help Optoma UHD38 FAQ

Is the Optoma UHD38 a laser projector?

No. The UHD38 uses a replaceable 240-watt lamp rather than a laser light source. Optoma rates lamp life at up to 15,000 hours in Dynamic mode, with shorter life in brighter modes. [Source](https://www.optomausa.com/product/UHD38)

Can the Optoma UHD38 run PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X games at 4K and 120 Hz?

It accepts 4K UHD gameplay at up to 60 Hz through HDMI 2.0, not 4K at 120 Hz. Higher-refresh play is available at lower resolution, including 1080p at 120 Hz on consoles and up to 240 Hz from a compatible PC.

When does the UHD38 achieve its advertised 4.2 ms input lag?

The lowest 4.2 ms figure applies to 1080p at 240 Hz with Enhanced Gaming mode enabled. At 4K 60 Hz, latency is higher, although still positioned for responsive big-screen gaming.

How far from the screen must the Optoma UHD38 be installed?

The UHD38 has a throw ratio of approximately 1.5:1 to 1.66:1 and only a 1.1x manual zoom. It is a standard-throw model with no lens shift, so buyers should calculate placement carefully before ceiling mounting it.
