It’s easy to design a home theater with complete darkness in mind. However, a commercial display doesn’t always have that luxury. That’s why Panasonic is introducing its new PT-LZ370U projector. 

Designed to deliver gorgeous images even in ambient light, the PT-LZ370U can deliver a full 1080p HD resolution. It even has support for 3D content.

The PT-LZ370U also has 3,000 lumens brightness, a 10,000:1 contrast ratio, Panasonic’s own Detail Clarity Processor 3 technology and the Daylight View Premium feature. It also has something called the Dynamic Iris Pro system, which can analyze the brightness level of each image and adjust the lamp power, iris and gamma curve accordingly.

“With an increasing amount of content being produced in HD, our business customers need a projector that can bring it to life in its true form,” said Scott Wellington, Panasonic’s product marketing manager. “The PT-LZ370U projector’s 1920 x 1080 resolution, combined with high brightness and an excellent contrast ratio, make it an ideal device for a number of our customers in a variety of industries. For example, filmmakers can show their work to a film class, providing students with greater insight into their original vision and showing them the fine details they were not able to display before.”

Panasonic also says that the PT-LZ370U can accommodate a wide range of room shapes, thanks to a 2x zoom lens and wide vertical/horizontal lens shift capabilities. Other features include support for Crestron’s RoomView, two HDMI inputs, and audio variable out terminals.

The PT-LZ370U is listed with an MSRP of $4,499. It’s available now, via authorized Panasonic resellers.
