the focus ring on my uhd50x feels loose and the image won't stay sharp, it drifts blurry.

Quick answer: The mechanical focus mechanism has worn or become uncalibrated, a known issue with some units after extensive use or temperature swings.

Diagnosis

The mechanical focus mechanism has worn or become uncalibrated, a known issue with some units after extensive use or temperature swings.

How to Fix It

There is no user-serviceable fix for a physically loose focus ring. You must contact Optoma support for repair or replacement under warranty.

If That Didn't Work

As a temporary workaround, once you achieve focus, avoid touching the projector and do not use the lens shift feature, as it can disturb the focus position.

Heads Up

Continually adjusting a loose focus ring can damage the internal lens elements, leading to permanent blur or misalignment.
