About the Optoma UHD35STx

Emily S.

Big, bright movie nights

The UHD35STx is a perfect way to enjoy immersive movie nights at home, especially if your room doesn't have the depth required for a long throw projector. This short throw model can give you a 100-inch image from just over a yard away from the screen. It offers a 4K UHD picture and support for HDR (High Dynamic Range) so you get lifelike color and detail on screens up to 300 inches. And it produces 3,600 lumens of brightness, so you can enjoy a vivid picture even in rooms with some ambient light.

Optoma's UHD35STx is a short throw projector designed to be placed between two and ten feet from the screen.

Gaming on a massive scale

The UHD35STx is a great option for gamers who want to upsize their play area. It has an input response time of 16.9ms for 4K at 60Hz or a lightning fast 4ms for 1080p at 240Hz — great for fast-paced console or PC gaming.

DLP micromirror technology

If you've been to a movie theater in the last twenty years, there's a good chance you've seen a DLP (Digital Light Processing) projector in action. Those professional projectors are massive and expensive, and they feature three DLP imaging chips — one each for the red, green, and blue color primaries.

Most home DLP projectors, including the UHD35STx, use a single DLP chip with a color wheel to reproduce the full color spectrum. The underlying technology sounds like something out of science fiction: DLP chips use millions of tiny mirrors to control the individual pixels that make up the image.

The way it does 4K

To display all the pixels needed for 4K, each frame of video is split horizontally and vertically four ways, and they're displayed very rapidly one after the other, with the pixels shifted diagonally. Your eyes perceive it as a single fluid image containing all of the original detail in the 4K video signal.

Simple setup

The UHD35STx sets up easily on a table, or you can pick up a bracket and ceiling-mount it. Its 4-corner adjustment feature adds flexibility to your installation options.

The projector's built-in speakers can also help facilitate a quick setup. But if you want a little more, use the optical digital audio or minijack audio output to connect to a sound system. It has two HDMI inputs for connecting your high-definition sources.

For the best picture quality from any projector, we recommend using a projector screen.

    DLP Projector: The Optoma UHD35STx projector incorporates DLP technology from Texas Instruments (TI), which creates razor sharp pictures and amazing videos with incredible colors and brightness, while also providing reliability and longevity. It can be used with 30" to 300" screen sizes.

    • DLP is a reflective technology and can deliver images with both high native ANSI contrast (1,000,000:1) and exceptional brightness (3600 lumens), creating a picture that is natural and life-like.
    • Video and graphics produced by the latest DLP technology are sharper because the mirrors on the DLP chip are so close together that the gaps between pixels in an image are less noticeable. Spaced less than one micron apart, its mirrors create a crisp, detailed image.
    • The inherent speed of DLP technology means that Optoma projector can output video and images at an astonishing rate of 240Hz (1080p), 120Hz (1080p), or 60Hz (4K) for clear and seamless motion.

    XPR 4K Pixel-Shift Technology: Texas Instrument's XPR Technology is a pixel-shifting technology that helps the DLP projector achieve CTA (Consumer Technology Association) approved 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution. XPR Technology utilizes lightning fast pixel-shifting that creates pixels horizontally and vertically to perfectly quadruple the DLP projector's 0.65" DMD 1080p chip and generate 8.3 million distinct pixels on-screen. That's 4x more detail than Full HD 1080p and more than 2x the detail of Epson's 4K Pro UHD technology, which delivers just 4.1 million pixels.

    • 4K UHD Resolution: 4K UHD resolution delivers sharper, life-like images and richer colors - allowing you to sit closer to the screen and enjoy a more immersive experience.
    • 4K UHD Upscale: The Optoma UHD35STx projector will also upscale lower resolution source content to 4K UHD. It will upscale WXGA, 720p, 1080p, WUXGA, and 1440p video resolutions to 4K (3840 x 2160) @ 60Hz.

    Note: The Optoma UHD35STx is not Native 4K. It uses pixel-shifting technology to create a 4K display image from a 1080p DLP chip.

    Amazing Color Technology: Watch your movies, TV shows and play games with stunning colors in any environment. Optoma projectors provide reliable performance suitable for any content and environment. The UHD35STx is capable of reproducing the Rec.709 color gamut, the international HDTV standard to guarantee accurate reproduction of cinematic color exactly as the director intended. It can even produce more saturated colors for a more vibrant looking image, great for gaming and animated movies.

    • BrilliantColor: BrilliantColor technology utilizes a new color-processing algorithm and enhancements to enable higher brightness while providing true, more vibrant colors in picture.
    • CMS (Color Matching System): Its CMS (Color Matching System) displays accurate lifelike colors to best match your viewing content and environment; this unique feature provides you with the flexibility to fine-tune the color settings for optimal precision.

    Dynamic Black Technology: Dynamic Black Technology gives more depth to your image by smoothly adjusting the lamp output, based on the brightness information of each frame. As a result, the Optoma UHD35STx DLP projector can create a stunning high contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1. Bright scenes appear crisp and clear, while dark scenes remain detailed with deep blacks and exceptional light and shade detail.

    HDR Compatible: The Optoma UHD35STx is capable of receiving and displaying HDR content via its HDMI 2.0 input. HDR (High Dynamic Range) enhances the image brightness and contrast for more detail and texture with a greater sense of depth in order to produce a more natural and life like image. The projector is compatible with HDR10 and HLG formats (not compatible with HDR10+ or Dolby Vision). You can choose between 4 HDR Picture Modes to adjust the dynamic range according to the video content or environment.

    • Bright: Choose the Bright Mode for brighter and more saturated colors.
    • Standard: Choose Standard Mode for natural looking colors with a balance of warm and cool tones.
    • Film: Choose Film Mode for improved motion and film-like image.
    • Detail: Choose Detail Mode for improved detail and image sharpness.

    Enhanced Gaming: Enhanced Gaming Mode combined with a fast refresh rate delivers low-latency, fast input response times for 1080p and 4K video; perfect for fast-paced and competitive console or PC gaming. The Game Display Mode provides a visual advantage by boosting shadows and dark scenes for greater visibility of impending obstacles.

    • 1080p HD: 4.0ms @ 240 Hz, 8.6ms @ 120 Hz, or 17.0ms @ 60Hz
    • 4K UHD: 16.7ms @ 60Hz (the projector does not support 4k/120Hz)

    Note: When the Enhanced Gaming Mode is enabled some audio/video settings will be disabled.

    3D-Ready: The Optoma UHD35STx can display 1080p 3D content from almost any 3D source, including 3D Blu-ray players, 3D broadcasting, and the latest generation game consoles. You'll need a pair of Optoma's DLP Link active shutter 3D Glasses (sold separately - not available at Crutchfield). 3D content is available in 720p or 1080p (not 4K).

    Display Modes: You can choose from a variety of factory optimized display mode presets to suit your source content, as well as manually adjust picture settings to suit your personal preference.

    • Reference: This mode is intended to reproduce as close as possible the image the way the movie director intended. Color, color temperature, brightness, contrast and gamma settings are all configured to standard reference levels.
