are there 4k 120hz projectors?

[tommo123]

googled and found some but they seem to take in a 60hz signal and use interpolation or whatever to output 120hz.

Do any of them have DisplayPort 1.4 or HDMI 2.1? If not then the answer is no.

The only true 4k home projectors are made by Sony. None of them do it. Not sure about the $50k+ professional market though.

I wonder why we do not have true 4k consumer projectors yet. The tech is there but if you want a true 4k proj. you have to spends 1000's of $$

moved on now to a cheap 1080p till 4k comes down but optoma has the uhd60 and 65 pjs as well as a cheaper 550x which are 4k. 550x and uhd60 are under 2k US iirc. even the faux k ones aren't bad apparently.

Yeah that is cool I hadn't heard of this upcoming release. $2000 is a much better price and even though it is not native 4k they claim it's as good to the eye. We'll see. I'd rather be spending around $1200-$1500 myself.

i think it does put out the correct number of dots on screen so it is a proper 4k not faux-k. some are splitting hairs and their arguments would preclude a CRT from being "proper" whatever res due to every pixel not having a dedicated electron gun

For the general consumer no. Why? There's hardly any consumer entertainment beyond 24 (movies on film) much less 30FPS (video). The Hobbit was 48FPS and Billy Lynn was 120. Even digitally shot RED movies are still 24FPS. Regardless, the Billy Lynn on 4k BluRay was 60FPS and worked flawlessly on the xBox one. Too bad the movie itself was shockingly amateurish coming from a good director and great director of photography. It was like a bad afterschool special. -- Do they still have those?

for 120hz then for gaming. plus using svp for videos help artificially increase the frame rate which works quite well. i do wish movies would make the move to 48fps as standard. normal film is so juddery, even with smoothing
