Optoma Presents the Ultimate 4K UHD Home Cinema Projectors

Optoma releases the UHD65 and UHD60, these are price competitive Ultra HD 4K resolution projectors that bring content to life with details, color, and contrast for a stunningly immersive experience.

With full 8.3 million on-screen pixels, Optoma UHD65 meets the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) requirements for 4K UHD and comply with the CTA High Dynamic Range (HDR) compatible display standards. This guarantees razor sharp, vivid images capable of showing more details than standard HD – replicating the unforgettable experience of attending a digital cinema.

Gordon Wu, Assistant Vice President at Optoma APAC, said: “We are incredibly excited to launch our much anticipated first 4K UHD HDR compatible home cinema projectors, the UHD65 and UHD60. The advanced DLP single-chip design from Texas Instruments ensures absolute image integrity, delivering over 8 million pixels to screen. Without doubt the 4K UHD experience requires the biggest of images, which these two new projectors deliver at an affordable price to home users.”

Capitalising on the fast switching speed of the DLP chip with XPR technology and advanced image processing, Optoma UHD65 and UHD60 deliver 8.3 million pixels to the screen without alignment issues, especially critical at 4K, with four times as many pixels as 1080p. This brings ultimate clarity to home users.

For a truly future-proofed home cinema projector, both UHD65 and UHD60 fully support HDCP 2.2, the latest evolution of copy protection, so that users can enjoy the fast-growing choice of 4K content.

Equipped with Optoma’s Amazing Color technology, which includes an enhanced color wheel and multiple modes and settings to choose from, Optoma UHD65 and UHD60 offer users the freedom to select the best setting for the content. Each mode has been fine-tuned by Optoma’s expert color team to ensure superior color performance. Reference mode reproduces accurate Rec.709 HDTV broadcast spec colors – ensuring reproduction of cinematic color - exactly as the director intended.

The UHD65 also boasts sophisticated PureMotion frame-interpolation technology. This advanced processing eliminates motion blur or image judder, even in high-speed action films or fast-paced sports. An RGBRGB color wheel provides accurate, true-to-life color - perfect for high-definition color reproduction. With its sleek black casing and 2,200 lumens, the UHD65 produces outstanding images for those looking for a dedicated home cinema projector.

At 3,000 lumens, the UHD60 produces bright images for life-like big-screen entertainment even with the lights on. Its gloss-white finish makes for discrete integration into any living space.

Packed with the latest features, Optoma UHD60 and UHD65 are whisper quiet and come complete with integrated speakers that provide powerful 8W audio, with exceptional sound quality. S/PDIF audio output is also included, enabling connection to external sound systems.

Set-up is simple with vertical lens shift and a host of connection options such as two HDMI ports and Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL) for compatible phones and tablets. In addition, the UHD60 and UHD65 can even be turned into smart projectors by connecting a HDMI dongle like the Google Chromecast™ or Amazon Fire TV to access popular media services and stream TV shows, films and video clips, play games and share photos on the big screen.

A full specification sheet for the UHD65 and UHD60 together with information on the full product range, brochures and images of the projectors are available from asia.optoma.com

A really impressive piece of kit for the money!!

I was not expecting a 4K projector for such a good price for another few years, though was starting to feel unhappy with the overly big tech lag/high projector prices that just seemed unnecessary at any reasonable piece point.

Very tempting to sell my Sony VPL-HW55ES and upgrade to one of these...

but I'm not sure I can personally go back to a DLP based projector and deal with the rainbow effect. I used to have a BenQ w1110 DLP projector which was actually very good as they go in this regard (also has a very low input lag btw, less than 10ms), though most people don't notice the rainbow effect on this model it was still distracting for a few people in my household.

"SXRD (Silicon X-tal Reflective Display) is Sony's LCOS video projection technology. LCOS, or Liquid Crystal on Silicon is like a hybrid of DLP and LCD technologies. A layer of liquid crystal sits on top of a reflective surface. The light created by the lamp reflects off this surface, or not if the liquid crystal twists to block it."
(hometheaterreview.com)

This tech is reserved for more expensive projectors (mid range I guess at this point) and does not suffer from the rainbow effect + the border between pixel is much smaller than DLP making the image appear of a much higher resolution for many media types.


Well still tempting as affordable 4K finally is, there is no point in it until I upgrade my media PC's GFx to something with HDMI 2 outputs. Hurry up Vega !

Woah, nice prices indeed!
I guess they will translate (I hope) to around the same Euro prices too.

I almost paid this much for my (still in use Kappa) Panasonic PT-AX200E (720p :banana: lol) a couple years back.

I'd probably upgrade when these come down in price a just little bit, hmmmmm very tempting :nerd:

I too think those are pretty good prices. I've always had an interest in projectors because it's easy to do seamless multi-monitor setups. This is great if you want to do something like an ultra-wide half-pipe display. I never got into it because I either never had the space or the money, one or the other. Now, I do have the money (but still not the space) but with VR headsets costing less, the idea doesn't seem quite as attractive to me.

Those 2x4W internal speakers should satisfy any home theater enthusiast. It's great to see they went so far instead of having just 2x3W, which would be just a joke.

After looking at the specs I would like one myself, This is good news as 4k projectors are falling in price nice, The cheaper projector has greater brightness which is good output at 3000 lumens, Better start saving for one.
