Compact Form-Factor Streamlines Workflow
PT-RQ25K Series is 40 % smaller and 35 % lighter6 than our 20,000-lm PT-RQ22K with a body size similar to our 10,000-lm 1-Chip DLP™ projectors. Intel® SDM-ready slot integrates your preferred terminals with optional proprietary or third-party7 interface boards. Smart Projector Control8 app with NFC function9, Remote Preview Lite10, and preactivated upgrade kits for Geo Pro11 simplify installation.
Create an Engaging Visual Experience
Quad Pixel Drive, our original 2-axis pixel-quadrupling technology, creates smooth 4K2 images with vivid 3-Chip DLP™ color and high brightness. A new Dynamic Contrast setting delivers higher white brightness and deeper blacks during high-contrast scenes. Gradation Smoother12 reduces color-banding via remote control, while improved point-based black-level adjustment supports edge-blending over curved screens with pixel-level precision.
Reliable and Maintenance-free for Peace of Mind
Hermetically sealed optical block is cooled by a high-effciency liquid-cooling system enabling maintenance-free projection for 20,000 hours13. Multi-Laser Drive Engine prevents brightness loss in the event of diode failure, while Backup Input14 switches to a backup signal if the primary signal is interrupted for peace of mind.

Look forward to PT-RQ25K
1 Please refer to specifications table for brightness value of individual models. Measurement, measuring conditions, and method of notation all comply with ISO/IEC 21118: 2020 international standards. Value is average of all products when shipped. 2 PT-RQ25K/RQ18K only with Quad Pixel Drive [ON]. 3 Average light-output value of all shipped products measured at center of screen in NORMAL Mode. 4 Maximum physical resolution with Quad Pixel Drive [ON]. 5 Excluding lenses for the PT-RQ50K projector. 6 Estimated value by cabinet volume and weight (excluding lens) according to Panasonic research. 7 Intel® SDM-specified third-party interface boards sold separately. Panasonic cannot guarantee operation of third-party devices. 8 Check device compatibility at the App Store or the Google Play store. 9 Projectors sold in some countries or regions require an ET-NUK10 Upgrade Kit available from PASS to activate NFC function. See NFC Regional Compatibility List for details. 10 Requires Multi-Monitoring & Control Software Ver. 3.2 or later. 11 Geometry Manager Pro software for Windows ® and preactivated upgrade kits require projector registration. Visit PASS to register your projector and download free software (ET-UK20/ET-CUK10 upgrade kits included). 12 Projectors ship with Gradation Smoother set at a factory default of [2]. 13 Around this time, light output will have decreased by approximately 50 %. IEC62087: 2008 Broadcast Contents, Normal Mode, Dynamic Contrast [3], temperature 35 °C (95 °F), elevation 700 m (2,297 ft) with 0.15 mg/m3 of airborne particulate matter. Panasonic recommends checkup at point of purchase after about 20,000 hours. Light-source lifetime may be reduced depending on environmental conditions. Replacement of parts other than the light source may be required in a shorter period. Estimated maintenance time varies depending on environment. 14 Input signals to primary and backup inputs must be identical.
