Optoma is aiming for the home or edu-based game with the new UHD35 and UHD38 projectors — both 4K UHD 1-chip DLP-based with 3,600 and 4,000 lumens of brightness, respectively. Both are Consumer Technology Association (CTA) certified True 4K UHD and include what the company is calling an “Enhanced Gaming Mode” with input lag of 4.2ms – about the same as a TV.

• 4K UHD @ 60Hz: 16.7ms
• 1080P @ 60Hz: 16.7ms
