Final Verdict
Both are standard-throw 4K DLP home theater projectors in the $2,500-2,800 range. The UHZ50e is the gaming pick — a very fast input lag is exceptional for a home-theater-class unit — and it costs less. The W4100i is the color-accuracy pick: factory-calibrated with a stated 100% DCI-P3 gamut, 4-way lens shift for flexible mounting, Android TV built in, and it’s brighter. Fast competitive gaming: UHZ50e. Calibrated color accuracy and flexible mounting: W4100i.
