Panasonic PT-TMW380U 3,800 Lumens, WXGA (1280 x 800), LCD Short-Throw Laser Projector

Product Overview

The Panasonic PT-TMW380U is a 3,800-lumen WXGA short-throw laser LCD projector for conference rooms, classrooms, and training rooms. This short-throw commercial projector places a large, bright image on screen from a wall-adjacent position, reducing presenter shadowing and supporting flexible installation in shallow meeting spaces.

Product Description

The PT-TMW380U pairs a 3,800-lumen laser light source with a 3LCD imaging system for bright, color-accurate output suitable for dark to moderately lit rooms. Its short throw lets integrators mount the projector close to the screen or wall, which narrows the gap where someone could walk into the beam and expands installation options in conference and training rooms. Dual HDMI and dual VGA inputs accept laptops, streaming devices, and media players, while automatic and manual keystone correction and 360-degree installation support ceiling, table, and angled mounting. A long laser light-source life reduces maintenance in fixed commercial deployments. For higher brightness or a WUXGA short-throw option, compare it with Panasonic PT-TMZ400U, Panasonic PT-LMW420U.
