Overview
Optoma pairs a laser light engine with a native Ultra HD DLP chip in this home theater projector. Filmmaker Mode shows films in their original color and frame rate, while motion smoothing helps fast sports.
Laser life and high brightness let it run for years in a room with some ambient light. It has no built-in streaming apps listed, so a media player is needed.
Who it's for
Movie fans and gamers with a dedicated room or living room screen who connect players and consoles by HDMI. Buyers who want a self-contained smart projector should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Native 4K resolution
- Bright laser light
- No lamp replacements
- Wide image size range
- No streaming apps listed
- Heavy for a portable setup
Performance notes
The laser source is rated for tens of thousands of hours, so there are no lamp swaps. High brightness gives HDR highlights punch, while the motion engine smooths fast pans for sports.
