Optoma calls this ultra short throw projector its “TV killer”, but we think your telly can rest easy for a little while yet.

At £3,299, the UHZ65UST is certainly towards the upper end of the price range for home cinema projectors. The centrepiece of the large, angular design is the laser projector lens. At the back, you’ll find an Ethernet connection (you can also connect over Wi-Fi), a USB port, an auxiliary audio port for a soundbar or surround sound setup, S/PDIF, and two HDMI 2.0 ports. An additional USB and HDMI are found at the side of the projector. The remote is made of a similarly angular-looking slab of metal, with a MicroUSB charging port on one end.
