Optoma has announced the launch of the CinemaX P2 ultra-short throw projector, the successor to last year's famous CinemaX P1, and while the new model is just as expensive as its predecessor, it does come with some upgrades that could be worth your while. barely. Optoma doesn't deserve any praise for its naming conventions (what's that "X" doing?), but it does know how to make a high-end projector, and the CinemaX P2 is no different. With 3000 lumens of brightness, laser projection, and ultra-short-throw technology, to make sure it can be placed close to a wall, it doesn't skimp on capability. As with the P1 model, you get much better audio performance than your average 10W projector speaker, with a 40W Dolby Digital soundbar built right into the projector. On top of that, you'll find Alexa and Google Assistant compatibility, as well as enhanced gameplay designed to appeal to console gamers. However, it should be noted that the 67,1ms input lag (for HD sources) cannot compete with sub-10ms gaming TVs and purpose-built gaming monitors. Optoma tells us that the P2 model offers "25% better contrast and vibrant color performance" compared to the P1. it also seems to have taken a leaf out of Samsung's book The Frame with an art platform called FRAMED, which allowed users to display digital artwork on their projector when not looking at or reading to others. content. At €3,299, it's certainly priced higher, though you can expect decent performance in turn; check out our Optoma CinemaX P1 review to see what we thought of its predecessor.
