RICOH PJ UHL3660: Versatile 4K Ultra Short Throw Projector

The new RICOH PJ UHL3660 projector, launched by PFU America, Inc., brings 4K ultra short throw capabilities to a range of professional settings. Designed to meet diverse presentation and media needs, this projector integrates Ricoh’s renowned lens technology to deliver a highly adaptable solution for businesses, museums, and entertainment venues alike. Here’s a closer look at what makes the UHL3660 stand out and how it’s set to enhance visual experiences in various spaces.

High-Quality 4K Visuals with Ultra Short Throw Technology

A key feature of the UHL3660 is its ability to project large, clear images from extremely close distances. Leveraging Ricoh’s patented ultra short throw lens technology, this projector offers a throw ratio of 0.24, meaning it can project an 85-inch image from just one centimeter away. This proximity opens up creative placement possibilities, whether it’s a small boardroom or a bustling museum. With 4K UHD resolution achieved via 4-way pixel shift, the projector provides a high level of detail that suits presentations requiring sharp visuals and clarity. Additionally, HDR mode enhances contrast for compatible content, giving images a lifelike quality that’s noticeable across large screen sizes ranging from 85 to 160 inches.

Brightness, Efficiency, and Long-Term Use

In many professional settings, ambient lighting can challenge a projector’s brightness and clarity. The UHL3660 addresses this with a powerful 6,500 lumens, ensuring that images remain vibrant even in well-lit environments. Alongside its high brightness, Ricoh’s OptiBright technology improves efficiency, enhancing light output while keeping power consumption low. This energy-conscious design doesn’t just reduce operational costs—it also extends the lifespan of the projector to an impressive 40,000 hours. For users looking for a long-term, low-maintenance solution, the UHL3660 promises durability without compromising image quality.

Flexible Installation and Connectivity Options

One of the highlights of the UHL3660 is its flexibility in installation. It can be mounted at any angle with 360-degree mounting options, allowing for customized placements that cater to the room’s layout. For larger displays, the projector offers multi-image blending, where two units can combine their outputs into a seamless, expansive visual. Additionally, portrait projection support makes it ideal for unique setups, such as digital signage in public spaces.

Connectivity is another area where the UHL3660 shows versatility. It includes HDMI 2.0 and HDBaseT connectivity options, as well as Miracast compatibility for wireless projection with Windows and Android devices. This flexibility in connection methods allows the projector to integrate with various devices, adding to its convenience for professional use. The UHL3660 also features multiple keystone and geometric correction options, including H/V keystone, six-point adjustments, and specialized image modes, making it suitable for non-traditional or complex screen setups.

Built for Reliability in Challenging Conditions

Beyond image quality and flexibility, the UHL3660 is built to handle demanding environments. Its dust-proof design meets IP6X standards, protecting it from particles that could impact performance. This dust-proofing eliminates the need for regular filter changes, keeping maintenance low. With an advanced cooling system, the projector can operate in temperatures up to 113° F, making it a resilient choice for a wide variety of spaces. This robust design speaks to its durability and reliability, especially in settings where projectors need to run consistently or for extended periods.

The RICOH PJ UHL3660 will be available in the U.S. through PFU America’s channel and AV reseller partners. With its blend of flexibility, high-quality visuals, and reliability, it represents a strong option for users seeking a powerful, low-maintenance 4K projection solution. Whether it’s for a corporate presentation, an immersive exhibit, or digital signage, the UHL3660 offers a compelling array of features tailored to demanding professional environments.
