It measured within 8% of its 1,600-lumen claim, providing a bright, beautiful image with pleasing color in an attractive, compact design.

On this week’s episode of The Projector Podcast Jeremy Glowacki interviews Brian Nadel about his recent review of the Christie Korus 4K1400-KS. A powerhouse device that can not only fill large screens with 4K imaging but fine-tune its output to suit a variety of uses, Christie’s Korus 4K1400-KS competes with bigger, more expensive designs, making it the value choice for mid-size venues. One of the brightest in its class, the 4K1400-KS’s nearly 15,000 lumens blows away the projector’s 12,000 ANSI lumen spec away, while the eight available lenses—from ultra-short to extremely long throws—allow the Korus projector to fill just about any mid-sized auditorium, lecture hall, or large conference room with light.

After his hands-on testing of the ZUH12000, Brian said he believes that this successor to the brand’s ZUH6000 ultra-show-throw projector might be the most flexible large-venue projector around with three and counting interchangeable lenses, up to 12,000 lumens of brightness and the one-two imaging punch of pixel-shifted UHD resolution and the latest High Efficiency Pixel imaging hardware to deliver excellent color balance, brightness, and setup ease.
