- Triple-laser RGB with 5,000 nits brightness
- Screen sizes from 80 to 300 inches
- No official price, but on sale for £5,499 (approx $7,396 / AU$10,480)
Optoma has launched a new flagship 4K projector, the UHZ78LV. It is the successor to last year’s UHZ68LV and upgrades the projector from a dual laser to a triple laser RGB system.
Designed for screens from 80 to 300 inches, the UHZ78LV comes with 5,000 lumens of maximum brightness and supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and IMAX Enhanced.
The triple laser system is even more accurate than its dual laser predecessor with DCI-P3 color coverage of 98% compared to 90% of the previous model. This is what I call a home theater upgrade.
Optoma UHZ78LV: key features and prices
The projector features Optoma’s PureEngine Ultra image processing system, which offers a filmmaker mode and ISF calibration capabilities for filmmakers who want to see movies as the director and cinematographer intended.
It should also be good for gaming with HDMI 2.1 and input lag as low as 8.5ms at 1080p/240Hz resolution.
In addition to DCI-P3 coverage, there is up to 96% BT.2020 color accuracy, and dynamic contrast delivers a ratio of up to 4,500,000:1.
HDMI has eARC support and Dolby Atmos passthrough for connecting to external AV receivers and sound systems, and there’s a motorized 1.6x zoom, lens shift and 360-degree projection for flexible installation. The laser is rated for a lifetime of 30,000 hours.
Optoma has yet to give us pricing information, but the projector is on sale in Europe via Projection Center with a list price of £5,499 (approx. $7,396 / AU$10,480).
