Out of the box, the Optoma UHD52ALV offers accurate enough color for all those but the most critical. And at $1,799, it's an easy recommendation for it's intended use-case: a family room with ambient light.Read more
Optoma has given its media-savvy living room projector a brightness boost.

Particularly if their remote controls don't have any backlighting. Optoma's UHD52ALV delivers a solution to this eternal PJ problem: voice recognition. Plug in a supplied USB Wi-Fi dongle, and provided you have an Amazon Alexa or Google Home listening device, and the patience to set everything up, you can issue the projector with basic verbal instructions.Read more
