Know before you buy
Yes. The HD27HDR features HDMI 2.0 with HDCP 2.2, allowing it to accept 4K HDR signals. While the projector will downscale the image to its native 1080p resolution, it will still process the HDR metadata for improved color and contrast.
It is well-suited for gaming thanks to the enhanced HDR gaming mode, which provides a low input lag of 16ms. This ensures your inputs are responsive enough for most fast-paced titles.
With 3,400 ANSI lumens, this projector is bright enough to maintain a clear image in rooms with moderate ambient light. However, for the best HDR performance and deepest blacks, a darker room is still recommended.
Yes, it supports full 1080p 3D playback. You will need to purchase compatible 3D active shutter glasses separately to view 3D content.
The lamp is rated for up to 15,000 hours of use in its most efficient mode. This longevity significantly reduces the frequency of maintenance compared to standard projector lamps.
The projector features a 1.1x zoom and vertical keystone correction, which offers some flexibility for placement. However, because it has a fixed throw ratio of 1.48–1.62, you should measure your distance from the screen to ensure the image size fits your wall or screen correctly.
