Optoma UHZ65LV

Features

DLP laser projector: The Optoma UHZ65LV 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 26" to 302" screen sizes.

• DLP is a reflective technology and can deliver images with both high native ANSI contrast (2,000,000:1) and exceptional brightness (5000 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.

DuraCore Laser Light Source: A DuraCore Laser light source eliminates lamp and filter replacements for up to 30,000 hours of maintenance-free operation with consistent brightness, stunning color and exceptional image quality throughout the life of the projector. The UHZ265LV powers on nearly instantly with full brightness thanks to its DuraCore Laser light source, unlike lamp projectors that need warming up. Engineered for the ultimate home theater, the incredibly bright DuraCore Laser light source delivers an amazing visual experience at any hour of the day.

• Optoma DuraCore Laser projectors have a sealed, dust resistant optical engine to ensure excellent reliability.
• The DuraCore Laser light source maintains stable brightness (5000 lumens) and color performance over the life of the projector without regressive decay like lamps.
• Up to 30,000 hours (Eco mode) or 20,000 hours (Bright mode) of light source life ensures many years of reliable operation without lamp replacements.

Note: 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 color performance, instant on/off and an extraordinary life span of up to 30,000 hours.

Projection Lens: The Optoma UHZ265LV features a high-quality optical elements projection lens with a focal length of 20.91mm to 32.62mm and throw ratio of 1.39:1 to 2.22:1. The projection lens' uncompromising optical quality delivers extremely low color flare and chromatic aberration resulting in a crystal clear, high contrast image.

• Manual Zoom & Focus: The projection lens offers a 1.6x zoom with a manual zoom lever and focus ring to make sure your projected image looks great on screen. The projector will focus at a distance of 4.3' to 30.5'.
• Lens Shift: To adjust the image position on-screen, turn the lens shift dial clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust the position of the projected image vertically.

XPR 4K Pixel-Shift Technology: Texas Instrument's XPR Technology is a pixel-shifting technology that helps the DLP laser 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 in 4-ways to perfectly quadruple the DLP laser projector's 0.66" DMD 2716x1528 chip and generates 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 UHZ65LV projector will also upscale lower resolution source content to 4K UHD. It will upscale 720p and 1080i/p video resolutions to 4K (3840 x 2160) @ 60Hz.
• UltraDetail: In addition, the UHZ65LV possesses an exclusive image algorithm function, UltraDetail, that adjust the edges of the projected image in order to provide even more perceived details.

Note: The Optoma UHZ65LV is not Native 4K. It uses pixel-shifting technology to create a 4K display image from a 2716x1528 DLP chip.

PureEngine with UltraDetail: The UHZ65LV DLP laser projector utilizes Optoma's PureEngine & Ultra Detail technologies for outstanding video performance. Combined, these two video technologies ensure all the information contained in an image is faithfully reproduced on the screen giving a stunning crystal clear, pin-sharp picture.
