Optoma Unveils New UHZ68LV Laser Projector for Ultimate Viewing Experience
Global leader in 4K UHD and DLP technology, Optoma, has recently launched its latest high-performance laser projector - the UHZ68LV. Designed for users seeking the ultimate viewing experience, this projector combines high brightness, exceptional color performance, and flexible projection settings, making it an ideal choice for both home theaters and commercial applications.
Key Features:
1. Dual Laser Light Source with 5000 Lumens
The UHZ68LV boasts a dual laser light source with a peak brightness of 5000 lumens. According to Optoma, this ensures vibrant colors and sharp details, whether you're hosting a movie marathon during the day or watching sports events, without compromising image quality. This makes the UHZ68LV a high-end projector suitable for all-day use.
2. Cinema-Grade Color Accuracy
In terms of color performance, the UHZ68LV supports 100% coverage of the Rec.709 color gamut and 90% of the DCI-P3 color space, delivering "cinema-grade color accuracy." Its DLP technology can project a 4K UHD (3840x2160) image with a maximum diagonal size of 300 inches, with a throw ratio ranging from 1.2:1 to 1.92:1. This means users can enjoy a stunning large-screen viewing experience by placing the projector just about 42 feet (12.75 meters) from the display surface.
3. High Refresh Rates and Low Input Lag
The UHZ68LV supports 4K refresh rates from 24Hz to 120Hz, and up to 240Hz at 1080p resolution, ensuring smooth visual experiences. With an input lag of just 8.5 milliseconds and PureEngine Ultra image processing technology, it further enhances color output, contrast, and image detail while maintaining clarity in action scenes.
4. Filmmaker Mode and HDR10+ Support
To cater to diverse viewing preferences, the UHZ68LV includes a Filmmaker mode to preserve the "director's original vision." It also features a dynamic contrast ratio of 3,200,000:1 and supports HDR10+ content (excluding Dolby Vision), offering "stunning contrast, color, and detail."
5. Flexible Projection Settings
The UHZ68LV offers horizontal and vertical keystone correction, 1.6x zoom, and lens shift functions, allowing easy image adjustments without moving the projector. Additionally, it supports portrait mode for TikTok-friendly content viewing. Users can also fine-tune settings for different viewing environments using the ISF calibration mode.
Connectivity and Audio:
The UHZ68LV is not a smart projector, so users need to connect their media sources via HDMI 2.1 or HDMI 2.0 ports. However, it comes equipped with onboard Ethernet LAN for network needs and built-in dual speakers (each rated at 5 watts) with Dolby Atmos passthrough. For enhanced audio, users can connect external sound systems via analog/optical outputs (plus eARC).
Availability and Pricing:
The UHZ68LV is set to launch soon in Europe, following its debut at the ISE 2025 exhibition in Barcelona. While specific details are still pending, the projector is priced at £3,999 (approximately $5,100) in the UK market.
