Product Summary
The Optoma UZ38X is a compact 4K UHD DuraCore dual-laser projector designed to bring bright, cinematic entertainment to films, television, live sport and gaming. Combining native 3840 × 2160 resolution with a powerful 3,800-lumen output, it produces detailed big-screen images with impressive clarity and colour.
Optoma’s PureEngine picture-processing platform enhances several important areas of the image. PureMotion MEMC technology helps fast-moving sport, films and action sequences appear smoother and clearer by reducing visible judder and motion blur, while additional image controls allow the picture to be adjusted to suit different content and viewing conditions.
The UZ38X is capable of reproducing 95% of the Rec.709 colour gamut, helping films, television programmes and games display natural and accurate colours. FILMMAKER MODE provides an alternative for film enthusiasts by preserving the content’s intended frame rate and cinematic presentation without unnecessary motion processing.
Installation is simplified by a 1.3× manual optical zoom, automatic vertical keystone correction and horizontal and vertical image adjustment. The DuraCore laser light source offers up to 30,000 hours of operation, while the IP6X-rated optical engine, 24/7 operating capability and 360-degree installation support make the UZ38X suitable for both home entertainment and demanding permanent installations.
