Vivitek DH856 – 1080p 4,800 Lumen Full HD Corporate DLP Projector

Product Overview

The Vivitek DH856 is a native 1080p DLP projector delivering 4,800 ANSI lumens and a 15,000:1 contrast ratio in a compact, portable chassis weighing 3.4 kg. Designed for corporate presentation and education deployments, the DH856 combines a 1.5x optical zoom, four-corner geometric correction, and full HD 3D support with Crestron-certified network control. Its 1.39–2.09:1 throw ratio and flexible zoom make it suitable for a range of conference room and training room configurations without repositioning.

Product Description

The DH856 uses a single 0.65-inch DLP chip with BrilliantColor and viviBlack technology to produce bright, accurate images in 16:9 widescreen format. At 4,800 lumens, the projector handles well-lit conference rooms and training spaces without requiring ambient light control. The 15,000:1 contrast ratio and viviBlack enhancement produce defined shadow detail and good on-screen text legibility for presentation graphics and documents.

Connectivity covers two HDMI 1.4b inputs, dual VGA inputs, composite video, S-Video, and a VGA output for external monitor feed-through. A USB-A port (5V/1.5A power output) supports connection of HDMI-based wireless collaboration devices such as the Vivitek NovoConnect NC-X300, enabling wireless presentation without a separate power supply. RJ-45 LAN with Crestron RoomView, AMX SSDP, and Extron support provides certified network integration for managed AV environments. The 12V trigger output enables automated screen control. Lamp life reaches 4,000 hours in Eco Mode, with up to 5,000 hours in Dynamic Eco, reducing replacement frequency in moderate-use deployments. At 3.4 kg, the DH856 is portable enough to move between meeting rooms or travel for on-site presentations.
