Optoma in addition has added in a ‘SDR [Standard Dynamic Range] to HDR’ conversion setting it says provides increased contrast, detail and colours to SDR Blu-rays.
However, with this setting enabled the image looks overcooked – and any upsurge in detail is difficult to create out. As such, we wouldn’t recommend using it.
There are two HDMI ports on the trunk of the UHD65 – one is HDCP2.2-compatible, so will support 4K HDR content – and two VGA connections (for computers), an ethernet port, a USB for powering streaming sticks, and a range of other connections that may control the projector through a home network and make it simple for custom installers to, well, install.

After making the most common adjustments regarding brightness and contrast so that it looks its best inside our room, we dive in to the more advanced settings.
We move the sharpness up several degrees to find the crispest detail out of your UHD65, and switch off the PureContrast, PureColour and UltraDetail settings.
We find the first two make the picture too intense, while UltraDetail brings unnatural sharpness and loses a number of the nuance along the way.
We put PureMotion onto its lowest setting, though, to create movements just a little smoother without looking unnaturally processed.
The UHD65 is smaller than you may expect for a 4K HDR projector, measuring around 50cm wide and around 30cm deep. The throw ratio comes out at 2.22:1, and the projector includes a claimed 1,200,000:1 contrast ratio with 2200 lumens via its bulb.
Zooming and focusing the lens is all manual, and you access the controls for these by popping open on a flap at the top of the projector.
It’s not really a particularly elegant design but, once installed, it’s unlikely to {frustrate you
