Christie Digital's New Sapphire 4K Projector Delivers Insane Brightness with RGBH Technology

(February 22, 2025) Christie Digital has launched another beast of a projector: the Sapphire 4K40-RGBH. This state-of-the-art model combines solid-state RGB pure laser illumination and a dual laser phosphor system to create the world’s first high-brightness hybrid RGB laser engine. With hybrid illumination, users have a projector for 2D applications, front or rear projection scenarios, active and passive 3D formats, and any screen type.

We talked with Christie's Joel St-Denis to give you a first look at this powerhouse Hi-Res light cannon. Join us for a full breakdown of Sapphire, in addition to a discussion of Christie's other latest addition, the all-new Jazz Series of projectors!

Thanks for this, Todd! Were you able to interview the Digital Projection brand guys? I'm really fascinated with this company. I've run into a few owners of that brand over the past year. Cheers.

I did... they launched an RGB laser projector. That will post soon!

oh wow, I'm eager to see it! I just learned about this company two years ago. I'm curious if these units would be a better option than an NZ900 for a 150ish screen for around the same price. I don't think any comparison reviews with this brand are even out there. Cheers!

The NZ900 is a really capable projector… honestly, I’m not sure how the two would stack up side-by-side in a shootout!
