Christie DWU23A-HS 23,650 lumen, WUXGA, 1DLP laser projector, BoldColor+ technology (Black) TAA- 171-055101-01

Product Overview

The Christie DWU23A-HS is a 23,650-lumen WUXGA 1DLP laser projector with the best lumen-to-weight ratio in its class — under 92 lb (41.6 kg) — making it a practical alternative to similarly bright 3DLP systems. With Christie BoldColor+ technology for deeper blacks and more natural color, built-in Christie Twist warping and blending, and TAA compliance, this large-venue laser projector serves auditoriums, live events, and staging rigs that demand maximum brightness from a compact chassis.

Product Description

The DWU23A-HS (P/N 171-055101-01, black) pairs a long-life laser phosphor light source with a WUXGA (1920 x 1200) 1DLP engine. BoldColor+ enhances color performance with deeper blacks and realistic visuals, while built-in Christie Twist sets up irregular screens and multi-projector displays quickly; optional Christie Mystique camera-based alignment automates staging, calibration, and recalibration in minutes. It supports active and passive polarized 3D out of the box, operates in any orientation for unlimited installation flexibility, runs as low as 35 dBA, and offers an Eco Mode that halves brightness to extend life and reduce noise. AMX and Crestron connectivity integrates it into existing control systems, a DICOM simulation mode supports medical training imagery, and Christie backs it with a 5-year warranty.
