- Triple laser RGB with 5000 nits of brightness

- There’s no official price, but it’s on sale for £5,499 (around $7,396 / AU$10,480)
Optoma has launched a new flagship 4K projector, the UHZ78LV. It’s the successor to last year’s UHZ68LV and upgrades the projector from a dual-laser RGB system to a triple-laser one.
Designed for 80- to 300-inch displays, 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 precise than its dual-laser predecessor, with 98% DCI-P3 color coverage compared to 90% on the previous model. That’s 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 options for cinephiles who want to see movies the way the director and cinematographer intended them.
It should be good for gaming too, with HDMI 2.1 and an input lag of just 8.5ms at 1080p/240Hz resolution.
In addition to DCI-P3 coverage, there is up to 96% BT.2020 color accuracy and dynamic contrast ratio up to 4,500,000:1.
The HDMI has eARC support and Dolby Atmos pass-through for connection to AV receivers and external sound systems, and there’s 1.6x motorized zoom, lens shift, and 360-degree projection for flexible installation. The laser has a nominal life of 30,000 hours.
Optoma hasn’t given us pricing details yet, but the projector is on sale in Europe through Projection Center with a list price of £5,499 (around $7,396 / AU$10,480).
