Panasonic PT-FRZ50W Projector

The Panasonic PT-FRZ50W is a 1-chip DLP laser projector with a native WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200) resolution and a rated 5,200 lumens, sized for classrooms, meeting rooms, and mid-size worship spaces. It also accepts a 4K signal on its HDMI input and scales it to the panel, so a facility can standardize on 4K sources without swapping the projector. The laser light source is rated for about 20,000 hours before output halves, and the filterless, heat-pipe-cooled design keeps maintenance to essentially nothing over that span.

A 2.0x manual zoom lens with manual focus and a 1.46-2.94:1 throw range covers most rooms without an interchangeable lens, and lens shift squares the image from an off-center mount. Connectivity includes HDMI 2.0 with HDCP 2.2 plus analog computer in and out on 15-pin D-sub. This is the white (W) chassis; Quiet mode holds audible noise to 27 dB.
