The latest Optoma projector is the UHZ66, and it comes with an ultra-bright display and 4K capability. The Optoma UHZ66 is a laser projector that can be deployed for home entertainment or even used as a gaming projector. The UHZ66 ticks all the key laser projector boxes. It claims a huge peak brightness of 4,000 lumens, it claims an effective lifespan with no need for pesky lamp changes of more than 30,000 hours (enough for around 15,000 movies), and it claims to be capable of displaying more than a billion colours. The new Optoma projector is offering users a feel of the laser advantage in their living rooms. It can also be used for gaming applications and offers 4K resolution based on the DLP re-flashing mechanism deployed on the gadget. The impressive DLP technology has already gotten plaudits in the US from the Consumer Technology Association Foundation.
Home cinema fans will also be pleased to see the UHZ66 claiming a high contrast ratio of 500,000:1 alongside its 4,000 lumens of peak brightness. After all, while high brightness can be a hugely useful feature for a living room projector especially a living room projector which, like the UHZ66, supports high dynamic range images. It has a response time of 4.4ms with 1080p/ 240Hz input and 17ms with 4K/ 60Hz input. The UHZ66 carries two HDMI 2.0 inputs one with eARC support for passing audio out to a connected soundbar or AVR.
