    Hi irishgrover,

    Thanks for the post!

    Upgrading from the Optoma HD14X to a 4K projector would definitely be worth it as not only will get get a better image resolution but improved motion and colour.

    If you're looking for a good one around that budget I would recommend the Optoma UHD38 at 1199 euro! It's a fantastic, high spec'd projector with a much higher contrast ratio than the HD142X and better brightness. It's a great upgrade over your current projector:

    Let me know what you think!

    Kind regards

    David
