- Triple laser RGB with 5,000 nits of brightness
- Screen sizes from 80 to 300 inches
- No official price, but on sale for £5,499 (around $7,396 / AU$10,480)
Optoma has launched a new flagship 4K projector, the UHZ78LV. This is the successor to last year’s UHZ68LV and upgrades the projector from a dual-laser RGB system to a triple-laser RGB system.
Designed for displays from 80 to 300 inches, the UHZ78LV features a maximum brightness of 5,000 lumens and supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and IMAX Enhanced.
The triple-laser system is even more precise than its dual-laser predecessor, with 98% DCI-P3 color coverage compared to the previous model’s 90%. This is what I call a home theater upgrade.
Optoma UHZ78LV: main features and prices
The projector features Optoma’s PureEngine Ultra image processing system, which offers a filmmaker mode and ISF calibration options for moviegoers who want to see films the way the director and cinematographer intended.
It should be good for gaming too, with HDMI 2.1 and input lag as low as 8.5ms at 1080p/240Hz resolution.
In addition to DCI-P3 coverage, BT.2020 color accuracy reaches 96% and dynamic contrast offers a ratio of up to 4,500,000:1.
The HDMI supports eARC and Dolby Atmos passthrough for connecting to AV receivers and external audio systems, and there’s 1.6x power zoom, lens shift, and 360-degree projection for flexible installation. The laser has a lifespan of 30,000 hours.
Optoma hasn’t given us any pricing details yet, but the projector is on sale in Europe via Projection Center for a list price of £5,499 (around $7,396 / AU$10,480).
