4K Projectors

John/Lads,

I see that Optoma have brought out a 'relatively' affordable 4K projector and Richersounds will be selling them soon https://www.richersounds.com/product/projectors/optoma/uhd65/opto-uhd65-projector.

Its probably still outside of my price range but will this signal a start to more affordable 4k projectors coming onto the market? 

What are the whispers coming from Richer Towers? LOL

Hi Fred,

thanks for the post and apologies for the delay getting back to you - we are awaiting the UHD65 with bated breath - it will be on dem in the demo room within 5 minutes of it landing  :D 

Its inevitable that as 4K UHD becomes standard across TV and indeed mainstream for broadcast that 4K PJ's will start to drop in price ( unfortunately that's the nature of our industry!) - Feel free to drop me a PM or a mail directly with a target price and I'll keep my ear to teh ground for you...

Thanks again,

ATVB,

I am also interested in this post. As a long time JVC projector lover, i just cant fork out what they are asking for the 4k versions...

I'll be up for a look at this when it is demo'd

Thanks John,

I think if you get the UHD65 I may take a long awaited trip up to ye to see it . I'll send you a PM with my price range in the off chance something comes on the market. Having an affordable 4K projector would be a driver for me to get the likes of SKY Q in, considering how good a job my current Optoma HD projector does

Hi TCP/IP,

I have been having a look online and can't find the UHD65 available in white, only black. You can get the UHD60 in white but wouldn't be as well spec'd as the 65 (lower contrast ratio).

Many thanks.

any sign of either of these projectors yet? I'm swaying towards the UHD60 just due to the input lag being less as the projector has my xbox linked up to it and I use it quite a bit for gaming on

Hi batfin,

I had a look at our scheduled warehouse deliveries but unfortunately we still don't have a release date. I will check with our purchasing department to see if they even have a vague date but as of yet we still have nothing I'm afraid.

I will keep you posted.

Kind regards

David

Hello. Just wanted to register my interest on these! Snipped by Mod, but i've tended to buy my larger home cinema equipment from you over the years and its worked out well

Manonboard,

thanks for the post - I did get a look at your post before it was snipped and I can see that Amazon are selling some of the UHD60 around £2k - if these come from a genuine UK / IRL source I'm happy to price match of course once they come with a reasonable 5/6 year warranty like our own.

However the lowest price on Amazon at the moment only includes a standard warranty and it's via a company based in Germany - nothing against German companies but we are a touch more local and easier to deal with in the event of any issue  

So...of course we will look at any pricebeat but generally they should be Irl / UK based but do always try us!

Also I'm sure you do know but there have been other Optoma UHD 4K PJ's launched since the UHD60 / UHD65 have a look at the UHD40 and the UHD550:
