Does the projector support full 3D formats?
Yes, the projector supports full 3D formats including Frame Sequential (PC), Frame Packing (Blu-ray), Side by side and Top & Bottom (streaming) 3D formats.
Why does the 4K DLP Technology produce a slight high frequency noise?
In order to create smooth 4K resolution images, True 4K DLP Technology utilizes high speed pixel displacement and the superimposition of pixels to produce the 8.3 million pixels seen by the viewer. An end result of this process is a degree of vibration that may results in a slight or unnoticeable high-frequency noise.
Do I need to replace the LED lamp of the projector?
There is no need to replace it during the normal usage lifetime of the projector. Because the projector uses an LED light source instead of a lamp, it can last for about 20,000~30,000 hours so there is no need to change it during the normal usage lifetime of the projector. If you want to change the lamp, please notice that LED replacement is not user-serviceable, please contact the service center to replace it.
