Review: What an upgrade from my trusty 1080p Epson - After 8-9 years (!) with an Epson 6500UB (and 3ish lamps) I hungered for a boost in resolution. I was concerned that I'd lose the 'ultrablack' from the UB moniker but those fears have been completely abated. This is maybe the 7th projector I've owned over the years and the detail/picture quality/contrast are all fabulous. I have a 128" wall that I project onto (I've had a half dozen screens over the year, super happy with my custom-painted light gray flat wall) and, while not everything is visibly 4k, the things that are really pop and look more 3d (ie. better depth, really a function of contrast and detail). Rings of Power on desertcart is a great example of what this projector can do - it's a breathtaking experience. There are two weaknesses, neither are connected to picture quality. First, the remote is terrible. Range is bad, it's unresponsive, it's the worst projector remove I've ever used, by some margin. Second, I need that stupid remote more than I ought to because the projector tries to pull up it's own 'smart tv' menu and 'creative cast' when it's firing up, necessitating me to change inputs back to HDMI 2 (the only input I ever use) way more often than I'd like to. Once I'm up and running, no complaints, but it's both a terrible UI and a terrible remote. Overall, beyond happy. I watch in Eco mode (not Eco+ as the auto-iris brightness adjustments are distracting for me) even on sunny mornings when the room is lit more than I'd like, and it's still plenty bright. Review: White Spots = bad DMD boards that fail just after warranty ends. - I rarely write reviews, but after TWO of these Optoma models failing just after warranty ends, I felt compelled to warn others. The projector is great except for a fatal flaw of the DMD boards giving out and that leads to so many white spots that it looks like you are watching a starry sky overlaid on whatever you are watching. This is an issue all over the internet and to replace the failed DMD chip, you must spend about half the total cost you paid for the projector! Or you can try and repair yourself, but it's a pretty involved process and often leads to the projector failing in other ways. I'd go with a different brand until Optoma learns to care about their customers and not produce a product that fails just after warranty ends for so many customers. Another example of Optoma bad customer service is that it voids your warranty if you replace the lamp?! Most projectors like this, you replace the lamp yourself...it's like 3 screws to take out and is really easy. Optoma has it so you are supposed to go into a repair center to swap the lamp. Everything else is great about the projector, but it's unacceptable to have enough people complaining about the exact same product flaw to the extent of class action lawsuit risk is on the table for Optoma I'd say. ## Features - TRUE 4K UHD: Experience a high-quality home cinema feel with true 4K UHD with 8.3 million distinct addressable on-screen pixels – that’s double the detail compared to 4K Pro UHD. - OPTIMIZED FOR GAMING: Enhanced Gaming Mode reduces input lag down to 4ms at 1080p 240 Hz for lag-free input response, or 15ms at 4K UHD resolutions for a projector so gamers can decide if they want a competitive advantage at 1080p or incredible detail with 4K - STUNNING COLOR: With 97% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage, the UHD55’s color wheel produces brilliant, cinematic color ideal for home entertainment – thanks to Optoma’s 20-year history of craftsmanship in color technology and color calibration;

At first I had mixed feelings. First the remote control is terrible! It takes twice as long to adjust the picture, shape, size,...etc because the remote either does not work or double taps. You need to set up the picture for SDR (4k) for videos from Youtube, and for HDR (4k) for videos from Netflix, HBO, Prime, and a UHD player. The SDR setting was easy to set up and adjust. Blacks were deep and bold, whites are bright, and colors were vivid. The hardest color to adjust was green. However I could not get HDR to look as good. The blacks were a bit washed out and the whites were blooming and pixelating all over, especially the sky and high contrast scenes. It also looked a bit grainy from time to time. I knew something was wrong. From the SDR settings I could see that the projector was capable of better. SOLUTION: After some research I found out that in order to get a good HDR image that uses a HCG (high color gamut) or wider range of color, you need to plug into HDMI2 not HDMI1. After making this change and tweeking the setting a bit I was astonished at the video coming out of this projector. I looks almost as good as my Sony A80J downstairs! Blacks are solid, whites were not blooming anymore and everything was beautiful and sharp. I actually decided to turn down the sharpness a bit for more of a natural look. I tested the new Lord of the Rings and House of Dragons which had several dark and light scenes, and everything was gorgeous. This went from a 3star to 5star overnight. Please try this fix if you are using HDMI1, and feel free to ask me questions! ## Frequently Bought Together - Optoma UHD55 4K Ultra HD DLP Home Theater and Gaming Projector, Built-In Speaker - VIVO Universal Adjustable Ceiling Projector Mount for Regular and Mini Projectors with Extending Arms, White, MOUNT-VP01W - Silver Ticket Products STR Series 6 Piece White 1.1 Gain 120" Diagonal 16:9 Format Projection Screen, Aluminum Frame, Wall Mounted, 109.25x63.625 inches STR-169120 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/443845198-optoma-uhd55-4k-ultra-hd-dlp-home-theater-and-gaming](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/443845198-optoma-uhd55-4k-ultra-hd-dlp-home-theater-and-gaming) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-08-23*
