- Triple-laser RGB with 5,000 nits of brightness
- Screen sizes from 80 to 300 inches
- It'll set you back £5,999 (about $8,085 / AU$11,465)
Optoma has launched a new flagship 4K projector, the UHZ78LV. It sits above the UHZ68LV, which was released last year, and represents an upgrade over that model thanks to its triple-laser RGB system, among other enhancements.
Designed for screens from 80 to 300 inches, the UHZ78LV comes with 5,000 lumens of peak brightness and supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and IMAX Enhanced.
The triple-laser system is even more accurate than the dual-laser UHZ68LZ, with DCI-P3 color coverage of 98% compared to the 90% of the older model. Now, that's what I call a home theater upgrade.
Optoma UHZ78LV: key features and pricing
The projector features Optoma's PureEngine Ultra image processing system, which offers a filmmaker mode and ISF calibration options for cinephiles who want to see movies as 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 the DCI-P3 coverage there's up to 96% BT.2020 color accuracy, and dynamic contrast delivers a ratio of up to 4,500,000:1.
The HDMI has eARC support and Dolby Atmos passthrough for connection 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 30,000 hours of life.
Optoma has confirmed to TechRadar that the projector will have a UK list price of £5,999. We don't have confirmed pricing for the US or Australia, but that works at out about $8,085 / AU$11,465 — and we'll update this article as we get more details.
