“Alexa, Turn On Projector”

Optoma’s first 4K Ultra HD projector to feature Amazon Alexa voice control – the UHD51A – is now launched in the UK.

Available on Amazon UK for £1,549.99, the new projector offers the ultimate smart home entertainment solution with intuitive control along with 4K crystal clear detail in every image – bringing content to life on the big screen.

“Optoma is excited to be among the first brands to bring Alexa natively to 4K home entertainment projectors,” said Kishan Mistry, Senior Product Manager at Optoma EMEA. “With industry-leading projection technology coupled with Alexa, we’re enabling instant control for a movie or gaming session as users switch inputs, launch content, adjust the volume and more with their voice.”

In addition to Alexa support, the UHD51A comes equipped with a 4K UHD media player, a wireless USB dongle, USB reader and 2,400 lumens for vibrant big-screen entertainment. It boasts High Dynamic Range (HDR) compatibility, HDCP 2.2 support and includes stereo speakers that provide powerful audio.

Installation is simple with vertical lens shift for fuss free positioning and a host of connection options such as two HDMI 2.0 ports. The compact UHD51A with its stylish sleek black casing is also lightweight and easy to move around.

With full 8.3 million on-screen pixels, the new model meet the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) requirements for 4K UHD and comply with the CTA High Dynamic Range (HDR) compatible display standards. This guarantees razor sharp, vivid images capable of showing more details than standard HD.

Its sophisticated PureMotion frame-interpolation technology eliminates motion blur or image judder, even in high-speed action films or fast-paced sports.
