Barcelona (February 2026) – At the Integrated Systems Europe 2026 (ISE 2026) held in Barcelona, Spain, Panasonic Projector Display Corporation officially unveiled its all-new PT-VMQ85 Series 4K projectors. As Panasonic's first LCD projectors equipped with 4K 2-axis pixel shift technology, the series demonstrated its outstanding performance in immersive simulation, commercial experience and other scenarios to a global audience through an interactive golf simulator at the exhibition, boasting ultra-high brightness of over 8000 lumens, a lightweight body and professional-grade color optimization.
Core Breakthrough: 4K Ultra-HD Image Quality, Tailor-Made for Simulation Scenarios
The highlight of the PT-VMQ85 Series is Panasonic's self-developed 2-axis pixel shift technology, which delivers a physical display resolution of 3840×2400 pixels for exquisitely detailed, grain-free 4K ultra-HD visuals. Its unique square pixel structure significantly reduces the pixel grid effect during close viewing, rendering fine details such as the turf texture of golf courses and ball flight trajectories clearly distinguishable, laying a solid foundation for an immersive simulation experience.
"We will continue to bring compelling new products to the market through our innovative 4K driving technology. We will lead the development of new projector applications, such as the emerging sports simulation market, and strengthen MEVIX’s position as the leading 4K projector brand, driving further growth in the large-screen display industry."
Yousuke Adachi, CEO, Panasonic Projector & Display Corporation
Tailored to the core needs of golf simulation, the series exclusively features the Vivid Green mode – by precisely optimizing green hues and turf texture, it not only makes golf course visuals more lifelike but also enhances the clarity of ball flight tracking. Even in indoor ambient light, it delivers visually striking images with rich layers. Combined with a maximum brightness output of 8000 lumens, the PT-VMQ85 Series easily adapts to bright commercial spaces, maintaining clear and transparent visuals without additional shading.
Exquisite Design: Compact Body, Unlocking Diverse Installation Possibilities
The PT-VMQ85 Series inherits the lightweight DNA of Panasonic's MEVIX series, with a body weight of under 8 kilograms, making it the most compact and lightest product in its class (4K LCD projectors with over 8000 lumens). This design allows it to be flexibly installed in compact spaces such as golf simulation cabins, small experience rooms and meeting rooms, without the need for complex construction work.
In terms of installation convenience, the series is equipped with a throw ratio of 1.09–1.77:1, 1.6x optical zoom, and a wide-range lens shift function of +44% vertical and ±20% horizontal, enabling users to adjust the image position and size without moving the projector body. Meanwhile, the built-in screen angle monitor supports a single person to quickly complete tilt correction and image alignment, greatly reducing installation and commissioning costs.
In addition, the PT-VMQ85 Series is compatible with the Artome PT-VMZ-AVCART mobile cart, enabling quick scene switching to meet the flexible needs of corporate meetings, temporary experience events and other occasions. In terms of interfaces, it is equipped with 4K DIGITAL LINK and two HDMI interfaces supporting CEC commands, which can be seamlessly integrated into existing commercial systems for convenient device linkage and control.
Scenario Expansion: From Golf Simulation to Full-Scenario Commercial Experiences
Beyond its core application in golf simulation, the PT-VMQ85 Series can be widely used in commercial experience stores, education and training, corporate exhibition halls, interactive entertainment and other fields, thanks to its high image quality, high brightness and high reliability. Whether for immersive product displays or high-definition interactive teaching, it delivers consistent and outstanding visual performance with its stable functionality.
A relevant person in charge of Panasonic Projector Display Corporation stated: "The launch of the PT-VMQ85 Series is Panasonic's precise response to the market demands for simulation scenarios and commercial projection. We will continue to focus on technological innovation to create professional projection solutions that are more tailored to practical applications for global users, making 4K immersive experiences accessible to all."
Launch Information
The Panasonic PT-VMQ85 Series 4K projectors are scheduled to be officially launched in the second quarter of 2026, available in black and white body color options. Specific models and launch dates will vary by region. For more product details, please visit the official Panasonic website.
