Laser light source

For a more immersive home cinema experience with long-lasting performance, the UHZ50 features Optoma’s 4K UHD Laser technology for sharp images, excellent colour and contrast, low maintenance with instant on/off. Compared to bulb-based projectors, the UHZ50 boasts 6x the lifespan before light source replacement and is completely free of mercury. Laser technology delivers up to 30,000 hours of light source life that maintains stunning image quality throughout its lifespan.

Optoma laser projectors use high-quality lasers to create the projected image. In many situations, the perceived brightness from laser illumination projectors can be twice that of an equivalent lamp-based model. They also deliver increased efficiency to maintain consistent brightness, superior colour performance, instant on/off and an extraordinary life span of up to 30,000 hours.

The UHZ50 features Optoma’s airtight optical engine with IP6X certification. The airtight enclosure prevents dust particles from entering the unit and ensures long-lasting and reliable performance.

True 4K UHD Resolution

Ultra HD 4K resolution delivers sharper, life-like images and richer colours – delivering more detail in your entertainment and ultimately, a more immersive experience.

What is True 4K UHD? The Consumer Technology Association (CTA)® definition of 4K Ultra HD resolution states the display resolution must have at least 8 million active pixels.

The Optoma UHZ50 DLP projector provides CTA (Consumer Technology Association) approved True 4K UHD resolution, capable of projecting 8.3 million on-screen pixels. That’s four times more detail than Full HD and twice as many from competing technology, which only delivers 4.1 million pixels.

4K Ultra HD with at least 8 million active pixels displayed packs every detail into your movie or gaming experience, just as the director intended.

HDR and HLG compatible

The UHZ50 supports HDR10 and Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) processing. When an HDR / HLG signal is detected, the projector automatically switches to HDR / HLG display mode. Optoma’s HDR colour mapping and tone mapping technology enables HDR / HLG movies or games to be presented at their best in terms of colour accuracy and improved contrast ratio through dynamic contrast.

HDR (High Dynamic Range), is a standard that comes with a higher dynamic range in video signals, allowing the image to be shown with more brightness and colour without losing any details. With this technology onboard, the UHZ50 allows you to see far more detail and texture. Objects look more solid and lifelike and the extra detail creates a greater sense of depth.

The Smart and Simple Way to Watch Movies

With the touch of a button, switch to “Cinema” display mode and watch as colours become true-to-life thanks to the enhanced colour gamut and cinema-tailored gamma curve. Reds will be enhanced to provide more natural skin tones, better colour saturation and an overall more enjoyable viewing experience.

The ISF modes feature allows you to save your calibrated day and night mode settings for the highest possible viewing experience.

Amazing Colour

Watch your movies, TV shows and play games with stunning colours in any environment. Optoma projectors provide reliable performance suitable for any content and environment. Our home projectors are capable of reproducing the Rec.709 colour gamut, the international HDTV standard to guarantee accurate reproduction of cinematic colour exactly as the director intended. Or more saturated colours for a punchy looking image, great for gaming and animated movies.

Optoma’s Color Management System (CMS) allows you to display accurate lifelike colours to best match your viewing environment. This unique feature provides you with the flexibility to fine-tune the colour settings for optimal precision.

Full 3D

The UHZ50 displays true 3D content from various 3D sources, including 3D Blu-ray Disc players, 3D broadcasting and the latest-generation game consoles.

Enhanced Gaming

Enhanced gaming mode optimizes your projector for maximum contrast and vivid colours to capture every detail. It also reduces input lag down to as little as 4.00ms for lightning-fast response times.

Immerse yourself in the improved visuals brought about by technologies such as HDR and ray-tracing. UHZ50 takes gaming to the next level. Experience the full beauty of your games the way the developers intended.

Fast Refresh Rate & PureMotion

Using sophisticated frame-interpolation technology, advanced motion control processing eliminates motion blurring or image judder, even in high-speed action sequences. A high refresh rate of up to 240Hz makes it easier to keep track of the action, giving you a better chance of hitting your target earlier. Ideal for fast-action gaming.

Most movies are shot at 24 frames per second (fps). To preserve the purity of the original image, Optoma projectors can accept high definition sources at 24 fps to display movies exactly as the director intended.

eARC for higher-fidelity movie soundtracks and music
