Incredible 20,000 Im* of brightness

Panasonic’s unique quad-lamp system, with its new high-power UHM lamps, has helped to make the body
extremely compact while providing an astounding 20,000 lm* of brightness.

* The PT-DW17K has 17,000 lm of brightness.

Dynamic Iris for a high 10,000;1* contrast ratio

Panasonic’s Dynamic Iris uses a scene-linking aperture mechanism to achieve a remarkable 10,000:1* contrast
without lowering its high brightness. This helps to reproduce deeper, richer blacks, and provides images
with more detailed textures.

* Full on/off, with dynamic iris set to “3”.

Detail clarity processor 3 gives natural clarity to even the finest detials

This unique Panasonic circuit optimizes the sharpness of each image, based on the
super-high-, high-, medium-, and low-frequency components of the extracted image information. The resulting images have more natural, lifelike expression.

System daylight view 2 for enhanced color perception

This unique Panasonic technology optimizes image quality to improve the color perception of the projected image in bright rooms.
With a brightness of 20,000 lm*, it provides highly comfortable viewing even in bright lighting, and allows viewers to concentrate easily on the images.

* The PT-DW17K has 17,000 lm of brightness.

High Reliability and Low TCO with Easy Maintenance

Low TCO and an environmentally friendly design

The PT-DZ21K Series projectors lower the total cost of ownership (TCO) because they have a lamp replacement cycle of up to 2,000 hours*. Their environmentally friendly design also includes a low power consumption of 2,300 W.

* The values given for lamp replacement cycles are for landscape orientation. The usage environment affects the lamp replacement cycle.

Lamp mode	Brightness (lumens)		Lamp replacement cycle (hours)*
Lamp mode	PT-DZ21K PT-DS20K	PT-DW17K	Lamp replacement cycle (hours)*
Quad	20,000	17,000	2,000
Triple	15,000	12,750	2,600
Dual	10,000	8,500	4,000
Single	5,000	4,250	8,000

Four-lamp system enables stable, extended operation

The four-lamp system allows the projector to keep working even if a lamp should fail.
The Lamp Relay mode also operates the lamps alternately to enable 24/7 projection.
Quad, Triple, Dual and Single Lamp modes can be used.

Easy lamp replacement

For easier maintenance, you can replace the lamp from the rear. This makes it easy to replace a lamp while the projector is still in the mounting bracket or dual stacked.

Liquid cooling system attains a high level of reliability

This new liquid cooling system directly cools the DLP™ chip to improve performance and enable operation up to 45 °C (113 °F).*
It allows quiet (49 dB) and versatile use while stabilizing performance.
It also helps to make the body compact. And the system is hermetically sealed, so you don’t need to replenish the liquid.

* The operating temperature range is 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F) when the fan control is set to HIGH ALTITUDE MODE (for altitudes from 1,400 m to 2,700 m (4,593 ft to 8,858 ft) above sea level). When the projector is used with the ET-SFR510 Smoke Cut Filter, the operating temperature range is 0 °C to 35 °C (32 °F to 95 °F), and the projector cannot be used in places at high altitude.

Eco filter that needs no maintenance for up to 12,000 hours*

The Eco Filter has an electrostatic Micro Cut Filter that collects minute dust particles with an ion effect. It combines with the dust-resistant cabinet to enable long-term use even under harsh conditions. Its maintenance cycle of up to 12,000 hours reduces hassle, and the environmental design lets you wash the filter with water and reuse it.**

* The usage environment affects the filter maintenance cycle.
** When washing with water, please follow the procedures listed in the operating instructions. Also, we recommend replacing the filter with a new one after it has been washed and reused twice. If the filter is not sufficiently clean after washing, replace it with a new one.
