Know before you buy
Yes, it supports 4K120p input, which provides smooth motion for high-end gaming consoles and PCs. When combined with the dedicated Low Latency Mode, it significantly reduces input lag for a more responsive experience.
Frame Adapt HDR analyzes HDR10+ content frame-by-frame to optimize brightness and contrast in real time. This ensures that dark scenes maintain detail while bright highlights remain vibrant, preventing the image from looking washed out or overly dark.
Installation is straightforward thanks to the motorized zoom, focus, and lens shift, which allow you to fine-tune the image position precisely from your seat. Additionally, the built-in auto-calibration function helps you maintain optimal image quality over time.
With 1,900 lumens of brightness, this projector performs best in a dedicated, light-controlled home theater room. While it can handle some ambient light, you will get the best contrast and color accuracy in a darkened environment.
Yes, the DLA-NP5 is 3D ready and supports wireless 3D transmission. You will need compatible active shutter 3D glasses and a 3D-capable emitter to view 3D content.
The 65mm all-glass lens provides superior light transmission and sharpness across the entire screen. Glass is more resistant to heat-induced distortion than plastic, ensuring the image remains crisp and clear even during long movie marathons.
