Optoma 4K Alexa Projector

Why don’t you already have a projector? Thanks to recent advances in DLP tech, we’re running out of excuses for sticking with smallish TVs. The Optoma HD51A combines quality and convenience — courtesy of its new link to Alexa voice commands — with a price that will fit many home-theater budgets

Optoma, a world-leading manufacturer of video and audio products, is taking CES 2018 by storm with the first Alexa-enabled home theater projector. As smart home and IoT adoption and integration gain momentum, home theater enthusiasts now have the ability to integrate large-screen video into their Alexa ecosystem, tying in with speakers, lighting and more. With a continued focus on bringing new innovation to home theater projection that make it more accessible and mainstream, Optoma is also introducing and showcasing: a fully mobile 1080P high definition (HD) projector with an LED light source that delivers 1,300 lumens; new 4K-resolution, ultra high definition (UHD) home theater projectors, a segment that Optoma leads globally; and an ultra mobile pocket projector with 2+ hours of battery life.

  • Optoma UHD50: On the heels of the launch of Optoma’s first 4K resolution projectors priced under $2,000 this past Fall, Optoma is leveraging the latest TI DLP technology to deliver the next-generation 4K UHD home theater projector in 2018. Like the Optoma UHD51A, it features 2,400 lumens and a 500,000:1 contrast ratio, along with an RGBRGB color wheel and HDR10 with Rec.2020/DCPI-3 wide color gamut and two HDMI 2.0 inputs with HDCP 2.2 support. The Optoma UHD50 will be available at Amazon, BestBuy.com and Fry’s Electronics for an estimated street price of $1,499.
  • Optoma LH150: Optoma delivers a completely mobile 1080p HD resolution, 1,300 lumen LED projector with battery pack for just $899. With 40,000:1 contrast ratio, multiple HDMI and USB ports and dual integrated speakers, along with WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 output, this projector is a true mainstream market product. The inclusion of a battery back means consumers can provide a jaw-dropping entertainment experience in their yards, on camping trips or nearly anywhere else with complete ease. It will be available for purchase in Q2.
  • Optoma 4K UHD HDR Laser UST: This projector packs in all of the latest home theater innovations for an incredible cinematic experience, with 4K UHD resolution, a laser light source and an ultra short throw. With 2,300 lumens, a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio, HDR-compatibility and 0.25 throw, providing a 100-inch image from just 8-inches away, it will provide a stunning visual experience, with a small footprint. This projector is expected to make its appearance in Q2 with a target price point of $4,999, mapping to Optoma’s continued vision for premium quality products at mainstream pricing.
  • Optoma LED Pocket Projector: This ultra portable pocket projector delivers great performance in a tiny package. With WVGA (854×480) resolution and 300 lumens, it features a .2 LED RGB light source with a lifetime of 20,000 hours, HDMI port with MHL, and 2+ hours of battery life in eco-mode.
