Last year, Optoma introduced the UHZ35ST, a UHD laser projector designed for short distances and gaming, capable of reaching refresh rates of up to 240 Hz. Now, the Optoma UHZ35 has come out as its counterpart, which needs a bit more space from the projection surface, but still packs a punch with its features.
Compact Yet Powerful
Unlike the short-throw model, the Optoma UHZ35 is a compact 4K UHD DuraCore laser projector. While the UHZ35ST can project a 100-inch image from less than one meter, the UHZ35 requires at least 1.3 meters to deliver its visuals. It boasts a projection ratio ranging from 1.4:1 to 2.24:1, allowing for an impressive image size of up to 303 inches. Additionally, it has a 1.6x zoom capability and can project images in both 360-degree and portrait formats.
Bright and Rich Visuals
The projector supports HDR and HLG and is capable of producing bright visuals with a maximum output of 3,500 lumens thanks to its DLP technology and laser light source. The contrast ratio is specified by the manufacturer at an astounding 500,000:1, and it supports refresh rates of up to 240 Hz. This makes the Optoma UHZ35 a good choice for gaming enthusiasts, especially since its input latency in gaming mode at 1080p and 240 Hz is impressively low at just 4.4 ms. There's even a specific picture mode designed for golf simulations.
Connectivity and Eco-Friendly Design
The Optoma UHZ35 is equipped with two HDMI 2.0 ports (one featuring eARC), a USB-A port, a 3.5 mm audio jack, as well as RJ45 and RS232 connections. Optoma claims efficient energy use, with a maximum power consumption of 185 W. All of these features are housed in a compact design made from up to 50 percent PCR (post-consumer recycled) plastic, which also includes a built-in 15W speaker.
