Optoma UHD65 review

Two technologies have become vital for getting the most out of the latest movies and TV shows – 4K resolution, and High Dynamic Range (HDR).

But while there’s an increasing number of 4K HDR Blu-rays on the market, and similar content is widely available via streaming, getting compatible projectors – without venturing in to ‘money-no-object’ territory – is a wee bit more challenging.

Optoma’s latest projector, the UHD65, is up for that challenge. Even more impressively, it manages to pull it off – and in some style.

Features

Giving the UHD65 its 4K capability is one of Texas Instruments’ DLP chips with XPR technology. This chip isn’t native 4K, but rather has a resolution of 4.15m pixels – half that of Ultra HD.

However, through a form of pixel shifting, which rapidly fires two lower-resolution images at the screen, it produces a 4K image – or at least a picture manufacturers can claim to be 4K.

Alongside that, the projector can handle HDR, providing you with more subtlety in colours gradients than ‘normal’ Blu-rays.
