The Panasonic PT-EW650EJ projector is a bright and widescreen installation projector suitable for large venues. With 5800 lumens of brightness this projector serves up brilliant punchy images even with the lights on and blinds open. You will be able to project clear and bright images to a large audience in a large venue, for example a church, theatre, auditorium, etc. The widescreen resolution will give you a sharp image and is suitable for PowerPoint presentations, images, videos and movies. You can use the 10W built in speaker for added audio. It features the DICOM Mode which is a medical imaging standard. It reproduces X-ray images with remarkable clarity. You can show your content in high definition by using the HDMI port. There are two ports so you can connect to two devices without swapping your cables around. Panasonic’s Daylight View Basic technology achieves sharp easy-to-see images by clearly reproducing the details in dark image areas which were previously difficult to see in brightly lit rooms. A built-in sensor measures the ambient light and the Daylight View Basic function adjusts the halftone colour and brightness level according to the surrounding illumination. Just take a moment to think if you need the full 5800 lumens, if you go down by 700 lumens, it may not make that much difference to your projection and you can save about £1000! Take a look at the other suitable alternatives below. This projector comes with the standard lens. Check out the PDF to the left for more information.
What Panasonic say about the PT-EW650EJ
High dynamic contrast of 10,000:1 is enabled by an iris mechanism, so that whites are brighter and blacks deeper with minimal loss of detail in dark images. The result is crisp and comfortable viewing. The wide adjustment range of the powered horizontal/vertical lens-shift function assures convenience and versatility during installation. Zoom and focus are also easily adjusted via remote control. A symmetrical lens-centered design reduces installation complexity and makes these projectors easier to adapt to a wider range of installation sites. The optional ET-WML100 wireless USB module enables projection of a variety of media via Windows® PCs, iOS devices, or Android™ devices loaded with an appropriate app. Whether projecting from desk or ceiling, there’s no need for cables—and it’s also possible to display content from more than one device at a time in Multi-Live Mode. If dust gets inside the projector’s optical unit, brightness suffers. The PT-EZ590 Series protects against dust intrusion with a one-way airflow design and improved sealing for the lens block, air intake duct, and Eco Filter. This electrostatic Micro Cut Filter captures the tiniest dust particles and requires no maintenance for 15,000 hours. It also can be washed and reused. These dust-resistant projectors are designed to maintain brightness for longer in high-traffic environments while reducing servicing costs. The quiet design reduces operating noise to just 29 dB, with the sound of the cooling fan hardly noticeable. This helps to keep the audience focused on your presentation. To reduce hassle, the filter can be replaced via the side and the lamp from the top of the projector. There’s no need to remove the unit from its ceiling mount for periodic maintenance.

Dynamic Contrast of 10,000:1 with Iris
High dynamic contrast of 10,000:1 is enabled by an iris mechanism, so that whites are brighter and blacks deeper with minimal loss of detail in dark images. The result is crisp and comfortable viewing.
Daylight View Basic Ensures Vivid Images in Bright Rooms
Panasonic’s original Daylight View Basic uses a built-in sensor to measure ambient light and calibrates image-projection to suit, optimizing brightness and half-tone colour and sharpening details for easy-to-see pictures in well-lit environments.
DICOM Simulation Mode* for Medical Presentations
This imaging mode is similar to the DICOM Part 14 medical imaging standard. It lends a film-like quality to X-ray images, making the PT-EW650 Series suitable for training presentations related to medicine*. (* This product is not a medical instrument. Do not use for actual medical diagnosis.)
Colour Adjustment for Multi-screen Projection
This function corrects subtle variations in the colour reproduction range of individual units set up for multi-screen projection, particularly in side-by-side configuration.
Extended Lamp Replacement Cycle
PT-EW650EJ Series projectors feature a lamp replacement cycle of up to 5,000 hours*. This helps to lower operating costs, reduce labour, and minimize wastage by extending the operation period between lamp maintenance. (* With lamp power set to ECO. Up to 4,000 hours with lamp power set to NORMAL.)
Dust-Resistant Cabinet and Extra-Long-Life Eco Filter
If dust gets inside the projector’s optical unit, brightness suffers. The PT-EW650EJ Series protects against dust intrusion with a one-way airflow design and improved sealing for the lens block, air intake duct, and Eco Filter. This electrostatic Micro Cut Filter captures the tiniest dust particles and can be washed and reused. These dust-resistant projectors are designed to maintain brightness for longer in high-traffic environments while reducing servicing costs.
ECO Management Slashes Power Consumption
A variety of Eco Management functions are accessible via a button on the remote controller. These include brightness optimization for ambient lighting conditions and lamp power reduction when no input signal is detected.
Easy-Access Lamp and Filter
To reduce hassle, the filter can be replaced via the side and the lamp from the top of the projector. There’s no need to remove the unit from its ceiling mount for periodic maintenance.
Powered Lens Shift, Zoom, and Focus via Remote Control
The wide adjustment range of the powered horizontal/vertical lens-shift function assures convenience and versatility during installation. Zoom and focus are also easily adjusted via remote control.
Project onto Curved Surface
Horizontal, Vertical, and Corner Keystone Correction adjusts the image shape for clear visibility when projecting off-axis or from an unusual angle. Curved Screen Correction allows for the projection of natural, distortion-free images onto curved or cylindrical surfaces.
Lens-Centred Design
A symmetrical lens-centred design reduces installation complexity and makes these projectors easier to adapt to a wider range of installation sites.
Project Wirelessly with Optional Module
The optional ET-WML100 wireless USB module enables projection of a variety of media via Windows® PCs, iOS devices, or Android™ devices loaded with an appropriate app. Whether projecting from desk or ceiling, there’s no need for cables—and it’s also possible to display content from more than one device at a time in Multi-Live Mode.
Range of Optional Lenses
Choose from a selection of optional zoom lenses for your system. The additional lenses make it easier to adapt the projector to the installation site. Lenses attach and detach with one-touch ease.
Integrates into Existing AV Infrastructure
With support for PJLink™ Class 1, Crestron Connected, AMX, and RS-232C over wired LAN, any legacy unit can be swapped out for a PT-EW650EJ Series projector without disrupting existing control and management infrastructure. Emulation via RS-232C allows original settings to be preserved. In addition, Multi Monitoring and Control Software is available for monitoring and controlling multiple Panasonic projectors from a single PC.
Mechanical Lens Shutter
A mechanical lens shutter prevents light leakage when the projector is on standby or temporarily not in use, such as periods during meetings.
