![]() Whether viewing streaming content from a Roku Ultra or home-shot 4K video from a computer, we had a much easier time getting astonishing images out of the UHD50. The UHD50 will take anything you throw at it and reproduce it with breathtaking clarity.īoth projectors tout 8.2 million pixels and a resolution of 3840 x 2160, but we subjectively preferred the color performance of the Optoma to the BenQ in back-to-back tests in our room. 47 Texas Instruments DLP chip that we loved in the BenQ HT2550 is also in use on the Optoma UHD50, and, if anything, we’re more impressed with its performance in the Optoma projector. With a claimed 2400 lumens of brightness, a contrast ratio of up to 500,000:1, and HDR10 support, the UHD50 will take anything you throw at it and reproduce it with breathtaking clarity. In addition to sound and video, there are two USB ports on the back of the projector - a single USB 2.0 port for firmware updates, and a USB power port for use with streaming devices or other things that require USB power. We’ll be honest, though: Most people who are considering a projector should also be thinking about getting some speakers and a home theater receiver, should they not already own one. The projector also has two 5-watt built-in speakers, which provide decent enough sound for basic presentations, but we wouldn’t recommend relying on them for any kind of real video enjoyment. In terms of sound, there are 3.5 mm audio inputs and outputs, as well as an S/PDIF digital audio output. Though most users will probably be using these for video signal, there are also RS-232C (Serial) and VGA inputs for older computers and other systems. The UHD50 has a vast array of both video and audio inputs and outputs, with Optoma even including many legacy connections for those who want to connect older systems to it.įirst and foremost, for modern viewers, there are two HDMI inputs, one for 1080p signals and one HDMI 2.0 port with HDCP 2.2 for 4K signals. It comes with a backlit remote (and batteries), a power cord, and an HDMI cable for connecting it to your receiver or video device. Save a decent projection screen, the UHD50 comes with everything you need to set it up, plug it in, and stream Stranger Things in 4K in no time. After spending a week evaluating the Optoma UHD50 while watching everything from Bad Boys to Chef’s Table, we’ve come to one simple realization: If you can buy one of these incredible new projectors, you should. With devices like Optoma’s new UHD50, which offers 4K resolution and astonishing HDR color at an affordable price, almost anyone can get in on the action. ![]() While there’s nothing like dimming the lights, popping a cold one, and watching your favorite film, tv series, or sports team in massive, 100-plus-inch glory, finding a projector of suitable quality at a price that didn’t put a major dent in the new car fund has been an insurmountable stumbling block. Everybody wants the visual experience of a movie theater without leaving the comfort of home, but historically that’s been difficult – or, at least, expensive.
