About it

Bright, True 4K UHD short throw projector for classrooms and meeting spaces

Discover the short throw version of the 4K400x, for when you want a big screen in a smaller space.

Future proof your classroom or meeting room with this high brightness True 4K UHD short throw projector. The 4K400STx delivers rich visuals in any environment even when total ambient light control is not possible.

This projector boasts two HDMI ports, audio connections, USB to power 5V devices, 12V trigger and an RS232 to integrate into your existing control solution.

In addition, enjoy 1080p in 240Hz with 4.2ms input lag when connected to a PC.

Short Throw

With a short throw lens, you can project an impressive 100” image from just over a meter away. This allows you to place the projector closer to the wall, reducing shadows so you can present with ease.

True 4K UHD resolution

Ultra HD 4K resolution delivers sharper, life-like images and richer colors - allowing you to sit closer to the screen and enjoy a more immersive experience.

Our DLP projectors provide CTA (Consumer Technology Association) approved True 4K UHD resolution, capable of projecting 8.3 million on screen pixels. That's four times more detail than Full HD and twice as many from competing technology, which only delivers 4.1 million pixels.

HDR and HLG compatible

Capable of receiving and displaying both HDR10 and Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) HDR content. This Optoma projector allows you to see far more detail and texture. Objects look more solid and lifelike and the extra detail creates a greater sense of depth.

Lights on viewing

*With no direct sunlight or lights directed on screen.

Dual HDMI inputs

You can even turn it into a smart projector by connecting an HDMI dongle like the Google Chromecast™, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV™ or Roku® stick.

About the Optoma 4K400STx 4K UHD Short Throw Projector

The Optoma 4K400STx is a 4K UHD DLP projector built for short-throw setups: a 0.5:1 throw ratio puts a very large image on the wall from close range, so it works in smaller rooms and above a media console. It pairs a 4,000-lumen lamp with HDR-ready 4K input, four-corner keystone correction and a built-in speaker, which keeps setup simple. Against long-throw 4K projectors it trades placement flexibility for closeness, and against LED and laser rivals it gives up long light-source life and needs more manual adjustment. It suits movie and sports rooms, gaming at high refresh rates and bright living rooms where a TV would be too small.

Best forSmall rooms and apartments where the projector sits close to the wallBig-screen movie and sports viewing in a living roomGaming at 1080p/120Hz or 4K/60HzCeiling or shelf mounting above a media console
Pros
  • Short 0.5:1 throw fills a large screen from a few feet away
  • Native 4K UHD resolution with HDR input
  • 4,000 lumens holds up in rooms with some ambient light
  • Four-corner keystone plus horizontal and vertical correction eases off-axis placement

Two HDMI inputs and a built-in speaker for a simple setup
  • 120Hz refresh at 1080p suits fast games
  • Cons
    • Lamp light source rated around 4,000 hours in normal mode, short next to laser rivals
    • No optical zoom and manual focus limit fine sizing
    • No lens shift, so placement depends on keystone correction
    • No wireless connectivity; Bluetooth is listed but streaming needs a stick or box
    • Built-in speaker is basic for anything beyond casual use

    What reviewers say

    Owners rate it highly for the short-throw 4K picture and bright output in a modest room. Complaints center on lamp life, fan noise and the limits of manual focus and keystone.

    What people mention
    • Picture sharpnessPraisedOwners say the 4K image is crisp and detailed, especially with native 4K sources.
    • BrightnessPraisedReviewers find it bright enough for rooms with some daylight.
    • Short throwPraisedBuyers like getting a huge picture from a few feet away in small rooms.
    • Fan noiseCriticisedSome owners notice fan noise during quiet dialogue scenes.
    • Lamp lifeCriticisedReviewers flag the roughly 4,000-hour lamp rating and replacement cost against laser projectors.
    • SetupMixedFour-corner correction helps, but manual focus and no lens shift mean careful placement.

    Questions and answers

    Does it need a special screen?
    No. A plain white or light gray wall works, though a short-throw-friendly screen reduces hot spots and improves contrast.
    How far from the wall should it sit?
    With a 0.5:1 throw ratio, roughly half the screen width. A 100-inch-wide image needs about 50 inches of distance.
    Is it good for gaming?
    Yes for console and PC gaming: it accepts 1080p at 120Hz and 4K at 60Hz, with low enough input lag for most players.
    Does it have smart apps built in?
    No. There is no streaming platform onboard, so plan on a streaming stick, console or set-top box over HDMI.
    How long does the lamp last?
    About 4,000 hours in normal mode, less in bright mode. That is well short of laser projectors rated for 20,000 hours or more.
    Can I mount it on the ceiling?
    Yes. It weighs about 8.8 lb and has ceiling-mount holes, but there is no lens shift, so aim it carefully before tightening.
