Panasonic PT-VMW61U7 6,200 lm WXGA Laser LCD Projector / Digital Link / 4K Signal Input

Product Overview

The Panasonic PT-VMW61U7 is a 6,200-lumen WXGA laser 3LCD projector for meeting spaces and classrooms that need bright, legible images with the lights on. It combines a laser light source, Digital Link single-cable signal extension, and 4K signal input, making it a strong fit for conference room and lecture-hall AV systems. Built-in 1.6x optical zoom and lens shift give integrators placement flexibility, while support for Crestron Connected, Extron, AMX, and PJLink simplifies control-system integration. It supports 360-degree installation for permanent commercial deployments.

Product Description

The PT-VMW61U7 delivers WXGA (1,280 x 800) resolution with a 3,000,000:1 contrast ratio from a 3-chip LCD laser engine, producing vivid color and deep blacks suitable for data and video. Daylight View Basic uses an ambient-light sensor to optimize halftone color and brightness in lit rooms, and 6-point screen correction with V/H lens shift (+44% to 0% vertical, ±20% horizontal) and 1.6x zoom allows projection onto angled surfaces and off-axis screens. Digital Link carries video, audio, and control over a single cable for clean rack-to-projector runs, and the reusable ECO Filter is rated to roughly 20,000 hours of typical use. For a WUXGA-resolution alternative, compare the Panasonic PT-VMZ61U7; for a lower-brightness WXGA sibling, see the Panasonic PT-VMW51U7; and for a budget WUXGA model without Digital Link, the Panasonic PT-VMZ51SU7.
