With 4000 lumens and a 600:1 contrast ratio, the Panasonic PT-FX400U XGA LCD Projector possesses the image power to project vivid, saturated pictures in a variety of lighting situations. Panasonic's LCD projector offers brighter and more vivid images with full high definition resolution.

The Panasonic PT-FX400U Projector touts a Daylight View Premium feature that provides bright, crisp images even in brightly lit conditions for a superb picture no matter the time of day. Along with the RGB Booster, this combines high brightness and superb color reproduction; a host of technologies work together to enhance image quality.

The unit houses an advanced dust-resistant design, which minimizes image degradation by reducing the entry of dust into the unit. The effect of dust has been minimized by completely sealing the optical block, which provides an airtight structure that is impenetrable to any outside elements. The unit is a dual lamp design and auto cleaning filter technology extends operating stability and contributes to reliability. It is no secret that the Panasonic PT-FX400U projector is brighter and better than ever with a compilation of numerous Panasonic proprietary technologies.

In new installations, the same features easily accommodate a wide range of room sizes and shapes

    Comments about Panasonic PT-FX400U XGA LCD Projector:

    Inexpensive, bright, long lamp life. What more could you ask for? We've had the older brother, the FX300 installed in a classroom with daily usage for over two years and we haven't even replaced the lamp. the 400 looks on track for the same.
