Pros and cons

According to our projector expert

  • Via the smart platform, you can easily stream your favorite movies and series on the projector.
  • Thanks to the high 3000 ANSI lumen light output, you can also view clear images in a dimly lit room as well.
  • You don't notice much lag between the controller and the action on the screen thanks to the low input lag.
  • Most applications aren't on the smart platform by default, so you have to download them via the built-in Marketplace app store.

This way, you can stream your favorite movie to the projector for a movie night with friends. The projector has a high 3000 ANSI lumens light output, which makes your images look clear even in a dimly lit room. This way, you can also watch a series during the day in your living room. The 2 HDMI ports allow you to connect peripherals such as a Google Chromecast or game console.

The Optoma UHZ55 has a throw ratio of 1,21 - 1,59 :1, which means you can place the projector between 1.21 en 1.59m away from the screen for a 1m wide projection. For a 2m wide projection, you can double this distance between 2.42 - 3.18m. Be sure to first check where you want to put the projector and if there's space.

Top-Beamer - not a smartbeamer

  • Beautiful picture
  • Clearly also in bright surroundings
  • Quiet
  • Very limited marketplace of optoma
Nice top projector but I wouldn't call it smart. The Optoma marketplace doesn't offer any Belgian streaming services, not even Disney+. So I put a Chromecast behind it

Very good price/quality ratio.

  • very nice picture
  • quiet
  • very good price/quality ratio
  • HDMI connection sensitive to power cable.
The uhz55 gives a beautiful image and is quiet, that is what I find most important. But there have been cutbacks on e.g. the zoom capacity and it does not come with a lens cap. For sale via optoma england for 35.00 euros. If you have children in the house I would definitely buy the lens cap, my experience is that children are very attracted to touch the lens with their greasy fingers. And sensitive to interference on the HDMI cable. Pay attention to this! The HDMI cable should not be too close to the power cable. It is also warned about in the manual. For the rest, highly recommended. I myself bought a second chance uhz55, a great opportunity for even more fun.
