Optoma
UHZ35ST
4K UHD laser short-throw with the fastest input lag in class (4.4ms) and a 30,000-hour laser engine — 50% longer life than the BenQ laser line. Includes a 'Golf Sim' picture mode preset. Fixed 0.50 throw means placement has to be exact; cross-shopped with the TK710STi for builders who also game.

Who this is for
Honest match per persona.
Good for
- Performance Seeker
Fastest 4K input lag in the segment (4.4ms) with a 30k-hour laser; brightness and longevity both at the top of the mid tier.
- Family Setup
4.4ms gaming response time + 4K + Golf Sim preset = the right mid-tier multi-use projector when the room games seriously.
- Space-Constrained
0.50 fixed throw fits tight rooms; same throw geometry as the GT2100HDR and AH500ST but in 4K.
Not for
- Cost-Effective Buyer
$1,449 is mid-tier money; the GT2100HDR delivers a budget answer for $1,299 if 4K is not essential.
- Recreational Player
Fixed throw with no zoom means inflexible placement; TK710STi or AH700ST are friendlier polished picks.
- Showroom
Brightness and feature set are mid-tier; LK936ST or AK700ST anchor showroom builds.
