I purchased this projector to replace my Sony vpl-hw30es that i've had for years. The first thing i noticed after taking it out of the box is how light it is. It feels like there's nothing inside. The next thing i noticed was how thin & cheap feeling the plastic is.

i wanted to buy a sony as i had an old 55es which what hifi rated 5 stars it was magnificent but i wanted a 4k one sony was to expensive so i decided to buy the optoma and i am very pleased wih it its got wonderful picture quality the 4k is great HDR is ok not briiiiant but passable the worst thing...

Image quality is fabulous, even from Blu-ray source. Very deep blacks and natural skin tones. This projector handles motion extremely well and it's quiet too. Does seem to need to be hung upside down if you're not projecting straight ahead.

Incredible image quality! Great service from Consignia.ca Fast shipping. Overall great experience!

It took a bit of tweaking to get it set up (mostly user error), however, once we got it the picture has been great. So much detail. Much improved over our older Epson. Make sure you've got the right mount and screws to go along with it as we had to order new ones.

Developed a hot pixel in the middle right. Contacted Optoma but warranty requires shipment back - which from Canada runs about $70 for such a heavy item, the packaging requirements, and tracking.

There's no question that 4K is quickly becoming the standard resolution for entertainment and gaming. With more streaming content and gaming available in 4K UHD and 4K televisions coming down in price, more homes are adopting the technology.

Crisp; vibrant picture; Smooth playback for movies and gaming; Quiet fan operation; Reasonably priced; HDR support

Odd occasional source issue; Not widely available for purchase

2017 is the year that DLP front-projection fans got in on the 4K action. I recently reviewed the $8,999 BenQ HT8050 , the first DLP projector on the market to use Texas Instruments' 4K DLP chip.

The Optoma UHD65 is the first single-chip 4K DLP projector unequivocally aimed at the home cinema enthusiast. Sporting an all-black chassis, with stylish metallic accent, it's designed to vanish in a dark cinema room. It's also compact enough to either ceiling mount or pop into a shelving system.

Highly cinematic 4K images; Relatively quiet; Rich; vibrant colour performance

Limited contrast; Limited motion resolution may disappoint sports fans; HDR performance not entirely convincing

The Optoma has a very classic projector design with the lens centrally mounted with a black rectangular plastic body.

Full 4K UHD HDR compatibility; Faux 4K performance is very good; Excellent sharpness thanks to single chip; Accurate colours to Rec.709; Full...

Poor black levels and shadow detail performance in bat cave conditions; No wide colour; Can look expensive compared to competition; No motorised lens...
