Our take on the Optoma UHD38x 4K UHD Gaming Projector

The Optoma UHD38x is a DLP home projector with native 4K (3840 x 2160) resolution and 4,000 lumens of brightness. It is aimed at gamers and movie watchers who want a big picture in a room with some ambient light, and it supports 3D and HDR. The best new price is $999 at Abt Electronics & Appliances as of November 4, 2026, with 8 stores listing it new. That $999 sits at the low end of what this model has sold for recently, so it is a fair time to buy.
