High 5,000,000:11 Dynamic Contrast
Input signals are analyzed frame by frame to regulate light output for best contrast performance in every scene. As well as accurately reproducing pictures that contain a mix of dark and bright hues, Dynamic Contrast is more energy efficient than other technologies and can be optimized to suit the content or the room’s lighting. The projector’s high 5,000,000:11 contrast ratio provides better detail definition in shadows with deeper blacks, brighter whites, and more natural skin tones for a better sense of depth and definition.

Optimized Visuals for Bright Spaces
Daylight View Basic uses a sensor to measure ambient light levels in your room and adjusts sharpness, halftone color, contrast, and brightness to optimize image visibility regardless of room illumination. The result is a clearer, more detailed image, even in challenging conditions.
Smooth, Crisp Details at WUXGA
WUXGA (1920 x 1200) LCD panels improve detail definition for a more comfortable and insightful experience. Text edges are smooth, sharp, and easy to read, even for those seated furthest from the screen.
Vivid Green Mode for Lifelike Sports Simulation
The VMZ82 Series introduces a new Vivid Green Mode that enhances green tones for brighter, more natural-looking images—ideal for golf and other sports simulations. By adjusting signal gain and optimizing color balance, this mode delivers deeper greens and brighter midtones for a more vivid and engaging viewing experience.
Supports Widescreen Video Content
Display widescreen content, such as 21:9 video conferencing layouts, at its original aspect ratio. Remote participants’ faces can be aligned at eye level with in-room attendees, improving communication and engagement during meetings or classes.
Note: Resolution may be reduced when projecting widescreen content at its native aspect ratio.
Quiet Operation for Hybrid Lessons and Meetings
The projector’s heat-resistant light source reduces operating noise, enhancing the clarity of conversations during in-person or hybrid lessons and meetings. In Quiet 2 Mode, operating noise is as low as 25 dB1—about as soft as the sound of rustling leaves.
