FEATURES & BENEFITS

Panasonic PT-VMZ82U7 8000-Lumen WUXGA Standard-Throw Golf Simulator Projector Specs

The PT-VMZ82U7 & PT-VMZ82BU7 is built for serious simulator spaces where every detail matters. With up to 8,000 ANSI lumens of laser-powered brightness and true WUXGA resolution (1920×1200), it delivers crisp, vibrant visuals that hold up even with ambient light around. Each shot — from tee strike to landing — appears clear and lifelike.

Installation’s a breeze: it uses a standard throw ratio (1.09–1.77:1) and lots of lens shift so you can mount it in higher ceilings or tight bays and still get full-screen coverage with minimal fuss. Whether you’re in a dedicated sim room or repurposing a large lounge, it fits and performs.

Panasonic’s “Vivid Green Mode” gives turf the rich, accurate look you want in a golf sim — the fairways, rough and greens don’t just look good, they feel real. And thanks to the laser engine, the image stays consistent over time with less maintenance and less downtime.

If you’re building out a serious simulator where space, flexibility and image quality matter, the PT-VMZ82U7 brings pro-level performance without the complexity. Rain or Shine can help you dial throw distance, screen size and mounting so your setup delivers the way you envision.

Frequently asked questions

Is the PT-VMZ82U7 bright enough for rooms with natural or overhead light?

Yes. With an impressive 8,000 lumens, the PT-VMZ82U7 is built for high-brightness environments like garages, studios, or retail simulator bays where light control is limited.

What throw distance should I plan for with the PT-VMZ82U7?

Its 1.09–1.77:1 standard-throw lens fits most bay depths. For a 10-foot-wide impact screen, expect to mount it around 11–15 feet back for full, edge-to-edge coverage.

Does the PT-VMZ82U7 stay quiet during simulator sessions?

It does. In Eco Mode, fan noise drops to about 25 dB — nearly silent in most rooms, keeping your environment focused and immersive.

How long will the PT-VMZ82U7 maintain brightness before servicing?

The sealed laser light source delivers up to 20,000 hours of consistent performance. Combined with a washable filter, it’s practically maintenance-free for years of daily use.

Who should choose the PT-VMZ82U7 over the PT-VMZ72U7?

Golfers with larger screens, higher ceilings, or brighter spaces benefit most from the extra output. If you want maximum punch and course realism regardless of lighting, the VMZ82U7 is the premium pick.
