Optoma Releases New CinemaX P2 UST 4K Laser Projector - 9/1/20 (1 Viewer)

[ProjectionHead]

It's official, Optoma has just announced the release of their new 4K UST Laser Projector, the CinemaX P2.

This new unit boasts a 2,000,000:1 dynamic contrsat ratio (compared to the 1,500,000 rating of the P1) and a 6 segment color wheel (compared to the 8 segment color wheel of the P1).

By omitting yellow from the wheel, the P2 is said to have more vivid colors than it's predecessor.

Also, this unit comes in white only as compared to the P1's black housing.

Launching at several hundreds of dollars less then the current P1 pricing, we expect this unit to be very popular.

I will have units in-hand tomorrow and plan on opening one up ASAP for a side-by-side with the P1.

* The P1 has been discontinued with no further units being produced and the P2 & CinemaX Pro as it's replacement options.

Curious how these UST laser FPs compare to similarly priced traditional FPs like the Epson 5050UB (and 6050UB) not to mention the next tier up JVC units...

I shouldn't actually need UST for my next FP purchase (for the new dedicated HT room), but having additional (good) options is definitely a good thing especially given the limited choices (and likelihood that any current choice won't be the last for the long haul, so the extra flexibility may be quite useful when the next big upgrade happens and this one might be used elsewhere)...
