverse applications—from corporate and education spaces to experiential attractions such as museums—while Vivid Green Mode enhances natural greens for golf simulation.
1. Displayed resolution (3840 x 2400 pixels) with 2-axis pixel-shifting technology [ON].
2. As of January 2026, according to our research, the PT-VMQ85 is the smallest and lightest 4K LCD projector with more than 8,000 lm, and the PT-VMQ75 is the smallest and lightest among those with more than 7,300 lm.
3. Measured when [PICTURE MODE] is set to [DYNAMIC] and [LIGHT POWER] is set to [NORMAL]. Measurement, measuring conditions, and notation method comply with ISO/IEC 21118: 2020 international standards. Value is the average of all products when shipped.
Easy to Handle with Flexible Installation
A compact, lightweight design and convenient adjustment tools simplify transport, installation, and image alignment. The 1.6x optical zoom and wide-range lens shift provide flexibility to fit various installation spaces, while Angle Monitor streamlines single-person installation. With 4K DIGITAL LINK4 and two CEC command-compatible5 HDMI™ inputs, the series integrates into existing systems and supports widescreen (21:9/27:9) formats6 for modern visual applications.
4. YPBPR 4:2:0 format only for 4K/60p signals input via DIGITAL LINK.
5. Depending on the connected CEC command-compatible device, the link control may not operate normally.
6. Resolution may be reduced when projecting widescreen content at its native aspect ratio.
Efficient, Eco-Conscious Design
Advanced optical engineering delivers high-brightness 4K1 performance with outstanding energy efficiency of up to approximately 20 lm/W7. An Image Detection8 function automatically reduces light output when the projected image remains unchanged for a set period, saving power. The projector’s plastic body parts incorporate approximately 50%9 recycled resin, while recyclable paper trays replace foam insulation in the shipping carton, further reducing environmental impact.
7. For the PT-VMQ75 (light output: 7,300 lm, max. power consumption: 360 W). Values are preliminary.
8. Settings cannot be made when [DYNAMIC CONTRAST] is set to anything other than [OFF], [ECO MANAGEMENT] → [AUTO POWER SAVE] is set to [OFF], [ECO MANAGEMENT] → [LIGHT POWER] is set to anything other than [NORMAL], a [TEST PATTERN] is displayed, or there is no signal. Image Detection function is supported when the input signal is transmitted via HDMI™ or COMPUTER IN terminals.
