Optoma UHZ35.
Bright 3,500-lumen laser 4K aimed at gaming and fast-motion sports.
The Verdict.
Gavler Meta-Score
“The best projector for gamers who also watch movies. The 4.4ms input lag at 240Hz is monitor-fast, but the lack of lens shift means you need a cooperative room layout.”
The Gavler Verdict
Precision Engineering
4.4ms Input Lag at 1080p/240Hz
Monitor-rivaling response time for competitive gaming — 16.9ms at native 4K/60Hz for console play.
3,500 Lumens DLP Laser
Bright enough for ambient-light rooms with 500,000:1 dynamic contrast for HDR10 content.
WiSA Wireless Audio Support
Eliminates speaker wire runs — pairs directly with WiSA-compatible speakers for clean installations.
Technical Specifications
The Scoreboard
Expert scores reward the gaming performance and value proposition at $1,699. Community rating slightly lower — likely reflects that movie-first buyers find black levels and color accuracy below dedicated cinema projectors in this price range.
