Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

This projector was easy to install and the setup was OK, however I had issues when using HDMI 2.0 and trying to watch 4K. Sometimes I could watch fine, sometimes at random loosing signal and re-syncing every 1-2 min, which was annoying. Tried different cables and same problem. On HDMI 1.4 I had no problem so I assumed it was something wrong with the port not particularly the cable. I decided to exchange the projector and see If the problem would persist. Exchanging this particular model is not simple because it’s always sold-out. BestBuy doesn’t seem to restock often that model, so I decided to go with UHD30, which is the same but with no vertical lens shift, making it more inflexible for mounting. Regarding picture, uhd50x has a bright picture quality, definitely worth the 4K, not so much the hdr, gaming is nice, didn’t notice lag on normal mode, didn’t like the game mode because the quality of picture is much worse. Optoma should change the cheap looking remote- it’s also so bright I could use it as a flashlight. I will return to review the uhd30 when it arrives, it takes about a week to ship it right now

This projector is my first one and I love it, no lags and absolutely hassle free to operate
