The Vivitek DU775Z-UST is a seriously capable ultra-short throw projector. It projects a vibrant 4K UHD image with a 0.25:1 throw, letting you project a 100” image from 55cm away, powered by Vivitek’s Tele-centric lens system for a low defocus range and distortion, ensuring maximum image quality. Add an optional IR pen and finger touch support, and this is a top choice for classrooms and boardrooms.
Introduction
Laser projectors are a dime a dozen, but at the premium end of the market, you can unlock image quality that rivals digital displays. The Vivitek DU775Z-UST is a prime example, delivering one of the best images in 2023.
What do you get for your money? 4K-UHD resolution and a maximum 150” projection size without image distortion. This alone should sell the product to quality-seekers, but the Vivitek DU775Z-UST is more than just a pretty image.
It is also fully connected with Power USB-A for signage players and wireless collaboration devices. It supports network control/Vivitek PJ-Control for easy communications and remote control over an IT network and has optional interactivity.
Image and sound
The image offers a 4K-UHD (3840 x 2160) @60Hz maximum resolution, a WUXGA (1920×1200) native resolution, a 3,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and 5000 ANSI Lumens, with a laser light source and advanced lens system.
Bright, crisp, and packed with contrast, the Vivitek DU775Z-UST offers fantastic image quality with no distortion when scaled or zoomed, with the new Tele-centric lens achieving a very low defocus range and flare value.
It’s perfect for projecting videos and static images at large sizes with minimal space, with the 0.25:1 throw coming in handy.
You also get two 10w speakers, which are helpful for notifications and mono sounds but incapable of filling a room. For this, use speakers.
Interactivity and connectivity
You can add interactivity with an optional IR Pen and Finger Touch, turning the projector into an interactive, projected display.
Classrooms, boardrooms, and sports halls will enjoy these features most, which give content a new dimension, especially demos and tutorials.
You also get a full complement of ports, including VGA-In 15pin D-Sub x1, HDMI-In x2, HDMI-Out x1, Audio-In RCA, Audio-In Mini-Jack, VGA-Out 15pin D-Sub, Audio-Out Mini-Jack, RJ45, RS-232, 3D-Sync, USB A 5V/2A (Power Only), USB B (Service).
Size and build
At 80 x 405 x 150 mm, the Vivitek DU775Z-UST is decidedly miniature, taking up no more space than most TV boxes. Paired with its ultra-short throw, this helps it fit into any space, with rubberised feet ensuring it stays in place.
The casing is made from plastic with tight joints and no creaking when handled, giving it a rock-solid feel to back up the relatively hefty 8.9 kg weight. It’s a little heavier than standard, but this is a sign of the high-quality lens.
Summing up
The Vivitek DU775Z-UST is a top-of-the-range laser projector that produces stunning 4K UHD images. Whether you need to fill a boardroom or a classroom, this projector will deliver excellent results. A wealth of connectivity options complement the visuals, and optional interactivity opens the door for interactive presentations. It is pricey, but for image quality, you will struggle to find better.
