Product Overview
The Panasonic PT-REQ80LBUG is an 8,000-lumen 1-chip DLP laser projector with 4K resolution (3840 x 2400) via Quad Pixel Drive, built for permanent commercial AV installations that need bright 4K imagery with low maintenance. Its filter-free, hermetically sealed optical engine is rated for 20,000 hours, suiting auditoriums, houses of worship, and government spaces that run extended duty cycles. The TAA-compliant black cabinet ships without a lens, letting integrators match optics to each room.
Product Description
The PT-REQ80LBUG uses a solid-state laser light source with Quad Pixel Drive to produce 4K-class detail from a single-chip DLP engine at 8,000 lumens. The sealed, filter-free design removes filter cleaning from the maintenance schedule and supports continuous operation across roughly 20,000 hours, while backup input mode and multi-laser drive add redundancy for mission-critical rooms. The no-lens configuration gives AV designers freedom to specify the right throw, and TAA compliance supports procurement-sensitive projects. Integrators comparing options can move up to the 10,000-lumen PT-REQ10LBU, choose the non-TAA PT-REQ80LBU, select the white PT-REQ80LWU, or step to the WUXGA PT-REZ80LBU7.
