A high brightness projector with 3000lm, the VPL-CX120 has the flexibility to work where and how you want - for business and education. Suitable for ceiling, rear installation or portable use.

However hot your presentation is, with 3000 ANSI Lumens of brightness you can be sure the VPL-CX120 will keep its cool. It's the ideal combination of both projecting power and brighter, sharper, and more colorful images.

Panasonic's DLP system projectors have taken another step forward. Now they produce even better images while maintaining all of their highly reliable functions. Their 6,000-lm brightness delivers crisp, easy-to-see images even in brightly lit classrooms and meeting rooms, to make presentations easier to understand.

The PT-D5700E offers full 6,000 lumens of brightness, thanks to the newly developed AC lamp and more efficient reflectors and synthetic mirror. This enables crisp, sharp images even when projecting in a classroom, meeting room, or other location with ordinary daytime lighting.

The system daylight view function uses an image processing circuit to compensate for the loss of color saturation that occurs when light reflects onto the screen from bright surroundings. It is especially effective for producing crisp, sharp images in dark portions containing gradation. The function can be adjusted in three steps.

Anybody can operate the PT-D5700E by remote control or monitor its status over a LAN network, because it is all done using the computer's familiar Web browser. Furthermore, the PT-D5700E sends an e-mail message to notify the operator when an error has occurred, or a lamp needs to be replaced.

Panasonic's vision of the digital future is driven by the needs and aspirations of its business customers and millions of consumers around the world who use its products every day. The company shares their dream to live a fuller life by providing ways of working smarter and enjoying the rewards of technological advances.

This product is designed for Panasonic PT-D9600, PT-D9600E, PT-D9600U, PT-D9500, PT-D9500E, PT-D9500U projectors.
