Anyway, about the reason I returned it: The on-screen menus would show a fuzzy, double text with a 4K 60Hz input signal. I have heard that this is a problem with something inside called an actuator. At 4K 24Hz, the menus were very sharp. I thought maybe I could live with this issue if it was the only thing, but...
The 2 HDMI inputs: only one is HDCP 2.2 complaint. I need two.
The S/PDIF output is only 2 channel audio. I wanted to send a ROKU streaming stick plus audio back to my HT receiver through optical output, but I'd only get 2 channel audio.
Also, many times during my trying to like this unit, it would try searching and connecting to the sources I had connected. I tried several full speed, 18Gbps cables, 3 feet, 6 feet, made no difference.
I thought I would update the firmware as maybe that would help. Optoma does not easily support firmware updates through USB as some of the other companies do.
Summary, did not want to take another chance on the UHD50. I'm going to spend a few more bucks and pick up the Benq HT3550. Longer warranty by 2 years, USB upgradeable.
This one came in excellent packaging and I was extremely happy to set it up, but when I did, the picture wasn’t as clear and the focus sweet spot was so small that it couldn’t even compare to my current 143x model.
I had to return this product for another. I couldn’t justify paying this amount for something that my 143c would do a better performance.
The only minor issues I have with it are that it is noisier than the projector I'm upgrading from (a PT-AE2000U), and doesn't have the kind of placement flexibility and zoom that my previous projector did. But at this price level, I think this really is a very nice, affordable projector that allows you to truly appreciate 4k content in a way that you simply can't with smaller tv screens. Very happy with my purchase so far.

Pierde la señal de forma aleatoria sin importar si escoges 4k a 30hz o 60hz así como a resolución 1080 y no regresa hasta que lo reinicias lo cual toma al menos dos minutos para encontrarte con el mismo problema.
Algunas veces no prendía e indicaba que necesita cambio de lámpara.
Nota: use el cable hdmi incluido así como uno especial de alta velocidad e incluso uno de fibra óptica. Para ver si esto remediaba el problema. En verdad quería que me gustará este proyector y trate de eliminar errores porque se ve hermoso el hdr 4k.
Sin embargo encontré en reseñas que algunas de estas unidades tiene problemas por lo que pedí mi reembolso y le daré una oportunidad a benq con el ht2050a. Adiós 4k por ahora.
Amazon me regreso el dinero en 10 días. En verdad este proyector se ve hermoso. Si no eres tan desesperado como yo y puedes esperar un mes por si sale mal te lo recomiendo ciegamente.

Then, suddenly, it started making a very loud whirring/hum noise.
This is shown in the video I have uploaded.
I saw there is a 1-year warranty so I reached out to customer service and an RMA was created for me.
I sent the projector across the country to Optoma (a $100 shipping fee with package insurance).
After a week I checked the status and saw these RMA notes:
Found: NOISE (CAUSED BY FAN, COLOR WHEEL OR OTHERS)
Repair: DEFECTIVE PARTS OR MODULE, REPLACE DEFECT PARTS OR MODULE
Found: OLD VERSION
Repair: IMPLEMENT TB/RM TO UPGRADE HARDWARE
A few more days went by and I received the "repaired" projector, but it was making the exact same noise.
I reached out to the same customer service rep and he explained that all UHD50 and UHD51A models make this noise because of the 4k Actuator.
The parts that were "repaired" during the RMA had nothing to do with the the noise being created by the actuator.
He kept repeating that this level of noise is normal.
Even with my 5.1 surround stereo on, everyone watching is annoyed by the noise from the projector.
Don't buy this projector unless you want to hear this constant hum with no possibility of repair, even though you are still under warranty.
I will never buy another Optoma product.
Update: Projector began flickering 6 months into use to the point that it's unwatchable. Sent back to Optoma for RMA for $100 at my own expense, only to be told that I'd need to spend another $200 to replace the bulb and complete the repair. They offered to send it back without a bulb also. Extremely disappointed in Optoma for the poor support of their own brand new products. Goes without saying that I shouldn't have to spend $300 to fix something that was purchased brand new for >$1500.
I've owned a Acer H7850 (4K), Epson 2040, and an Epson 3500.
Of comparable projectors to this one I would slot it ahead of the BENQ HT2550, mostly due to the addition of Vertical Offset.
Setup is straightforward, the menus are simple and easy to understand. While both HDMI ports are HDMI 2.2 compliant I had issues with HDMI 1 vs HDMI 4K.
In the manual it shows a picture to hook up video game systems, Blu-ray players, cable boxes...etc. to HDMI 1 [It also shows to hook up cell phones (via MHL HDMI cable) to HDMI 4K]. However I had issues with my Roku Ultra and my XBOX One X with HDMI. Both devices would only recognize the projector as compatible up to 4k30Hz without HDR compatibility. I almost returned the product immediately upon discovering this. I unplugged the HDMI cable and plugged it in to HDMI 4K. That remedied the issue and both devices saw the projector as 4k60Hz HDR compatible.
The Good:
-4K HDMI sync. The projector will flash to recognize a source if the source material switches from 720p to 1080p to 4K or to HDR, but once it has it's resolution it is locked in. This was an issue I had with the Acer and I've seen other people having issues with other 4K projectors. This one is solid!
-HDR auto mode is fantastic. It recognizes HDR and enables HDR mode with a little HDR symbol for a couple seconds in the top right.
-The size is great, not too big. Easily mounted to my ceiling, be aware of how close together the 3 mounting holes are...I had to get creative and take the front foot off and use the bigger screw in my mounting kit to get it to work.
-The color is outstanding, easily the richest color of any of the 4 projectors I've owned. The accuracy is about the best I've seen in a projector.
-RBE, or lack there-of. The RGBRGB wheel is much better than the wheel used in the Acer I tried.
The Ok:
-Picture Quality. I was really looking forward to an ultra sharp crisp 4K image. While this picture was really good, it wasn't as good as the Acer H7850 which I had returned due to sync and fan issues. I'm attributing the good not great 4K quality to the fact that this projectors TI chip does a 4X pixel shift vs the Acer's which did a 2X pixel shift. While both are technically showing 8.3 million pixels, the pixels on the UHD50 are bigger which might be taking a little away from the image. Again, the picture was really good, and had I not seen the larger TI chip's 4K (the UHD60 and UHD65 use that chip) I would've been more than satisfied.
-Noise. Not too loud, not the quietest I've heard either.
-Motion. Lack of Frame Interpolation does affect the image and I did see it as noticable. This is something that higher models have and I understand not including it in the UHD50 due to the low entry price of this 4K projector.
The Bad:
-Light around the image. There is a 3-6" (depending on your screen size, my screen is 120") empty light bleed around the entire image. I don't have black borders on my screen (I have specially finished and painted wall) and the light ring is noticing and distracting. The Acer I had had this on the top and bottom but it was much much smaller.
-Light bleed above projector. There is a bit of light that is above the projector on the ceiling, with a black ceiling in a dedicated home theater this probably is no big deal. In my room with a white ceiling, it was annoying.
Pros:
Picture is clear, clean, and bright enough for a dark room environment. Color is very nice in both HDR and SDR, and the detail forthe image is fantastic.
Cons
Black levels are decent but not as good as you would get on a tv or higher end projector but still very serviceable. I got so used to the black levels on OLED that I found it off putting when black areas look grey at points. But aside from that it was a really easy adjustment due to its pure beauty overall.
I still have to tweak it and get it right where I want but overall it is definetly worth the price and I enjoy the picture it does present.
Note, the lines in the picture are due to creased screen which I have since replaced and is not representative of the projector performance itself.
