- Key Specs
- Product Weight: 8.6 pounds (The out of box weight of the item.)
- Light Source: Lamp
- Resolution: 4K (2160p) (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to capture video/images. The higher the resolution the finer the detail that can be seen.)
- White Brightness (ISO): 3400 lumens (Measurement of the device's white light output measured in accordance with standards established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The more lumens, the brighter the output. In large and/or well-lit environments, such as auditoriums or rooms with plenty of natural light, a higher brightness improves the quality of the projected image.)
- Contrast Ratio: 500000:1 (Measured difference between a displayed image's brightest whites and darkest blacks. The larger the first number, the more detail and color that can be displayed.)
- Projector Use: Home Theater, Gaming
- Projector Throw Type: Standard Throw (The distance from the screen that the projector can be placed to project images. Standard throw projectors typically need to be at least 6 feet away while short throw and ultra short throw projectors can be placed closer to the screen for use in smaller rooms.)
- Portability: Fixed (Fixed projectors are ideal when creating an authentic theater atmosphere in your home. Often designed to stay in one place they may require significant recalibration if moved. Portable projectors, weighing around 5 pounds, are easy to move, but will still require set-up calibration and often have technology to reduce the complexity. Ultra-portable projectors are very light, often battery-powered, and ideal for on-the-go use.)

- Resolution (Native): 3840 x 2160 (4K) (Native resolution of a screen refers to its single, fixed resolution. Sometimes screens must scale an image up or down in order to fit the native resolution. This can cause a loss of resolution or detail.)
- White Brightness (ISO): 3400 lumens (Measurement of the device's white light output measured in accordance with standards established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The more lumens, the brighter the output. In large and/or well-lit environments, such as auditoriums or rooms with plenty of natural light, a higher brightness improves the quality of the projected image.)

- Minimum Aperture: f/1.94 (The smallest opening of a lens, typically expressed in f-numbers. The larger the number, the smaller the aperture and the less light that can enter the lens. A smaller aperture creates a larger depth of field, which keeps both foreground and background in focus.)
- Maximum Aperture: f/2.23 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)

- Rated 3 out of 5 stars
A little overpriced.
This unit is a nice video game projector with tons of features.... That don't work. It's HDR but only the bare minimum. My Xbox one x is set at 2% on the HDR setting, any more washes the screen out. Getting a good picture is a chore. The brightness has to be low and the contrast very high. But when you dial it in games look great. Movies on the other hand don't look as good, especially dark scenes. It's game mode looks terrible and using it locks out all the settings. Even things like keystone adjustment. But I didn't notice any extra lag in normal modes so I just don't use it. The 2.0 HDMI is super annoying in that it constantly searches for signal. There is a signal lock in the settings but it won't let you change it. Also anything less than 4k content on the 2.0 HDMI looks really bad. I assume this is because of it using the better 4 mirror matrix (8.3 million pixels) and not the 2 chip pixel shifting. The 1080 HDMI works fine but it's a 4k projector so I want to use it as such. The 3d works fine but if you don't need that you can get the UHD30 for cheaper. I have this unit in a pitch black theater and it needs it. Any light at all really hurts the image. All in all it does its job but it's low latency game mode is useless and that was it's biggest feature. I would recommend spending a little more for something great or a little less for something just as good.

Reviewed with a heavy heart...
I wanted to like this projector. I still want to like this projector. But since it arrived it only projected dissapointment vs cinematic grandeur. I currently have a basic Epson 2030 1080p projector. Nothing fancy. To me it looks pretty good and the whole family enjoys it. That is my reference point so you know the bar is not that high. This projector, on its highest settings was half as bright as the epson. Now keep in mind this thing is rated at 3400lumens whereas the Epson is only 2000. Yes, I know LEDs vs DLPs will behave differently with white light and colors. The rating disparity vs the reality was too much to ignore. I honestly think something was defective with this unit. I hope that was the case. It was much too dim for its ratings. Adjusting brightness, never brightened it, it only washed out colors. Even the "bright" setting had no effect at all. The lens also had a scratch or crack on it. I cant tell, but who wants that. On the plus side, the detail was incredible - when you could discern it. There was no light band around the edges that so many folks complain about. Then again there was not much light anywhere to speak of. Well, except on the cieling. If Optoma could harness all the light that leaks out the side through the fan vents and use that on the screen then they might have a winner. The fan was quieter than my epson on normal mode to normal mode comparison. Didnt even try ECO on the Optoma as I wouldnt have been able to see much at all. At first I thought I was crazy. Maybe it was just me. Then my 9 year old came in, not know anything about a new projector. He took one look and asked "whats wrong with the big TV screen?" I knew then it wasnt me and that I was not paying $1600 for this "upgrade". Checked cables, checked settings, etc. Hooked 4k Roku directly to this projector and matched it to a my old one. Results in pic show UHD50x on left, the Epson in ECO mode on the right. The epson was so much brighter that the photo actually got a little oversaturated. To Optomas credit, they agreed with me that it shouldn't be like this. they offered to look at it and replace it. However, having just bought it, that would have made it ineligible to return, a chance I was not willing to take. They were great, and honestly this review is for them - PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. On AVS Forums there are lots of folks who love their UHD30s and UHD50x and lots who say they are the worst thing ever. I have to hope its just issues with this new model. I may try again soon, but for now, lets hope they take note. Their support is the only reason for 2 stars. Buyers beware - check our your unit as soon as you get it. You may get lucky and get a winner, but dont let you return window expire and be stuck with a dud.

Stunning
I purchased this unit after owning other projectors with 1080P resolution. The Optoma is an absolute winner, currently showing a 120 inch diagonal image in UNBELIEVABLE 4k resolution. Every high-quality video that I have played through this unit is truly breathtaking, and the brightness in a properly darkened room is actually startling when you see it in person. At 6 inches from the screen, individual pixels are impossibly small and perfectly clear. Completely worth the price of admission. Shown next to a 50 inch LCD in attached photo for size comparison.
