Is the ZU820T a true 4K projector?

No. Its native resolution is 1920x1200 WUXGA; it accepts 4K inputs and scales them down. Expect sharp WUXGA detail, not native 4K pixel count.

No. The spec sheet lists no HDR support, so HDR10 and Dolby Vision sources play in standard dynamic range.

How long does the laser light source last?

Optoma rates the laser-phosphor engine for roughly 20,000 hours or more, far beyond lamp projectors, with no lamp to replace.

Yes. It supports 3D playback, but you need compatible 3D glasses and a 3D source; glasses are not included.

One HDMI port, plus VGA and USB. There is no second HDMI, DisplayPort or HDBaseT, so plan sources and switching around that single HDMI.

It works, but it is built for large venues. The lack of HDR, single HDMI and manual lens make it less convenient than home-oriented projectors.
