The brighter of Panasonic's two short-throw 3LCD lasers: WUXGA, 7,000 lumens (ISO 21118 and ANSI), the same 1.2x manual zoom with powered focus (0.797–1.01 throw), lens shift of 50% vertically in one direction and ±20% horizontally, and a laser rated 20,000 hours to half brightness. A 100-inch 16:10 image sits about 5.6 to 7.1 ft from the screen, per Panasonic's throw table. Indoor Golf Outlet sells it in white (PT-VMZ7STU7) or black (PT-VMZ7STBU7) at $6,819, $1,260 more than the PT-VMZ6ST for 800 more lumens. It shows 4K input at 1920 x 1200.
