First Impressions
Overall Impression:This projector is designed primarily for stationary use, given its larger size and reliance on a power outlet. While it delivers improved image quality through pixel shifting, it does not provide the convenience of features like auto keystone correction or autofocus, requiring manual adjustments for optimal image geometry. The inclusion of a built-in 10W speaker adds a degree of usability without needing additional sound equipment. However, potential buyers should be aware that the lamp life is limited, necessitating a replacement after a certain period, and that it does not offer true 4k resolution, falling short of the highest standards in image clarity.

Viewing Experience | The Optoma UHD35s offers a solid viewing experience with good white light output and satisfactory native contrast, making it suitable for dark room settings. However, it falls short in color performance, particularly in HDR content, where colors lack vibrancy and pop. While it excels in covering the Rec. 709 color space, its limitations in the wider Rec. 2020 color space hinder its overall appeal for HDR viewing. Overall, the projector provides a decent performance, but color reproduction may not meet the expectations of those seeking a more vivid experience. |

Overall Impression:
The Optoma UHD38 series projectors offer impressive 4K picture quality and brightness, making them great for home theater setups, gaming, and everyday viewing.
