Product Description
The Panasonic PT-TW231RU is a short throw LCD projector designed for classrooms, training rooms, meeting spaces, and professional presentation environments. Delivering up to 2,500 lumens of brightness and supporting resolutions from 640 x 480 up to 1920 x 1200, it provides flexible widescreen projection for presentations, educational content, and multimedia playback.
Its 0.5:1 short throw ratio allows the projector to create images from 60 to 110 inches while requiring less distance from the screen than a standard throw projector. This makes the PT-TW231RU a practical choice for smaller rooms, classroom installations, and presentation spaces where projector placement is limited.
