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. One interesting aspect of the new Optoma laser projector is its affordability. The projector has a throw ratio of 1.4:1 and can project images up to 300 inches within the room.
The Optoma UHZ66 projector has a maximum
brightness of 4,000 lumens and a light source that can last for up to 30,000
hours. This means that you can comfortably use the UHZ66 regularly for up to 10
years without any issue with the laser. The projector can display more than 1
billion colors. 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.
The UHZ66 has a 500,000:1 contrast ratio
and the projector supports dynamic range images. There are two HDMI ports on
the UHZ66, one of which supports eARC for connection to a soundbar or AVR. Any
projector that can be used for gaming must have a pretty lag-less performance
and the Optoma UHZ66 is not lacking in this direction. It has a response time
of 4.4ms with 1080p/ 240Hz input and 17ms with 4K/ 60Hz input.
Optoma says that the UHZ66 is produced
with eco-friendly materials. About 50% of the projector’s chassis is made from
post-consumer recycled materials. About 97% of the packaging materials of the
UHZ66 are made from recyclable materials. The projector is compact and about
34% smaller than its predecessor and its chassis is completely mercury-free.
Optoma also states that the projector consumes 45% less energy than regular
lamp-based projectors.
The Optoma UHZ66 is available in the US
and the UK and is priced at US$ 2,999 and £ 1,799 respectively. The gadget is
available from several retailers in the US and UK. There are no global
availability and pricing details for the Optoma UHZ66 laser projector at this
time.
