I'm a little confused - how does it do 4K@60Hz if its native resolution is 1080p?

Are we saying it can process a 4K image and downscale it to 1080p@60Hz, or that it uses XPR to achieve a "native" 4K resolution - in which case, isn't its native resolution 4K?

It's definitely not a 4K output. It's too cheap for that and it's also overpriced for a 1080p projector. That's some marketing bullsh*t to confuse people

They get 4K using pixel shifting technology which is what most 4K projectors use today. It projects 4 1080pm images to build a 4K image.
