Laser light-source develops 5,200 lm3 with 3,000,000:15 Dynamic Contrast. Watts-per-lumen efficiency is about 20%6 better than other lamp-based short-throw models, and no light-source or filter maintenance is required for 20,000 hours7.

Flexible, Versatile, and Easy to Install

CMZ50 installs flexibly on ceiling or wall using optional mounts including ET-WBC100, a lightweight wall-mount system that ships partially preassembled for easy installation. Image adjustment is easilyperformed via remote control using Digital Zoom Extender and Image Shift8 function and powered focus. Stylish body and quiet 26 dB9 operation blend CMZ50 into your space, limiting distractions.

Availability may vary by country or region. 3 When [PICTURE MODE] is set to [DYNAMIC] and [LIGHT POWER] is set to [NORMAL]. Measurement, measuring conditions, and method of notation are all compliant with ISO/IEC 21118: 2020 international standards. Value is average of all products when shipped. 4 Value is the distance from front panel to screen. 5 Full On/Full Off, when [PICTURE MODE] is set to [DYNAMIC] and [DYNAMIC CONTRAST] is set to [1]. Measurement, measuring conditions, and method of notation all comply with ISO/IEC 21118: 2020 international standards. Value is average of all products when shipped. 6 Based on comparison between PT-CMZ50 (max. power consumption 350 W, brightness 5,200 lm) and PT-TW381R (max. power consumption 300 W, brightness 3,300 lm). 7 Around this time, light output will have decreased to approximately 50 % of its original level ([PICTURE MODE]: [DYNAMIC], [DYNAMIC CONTRAST] set to [2], temperature 30 °C [86 °F], elevation 700 m [2,297 ft] with 0.15 mg/m3 of particulate matter). Estimated time until light output declines to 50 % varies depending on environment. Filter can be washed and reused up to two times. Filter cleaning cycle: 20,000 hours (under dust conditions of 0.08 mg/m3), 10,000 hours (under dust conditions of 0.15 mg/m3). 8 Resolution decreases when using Digital Zoom Extender and Image Shift. Some screen-correction functions are not available when using this function, and range of corner adjustment is limited. Image size is reduced to 80 % when Digital Image Shift is enabled. 9 Value in QUIET Mode. 35 dB in NORMAL/ECO Mode. 10 A 2560 x 1080 (21:9) input signal is displayed at 1920 x 810 (21:9), and a 3240 x 1080 (27:9) input signal at 1920 x 640 (27:9). 11 When [ECO MANAGEMENT] > [QUICK STARTUP] is set to [ON]. [QUICK STARTUP] is unavailable after the [AVAILABLE PERIOD] setting has expired. When [QUICK STARTUP] is set to [ON], the projector continues to warm up, increasing power consumption, and the standby period when [QUICK STARTUP] is valid is included in projector runtime. [QUICK STARTUP] cannot be set when [STANDBY MODE] is set to [ECO]. May vary depending on connection terminals, signals, and other conditions. 12 Depending on the connected CEC command-compatible device, the link control may not operate normally.
