The UHZ65 4K Ultra High-Definition (HD) projector from Optoma has just been recently unveiled at the Custom Electronic Design and Installation Association (CEDIA) 2017.
An upgrade to the UHD65, the UHZ65 uses laser phosphor light source instead of the traditional projector lamp. This means that picture quality will be better from the previous model or any other projector at that matter. Replacing bulbs will not be frequent as well, because the life expectancy of the laser engine is a marked at 20,000 hours.
4K resolution are at times not distinguishable with TVs that are under 75-inches, and even at this screen size, seeing the difference between 4K and standard HD means moving bit closer to the TV. Due to the fact that it can support image sizes from 26 inches to a whopping 302 inches, the Optoma UHZ65 will create stunning images no matter the size of the space being utilized.
Based on the latest 4K Digital Light Processing (DLP) Ultra High Definition (UHD) chipset from Texas Instruments, the Optoma UHZ65 can display 8.3 million distinct pixels. This is because the unit processes the images with a high performance Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) that uses a fast switching cross-polarization ratio video processor. Thanks to the advanced image processing software of the Optoma UHZ65, a usual chip that covers 4.15 million mirrors can double its efficiency to 8.13.
Users must place the projector between 10 to 16 feet from the screen to get high quality 100-inch images. The new unit can be used in most common wide range indoor temperature with operation parameters marking between 41 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit.
For projector owners, lamp replacement can be tedious and at time annoying, and not to mention, very costly. The laser phosphor light source uses blue laser diodes instead of pure white light. Doing this, the projector will create the traditional colors of the red, green, and blue more vividly.
