Christie LHD878-DS Laser Projector Review - Performance

Brightness at mid-zoom

Christie LHD878 Brightness (Dynamic mode, Normal Light Output): 7710 Lumens

At wide zoom, Dynamic mode.

The LHD878 measured 7710 lumens which is very close to Christie’s brightness claim. For the rest of the modes, I measured them at mid-zoom, so the iris is closed halfway. This is because it is more common for a projector to be zoomed in a bit rather than installed at full wide angle.

The LHD878-DS was a little louder than a typical home theater projector which is too be expect considering it is an 8,000 lumen business projector. Even in my small room, no one had to shout, or even significantly raise their voice to talk over it.

Christie quotes the LHD878’s noise level at 41db at full power and 32db in ECO mode. Relative to the amount of brightness the LHD878 can output, it is quiet projector. In most classroom and conference room applications, the projector is quite enough not to be distracting.
