At ISE 2026 Panasonic Projector & Display Americas LLC announced an addition to its MEVIX brand of projectors, the PT-HTQ20. The new model represents the next generation of Panasonic’s core technology, and is geared towards entertainment venues, sports simulation, and the public sector.

As immersive entertainment venues, such as digital museum displays to interactive attractions become more popular, operators require visual quality and true color reproduction. Designed to address this need, the new MEVIX PT-HTQ20, 1-Chip DLP™ RGB laser projector is Panasonic’s first projector to support the Rec. 2020 color gamut by utilizing its newly developed VIVID PRIME™ RGB (RGB-plus-phosphor) laser light-source technology, which achieves over 95% Rec. 2020 coverage.

The PT-HTQ20 will offer up to 20,000-lm brightness and 4K output. It also incorporates an enhanced Gradation Smoother to reduce banding and has the built-in ability to minimize rainbow effect for a more comfortable viewing experience. The projector delivers smooth 4K visuals with Quad Pixel Drive technology and supports high frame-rate of 2K/240 Hz playback.

Supporting workflow flexibility, seamless installation, and reliability, the PT-HTQ20 shares many features of Panasonic’s MEVIX 3-Chip DLP™ lineup1 including lens and mount compatibility, dust/humidity-resistant board coating, mechanical shutter, Intel® SDM expansion, remote control/monitoring software, a filterless design rated for 20,000 hours of maintenance-free operation, and redundancy features such as Multi-Laser Drive Engine failover and Backup Input.

Compatible with a variety of Panasonic lenses, the MEVIX PT-HTQ20 can offer images of up to 1,000-inches diagonal and has horizontal and vertical lens shift capabilities. It can be ceiling or floor mounted and has front or rear projection options and 360-degree installation features.

The MEVIX PT-HTQ20 will begin shipping in the fourth quarter of 2026.
