Stunning picture quality with Full HD 1080p resolution
Native 1080p (1920x1080) resolution is perfect for the sharpest and clearest picture available. It delivers exceptional details and outstanding color saturation for incredible pixel-by-pixel performance and superior image quality.
The PJD7820HD features 1920x1080 native resolution for a total of 2,073,600 pixels. That is 4.3x more pixels than SVGA, 2.6x more than XGA or 2.0x more than WXGA. Whether it’s a multimedia presentation, graphic design, or video production, the PJD7820HD can demonstrate crisp details and enhance presentation quality without distortion or scaling of the original format.
DLP Technology
Advanced DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology allows you to experience crystal clear, razor-sharp and lifelike images with the same DLP technology used in Hollywood. For fast action, the response time is 1,000 times faster than similar LCD-based projectors. And with no air filters to clean or change, the latest generation of DLP-based projectors from ViewSonic is among the lowest TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) in the industry.
BrilliantColor Technology
The ViewSonic PJD7820HD projector with BrilliantColor technology features multi-color processing to produce stunning, vibrant colors. Unlike other technologies that use just 3 primary colors to produce the image (such as LCD), the PJD7820HD uses up to 6 separate colors. The sophisticated 6-segment color wheel enhances the yellow color performance that is key to accurate and vivid color reproduction. With multi-color processing, colors are richer and more vibrant with exquisite and precise detail.
HDMI with 3D Blu-ray ready
With the latest HDMI, the ViewSonic PJD7820HD projector can now display 3D directly from 3D Blu-ray players. The PJD7820HD is designed to provide an amazing 3D visual experience for classroom, office, and even home environments.
DynamicEco technology for total control of audience's focus
With the DynamicEco button on the remote, take command of presentations by dimming the screen brightness by 70%. This feature allows presenters to easily shift the audience's focus when the projector is not in use. When idle, the projector will auto-activate DynamicEco as well. When DynamicEco is activated, the lamp's power consumption is significantly reduced – a great energy-saving design for low total cost of ownership (TCO).
Virtually maintenance free with filter-less design
The ViewSonic PJD7820HD projector features a filter-less design. Unlike LCD projectors that require users to clean, or sometimes replace, filters every 100 to 300 hours of operation, the ViewSonic PJD7820HD projector’s filter-less design eliminates filter cleaning or filter replacement. This provides virtually zero maintenance, saves you significant dollars and labor over the projector’s lifespan, and lowers your total cost of ownership (TCO).
Long-lasting reliable picture quality & superior color performance
ViewSonic DLP projectors provide reliable picture quality you can trust and superior color performance you can count on, after thousands of hours of usage. Built on DLP technology, ViewSonic’s PJD7820HD projector virtually eliminates image degradation known as color decay – a yellow/faded tint that LCD projectors may develop after extended use. Even after years of use, the PJD7820HD will continue to produce a stunning, sharp image that lasts.

The new advanced lamp technology from ViewSonic extends the lamp life up to 6,000 hours and saves you on replacement lamp costs.
Environmentally friendly Eco-mode saves money and power
With only a slight 20% decrease in brightness, the Eco-mode function can extend the life of your lamp by almost 50% and up to 6,000 hours in some cases. Other benefits of Eco-mode operation include reduced power consumption, as well as less heat and audible noise output. It´s good for the environment and great for your budget. The Eco-mode function will definitely help lower your total cost of ownership (TCO).
