Panasonic PT-LMZ420 4200 Lumens WUXGA 3LCD Laser Projector
PT-LMZ460 Series features a convenient screen adjustment system operable by remote control. It includes Automatic Vertical Keystone Correction that fixes trapezoidal distortion when the projector is tilted up or down; 4-Corner and Horizontal/Vertical Keystone Correction to correct the image when projecting at an angle; 6-Point Correction that removes distortion when projecting an image into the corner of a room; and Curved Screen Correction to remove barrel or pincushion distortion when projecting onto curved surfaces.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Effortless Projection Anywhere, Anytime
Take It Anywhere
LMZ460 Series has width and depth not much larger than a laptop computer and weighs just 4.2 kg (9.26 lbs). It’s light enough to carry wherever you need to go, and is easy to install on the ceiling. Setup is simple: just set on a desktop, connect your source, switch on, and start presenting.
Start Work Instantly
Start the class or meeting instantly without delays that lose your group’s attention. Unlike lamp-based projectors, which take time to start up, LMZ460 Series projects your content about one second1 after powering on from standby thanks to its SOLID SHINE Laser light source. It also features a Direct Off function, so you can turn the projector off any time via the room breaker.
1 When [ECO MANAGEMENT] > [QUICK STARTUP] is set to [ON]. [QUICK STARTUP] is unavailable after the [AVAILABLE PERIOD] setting has expired. When [QUICK STARTUP] is set to [ON], the projector continues to warm up, increasing power consumption. When [QUICK STARTUP] is set to [ON], the standby period when the [QUICK STARTUP] function is valid will be added as the projector runtime. [QUICK STARTUP] cannot be set when [STANDBY MODE] is set to [ECO]. May vary depending on connection terminals, signals, and other conditions.
Quiet Operation Keeps People Focused
Quiet Mode reduces operating noise to as little as 23 dB1—the same apparent loudness as rustling leaves. LMZ460 Series fits unobtrusively into the installation environment and minimizes distractions even when the group is seated close by the projector. Quiet projection helps keep attention focused on the presentation, whether your class or colleagues are in the room or participating remotely.
1 For PT-LMZ420/LMW420/LMX420 in QUIET Mode (33 dB in NORMAL/ECO Mode).
PT-LMZ460/LMW460/LMX460: 24 dB (QUIET Mode), 35 dB (NORMAL/ECO Mode).
Digital Zoom Extender Adds Digital Image Shift Function
Digital Zoom Extender evolves with a new Digital Image Shift function. Digital Image Shift provides a convenient workaround when it’s not possible to install the projector at the center of the screen due to light fittings or air-conditioning vents on the ceiling, or in cases where the ceiling is too high. You can use the remote control to digitally shift the image 10% up or down and 10% left or right so it fits on your screen.
Digital Zoom Extender function allows you to keep the same mount position as your old projector even if it’s too far from the screen, saving construction work. It extends throw-distance past the range of optical zoom so the image is projected at the desired size on your screen. Furthermore, LMZ460 Series uses the same mount and attachment bracket as the conventional lamp-based PT-LB426 Series, so if you’re updating, you can bolt the new projector straight in.
Note: Resolution decreases when using Digital Zoom Extender and Image Shift. Some screen correction functions are not available when using this function, and range of corner adjustment is limited. Use of the same projector mounts may not be possible in every situation. Image size reduced to 80 % when Digital Image Shift is enabled.
Screen Adjustment with Automatic Vertical Keystone Correction
PT-LMZ460 Series features a convenient screen adjustment system operable by remote control. It includes Automatic Vertical Keystone Correction that fixes trapezoidal distortion when the projector is tilted up or down; 4-Corner and Horizontal/Vertical Keystone Correction to correct the image when projecting at an angle; 6-Point Correction that removes distortion when projecting an image into the corner of a room; and Curved Screen Correction to remove barrel or pincushion distortion when projecting onto curved surfaces.
Note: 6-Point Screen Adjustment available on PT-LMZ460/LMZ420 only.
Efficient, Reliable, and Cost-Effective
Designed for Stress-free Life
Excellent picture quality is just one benefit of laser projection. Both the light source and ECO Filter don’t need to be replaced until about 20,000 hours1. Comparable lamp projectors would need between one and four lamp changes plus filter maintenance if operated for the same amount of time. You also don’t need to worry about disposing of expired lamps, and the ECO Filter can be washed and reused, saving waste. It’s easy to see how laser projection reduces cost and maintenance hassle. And thanks to the light-source’s controlled brightness ramp and consistently uniform color reproduction, images stay clear and vivid for much longer.
1 Around this time, light output will have decreased to approximately 50 % of its original level ([PICTURE MODE]: [DYNAMIC], [DYNAMIC CONTRAST] set to [2], temperature 30 °C [86 ° F], elevation 700 m [2,297 ft] with 0.15 mg/m3 of particulate matter). Estimated time until light output declines to 50 % varies depending on environment. Filter can be washed and reused up to two times (see Operating Manual for details). Filter cleaning cycle: 20,000 hours (under dust conditions of 0.08 mg/m3), 10,000 hours (under dust conditions of 0.15 mg/m).3
Eco-friendly Design Saves You and the Environment
Make the change to eco-friendly Panasonic projection and reduce impact on the environment in line with your organization’s SDGs. LMZ460 Series uses light 1.6 times1 more efficiently than conventional lamp-based models, increasing brightness by about 27%2 while reducing energy consumption by 20%3. Maximum power consumption in NORMAL Mode is just 240 W. These energy savings really add up, especially if you’re operating more than one projector. You can improve energy efficiency even further by setting the projector to ECO or QUIET modes.

SOLID SHINE for Clear Images in Bright Light
Vivid Image Quality in Well-Lit Rooms
Classroom and office projectors need to be powerful enough to cut through bright ambient light, or the picture looks dull and washed out. Despite its compact body and light 4.2 kg (9.26 lbs) weight, LMZ460 Series packs up to 4,600 lm1 of brightness for sharp, well-saturated pictures with the room lights on and blinds open.

WUXGA1 Panels for an Insightful Visual Experience
WUXGA1 (1920 x 1200) LCD panels improve text definition and clarify details for a more engaging presentation. With higher panel resolution than Full HD (1920 x 1080) projectors, LMZ460 Series can reproduce images at their original aspect ratio and reduce the need to scroll when projecting webpages and spreadsheets thanks to the extra image height.

Dynamic Contrast Adds Depth and Realism
Dynamic Contrast analyzes the video signal frame-by-frame and digitally adjusts light output according to the contrast requirements of each scene. It features scene-linking technology for greater realism when dark and light scenes frequently interchange. As well as accurate reproduction of images that contain a mix of dark and bright shades, Dynamic Contrast is more energy-efficient than other technologies. The high 3,000,000:11 contrast ratio delivers impressive detail definition in shadows and improves text legibility for more comfortable viewing.
