Big screen entertainment

Create and view images far larger than any TV with a projector. You can create a massive up to 300” image*. Perfect for recreating the immersive cinema experience in the comfort of your own home.

*Screen size depends on space available (wall size and distance) and ambient lighting conditions.

Lights on viewing

This all-round home entertainment projector combines high brightness and vivid colours for vibrant, true-to-life visuals in well-lit environments – ideal for watching TV shows, sports and movies or gaming with family or friends any time of day.

True 4K UHD Resolution

Ultra HD 4K resolution delivers sharper, life-like images and richer colours – allowing you to sit closer to the screen and enjoy a more immersive experience.

Our DLP projectors provide 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.

HDR and HLG compatible

Capable of receiving and displaying both HDR10 and Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) HDR content. This Optoma projector 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.

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.

Colour Management System (CMS)

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.

ISF modes

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

Dual HDMI inputs

Play games, stream videos and share photos on the big screen in the comfort of your own home. With dual HDMI inputs, you can easily connect to your games console, set-top box, laptop, PC, Blu-ray player or media streamer with a single cable. You can even turn it into a smart projector by connecting an HDMI dongle like the Google Chromecast™, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV™ or Roku® stick.

Enhanced gaming mode

Enhanced gaming mode optimises your projector by reducing input lag down to as little as 4.20ms for lightning fast response times.

Note: When this setting is enabled some settings will be disabled. Please refer to the user manual for more information.

240Hz smooth motion

USB-Power

Use the USB-A port to power an HDMI dongle, such as Google Chromecast.

Backlit remote

Our backlit remotes are designed using subtle white LEDs to light up the buttons, making it to see and operate, especially in the dark

Wall colour adjustment

Don’t have a white wall or a projector screen? No problem! With the “Wall Color” setting, you can alter the projected image based on the colour of your wall. With six options to chose from you can easily adjust for blackboard, light yellow, light green, light blue, pink and grey walls to get the most accurate color gamut.

Four corner correction

Adjust the keystone in both the vertical and horizontal plane. You can individually warp each corner of the image to create a perfectly square image. Ideal for uneven walls or where projector placement is awkward and needs to be installed at an angle.
