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 colors 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.

*With no direct sunlight or lights directed on screen.

True 4K UHD Resolution
Ultra HD 4K resolution delivers sharper, life-like images and richer colors – 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.

PureMotion
Using sophisticated frame-interpolation technology, advanced motion control processing eliminates motion blurring or image judder, even in high-speed action sequences.

WiSA Certified

This product has been certified to work with WiSA Soundsend wireless audio transmitters to allow wireless connection to WiSA Certified speakers from multiple brands. WiSA technologies enable ultra-high quality audio to be transmitted and received wirelessly, with perfect synchronisation and no perceivable latency.

Built-in media player

Share presentations directly from your projector without the need for an external device such as a laptop or PC using the built-in media player. Simply copy your documents, images and videos to a USB stick / SD card / microSD card (depending on the projector input) and display them on the big screen.

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

240Hz smooth motion
Enjoy ultra-smooth fluid motion and reduced ghosting. A high refresh rate makes it easier to keep track of the action, giving you a better chance of hitting your target earlier. Ideal for fast action gaming.

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.

See more
Get right inside the action with the most immersive experience possible – a huge screen up to 300in.* Far larger than the average TV, split-screen multiplayer games are more enjoyable to play on the big screen.

24p
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.

Geometric correction

Adjust individual points to get the image perfectly square using the advanced built-in geometric correction tool. Ideal if you are not using a screen and have an uneven wall you want to project onto.

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.

Apps

Access compatible apps such as YouTube and Spotify using the built-in App store – Marketplace. Perfect for streaming movies, TV shows and clips.

Note: Optoma projectors run on a customised version of android. Google Play Services not supported. Not all third-party apps will be compatible or may be discontinued without notice. They may also vary in quality and resolution.

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.

Laser technology

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.
