For a light cannon apparently capable of pumping out 4000 ANSI Lumens of brightness, the Optoma UHD38 is surprisingly small. Its squarish footprint fits easily on typical sofa-side coffee table – though it’s slightly heavier, taller and more robustly built than most ‘casual’, living room projectors.
