Features That Go the Distance
Deep Imaging Power with WUXGA Resolution
Sporting a 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA) resolution, this projector delivers a cleaner, sharper image than standard 1080p. It’s perfect for showing off those rolling fairways, complex greens, and all the data overlays your simulator software throws at you.
Bright and Vivid – 5,000 ANSI Lumens
High brightness ensures stunning image clarity, even in daylight or with your garage door wide open. No blackout curtains required.
High Contrast for Depth and Detail
With a 16,000:1 contrast ratio, whites stay brilliant, blacks stay deep, and everything in between stays richly defined—ideal for reading ball flight data and visualizing terrain.
Quiet Operation for Focused Practice
With a whisper-quiet 29 dB fan, the PT-VZ580U won’t interrupt your backswing. Practice in peace.
Stress-Free Installation and Flexible Setup
Lens Shift & Keystone Correction
The 1.6x zoom lens and +/- 40% vertical lens shift give you a wide range of installation options. Add in horizontal, vertical, and corner keystone correction, and you’ve got image flexibility from virtually any mounting point.
Daylight View Basic
Panasonic’s proprietary tech fine-tunes color and brightness based on ambient light, making darker image areas easier to see—even under bright lights.
Low Maintenance, Long Play
