Panasonic portable projectors a ‘World’s first’
The newly launched Panasonic compact PT-VW350 series is the industry’s lightest and smallest 4000 lumen class LCD projector, with capability for wireless mirroring of PC and Android™ devices.
The four model series launched at ISE 2015 comprises of the PT-VW355N (WXGA, 4,000
lm) and PT-VX425N (XGA, 4,500 lm) and two non-network variants, the PT-VW350 (WXGA,
4,000 lm) and PT-VX420 (XGA, 4,500 lm), both with similar base specification.
Hartmut Kulessa, Marketing Manager Projector Products, Panasonic Visual System
Solutions, said, “The new portable projectors feature an industry-beating 10,000:1 contrast
ratio and, thanks to an innovative cooling system, they are the lightest in their class at just
3.3 kg and 3.4 kg for network models.
“As well as superior brightness and contrast over legacy models, lamp replacement has also
been extended to 5,000 hours (7,000 hours in Eco Mode), resulting in lower total cost of
ownership.”
Networked models will support wireless mirroring of almost any media including video,
websites, and documents via Intel® Pro WiDi. This new wireless mirroring supports simple
connection, improved stability, better security and faster response times.
Together with enhanced Miracast connection for Android devices and proprietary apps for
iOS, Android™, and PC, these wireless solutions allow free collaboration and communication
in the office and classroom.

portable projection with bright, pin-sharp picture quality, trouble-free operation, and a wealth
of wired and wireless connectivity options, that are easy for anyone to use,” Hartmut Kulessa
continued.
Like all Panasonic projectors, the VW350 series is flexible to fit in almost any room size, with
