Convinced that the price of entry into 4K projection is too high, Optoma has opted to break down price barriers with 4K DLP projectors that sell for $1,999 and $2,499.

In addition to supporting HDR10 high dynamic range and wide color gamut (Rec.2020 and DCI-P3), the new UHD60 and UHD65 projectors are equipped with vertical lens shift to simplify installation, a 1.6X zoom to enable 4K images up to 140 inches (diagonal), ISF modes for saving calibrated Day and Night settings, and HDMI 1.4a and HDMI 2.0 ports, the latter with HDCP 2.2 support.

Sold at retail through Amazon, Best Buy, and Beach Camera, the UHD60 has a rated brightness of 3,000 lumens and rated contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1 with the projector’s Dynamic Black mode enabled.

The UHD65, aimed at the custom installation channel and sold through distributors such as ProjectorPeople.com and Visual Apex, features PureMotion video processing technology to “eliminate motion blurring and image judder” and has a rated brightness of 2,200 lumens and rated contrast ratio of 1,200,000:1 with Dynamic Black enabled.

“We are making 4K home theater projection a mainstream technology for the first time, allowing consumers to enjoy projectors that will rival any home entertainment or even cinema experience,” said Brian Soto, Optoma’s head of product management.
