Optoma UHZ66

Overview

The Optoma UHZ66 has a good picture but offers little else, and its high price really asks for more. With competitors offering as much and more without major upticks in price, the UHZ66 just doesn’t stand out.

This laser-powered DLP projector delivers sufficient brightness and a low enough latency to satisfy any cost-conscious but demanding big-screen gamer

By Stuff on February 21, 2024

If you’re looking for a bright and immersive gaming experience, plus the kind of latency usually associated with a dedicated monitor, this DLP projector is for you. It’s not perfect, but the 4K images are sharp and the HDR has real pop. The blacks are weak, the colours could go wider, the setup is limited and there’s no support for 4K/120Hz, but otherwise this capable and affordable beamer is just the ticket.

At heart, the eco-friendly UHZ66 is a good projector, but its pursuit of HDR glory has blown it off course

By What Hi-Fi? on March 01, 2023

The Optoma UHZ66 is a compact 4K projector relying on lasers for exceedingly bright images, accurate colors, and an incredibly long lamp life of 30,000 hours. With 4,000 lumens, the UHZ66 can even bring a cinema experience to rooms with ambient light. Thanks to a long throw lens, buyers have more flexibility to install the UHZ66 in almost any setting.
