BRING THE CINEMA HOME

THE OPTOMA UHD33 DELIVERS EVEN IN ENVIRONMENTS WITH HIGH AMBIENT LIGHT. IT BOASTS OF 3,600 ANSI LUMENS OF BRIGHTNESS

HOME projector sales have been surging across the world since 2020. It isn’t just exotic holidays that we miss, it’s also going to the movies and catching live games on the big screen in bars with our buddies. It’s why more home projectors are either replacing TVs or complementing your large screen TVs in entertainment dens and living spaces across the country.

OPTOMA UHD33

POWERED by a Texas Instruments 4K UHD DLP chipset, this projector features a high-performance DMD (Digital Micro device) utilising XPR video processing technology with fast switching to display 8.3 million pixels.

The UHD33 boasts of 3,600 ANSI lumens of brightness and an impressive 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, along with HDR10 and HLG (Hybrid-Log Gamma) compatibility. It’s geared for gaming with an Ultra-low 4.2ms latency@1080P 240Hz that offers Ultra-quick response times. You can switch to movie mode with a touch of a button; once you’re in ‘Cinema’ display mode, the image performs true to life with high contrast by the specific Gamma curve and colour gamut. And then there’s the 21:9 panoramic mode for an immersive gaming and cinema experience.

BENQ GS2

THIS IS A GREAT option for first-time buyers testing the waters. This DLP 720p projector (1280x720 pixels) is remarkably portable and weighs just above 1.5kg. It comes with a carry case, making it easy to cart around. It’s great for a holiday too; a single charge gives you about 3 hours of battery life. Enough to catch a longish movie without power backup. It’s drop proof up to 0.5 metres; an IPX2 rating makes it splash proof too. BenQ promises an impressive lamp life of 30,000 hours (on the Eco mode) or 20,000 hours on full brightness.
