Bright 4K UHD gaming and home entertainment projector
Immerse yourself in a world of Ultra HD gaming, live sports and TV shows. The UHD38x delivers impressive bright 4K UHD quality images, lightning-fast input lagInput Lag Signal input lag for a projector refers to the delay between the moment a signal (such as a video feed from a computer or gaming console) is initiated and when it is displayed on the projector screen. This lag occurs due to several factors, including signal processing, resolution scaling, and refresh rates. It is particularly important for activities requiring immediate feedback, such as gaming or live presentations, where even a slight delay can disrupt the experience. Measuring signal input lag in milliseconds (ms) helps users evaluate a projector’s performance. Lower signal input lag ensures a smoother and more synchronised viewing experience. as low as 4.2ms and a high refresh rate of 240Hz – perfect for a competitive gaming advantage.

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 gamutcolour gamut Colour gamut refers to the range of colours a projector can display. It is typically measured using the CIE 1931 colour space, which visualizes the range of colours visible to the human eye in a two-dimensional diagram. This colour space represents a projector's colour gamut, showing the specific colours that the projector can accurately reproduce. Rec. 709, also known as BT.709, is a standard colour gamut used in high-definition television (HDTV) and Blu-ray discs. It defines the colour space for HDTV with a specific range of colours that can be reproduced. The Rec. 709 colour space is smaller than the human eye's full range of colours, but it has been widely adopted for HD content production and display. On the other hand, Rec. 2020, also known as BT.2020, is a standard encompassing a significantly wider colour gamut than Rec. 709. It is designed to represent a much larger range of colours, closer to what the human eye can see. Rec. 2020 is often associated with ultra-high-definition content and next-generation display technologies, offering a more extensive palette of colours for more vibrant and lifelike imagery. The measurement of color gamut involves using a spectrophotometer or a colorimeter to analyze the projector's output across various wavelengths of light. This data is then plotted on the CIE 1931 color space diagram to visualize the projector's color gamut. This allows for a quantitative assessment of the projector's color reproduction capabilities according to specific color gamut standards such as Rec. 709 or Rec. 2020., 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.

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 modeGaming Mode Gaming mode for projectors and TVs is a specialized display setting designed to minimize input lag and optimize visual performance specifically for gaming. By prioritizing faster response times and reducing display processing, gaming mode aims to enhance the gaming experience by providing smooth and responsive gameplay with minimal delay between the player's input and the on-screen action. This mode is tailored to meet the demands of gaming enthusiasts, ensuring an immersive and lag-free gaming experience on projectors and TVs.
Enhanced gaming mode optimises your projector for maximum contrast and vivid colours to capture every detail. It also reduces input lag down to as little as {{ProjInput_Lag}}ms 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.*

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
Four corner correction enables the keystone of the projector to be adjusted in both the vertical and horizontal plane, so you can individually warp each corner of the projected image to make it perfectly square. Ideal for uneven walls or in spaces where the projector placement is awkward or limited and needs to be installed at an angle.

| Contrast ratioContrast Ratio The full on/off contrast ratio for projectors is a measurement that indicates the difference between the brightest and darkest parts of an image. It is obtained by comparing the luminance of the brightest white (full on) to the darkest black (full off) that the projector can produce. A higher contrast ratio typically results in images with greater depth, detail, and visual impact, making it an important factor in evaluating the quality of projected images. | 1,000,000:1 |
| Native aspect ratio | 16:9 |
| Aspect ratio – compatible | 4:3 |
| Keystone correctionKeystone Correction The keystone adjustment feature on a projector corrects the trapezoidal distortion of the projected image that can occur when the projector is not perpendicular to the screen. This distortion happens when the projector is tilted vertically or horizontally, resulting in a skewed or trapezoid-shaped image rather than a perfect rectangle. The keystone adjustment allows users to digitally manipulate the projected image's shape, correcting the trapezoidal distortion and ensuring that the image appears rectangular and proportional. This feature is especially useful when the projector cannot be placed directly in front of the centre of the screen due to space constraints or mounting limitations. By adjusting the keystone settings, users can align the projected image with the screen, resulting in a more accurate and visually pleasing display. – horizontal | 40° |

| Throw ratioThrow Ratio The throw ratio of a projector refers to the ratio of the distance between the projector and the screen to the width of the projected image. This ratio determines the size of the image based on the projector's distance from the screen, making it a crucial factor in choosing the right projector for a specific space. To calculate the distance between the projector and its screen using the throw ratio, one can use the following formula: Distance = Throw Ratio x Width of the Image For instance, if a projector has a throw ratio of 1.5:1 and the desired width of the image is 6 feet, the distance from the projector to the screen would be 1.5 x 6 = 9 feet. Understanding the throw ratio and its calculation is essential for setting up a projector to achieve the desired image size and optimal viewing experience based on the available space. | 1.5:1 ~ 1.66:1 |
