Firstly, I wanted to say that I was not compensated to write this review. It is simply the result of my good experience with this projector over the last month. Also, I’ve had experience with 2 pevious projectors, the most recent being the Optoma EH415ST (which is also a decent 1080p projector) and 2 projectors I tried and returned. I really just wanted better, more accurate color and a way to show my 3D collection. I was sold on the Optoma short throw set up. It works perfect for me as I move my projector around. It isn’t as finnicky as the Ultra Short Throw projectors. For those you need an absolutely flat, fixed screen because they show every little imperfection. Believe me I tried. This Optoma short throw of 100 inches at about 4 feet is thankfully, more forgiving. And lastly, I’m not a gamer so I can’t speak to the input lag and all that. But I imagine it would be a very good experience. Setting up: It’s pretty intuitive. I have yet to look at the manual or even the quick setup card. You turn it on, plug in your roku, firestick, bluray player or whatever in HDMI 1 and get familiar with settings you prefer. Pretty simple. Even a Caveman could do it. There was no substantial lens cap on mine. It came with a clam shell cover that was taped on. Remote: I got a small remote….like roku small with a lot of little buttons. Luckily, my old, larger remote works with this projector and is easier to work. You can buy these on amazon for a reasonable price. Brightness and Daylight viewing: Hey, it’s a laser light! It has a very long lifespan and It’s super bright. For me, it stays in ECO mode and I find myself turning down the brightness. I’m including a photo of the screen with a couple of window shades up. It will still produce a decent image. And you can adjust for this by choosing a different mode and tweaking settings. I think it would do a very good job in a conference room in presentation mode. At night, I can have a lamp or 2 on with very little degradation of the image.. Also, I turn my projector on and off a lot. I think the laser is a better choice for this. Color and image quality: This projector has rich, accurate color and produces, what are sometimes, eyepopping whites and colors. I found that the best setting for this is the Cinema mode. It seems to do a great job with whatever it does with 4k and HDR input and produces beautiful images. Black levels are very good. Maybe not as good as a OLED tv, but it’s better than my LG 4k flat screen. Here are some of my settings for the Cinema mode: I leave dynamic range, or HDR on auto. Brightness, contrast and color can be zero…. Or -4 brightness and +4 color. In the color group, Brilliant color goes on the blue side at the low end and green at the top. I leave it in the middle at 5. For Gamma I leave it at standard. I do find the Cinema mode is on the blue side with temperature set at Cold…. I adjust this with +5 for Tint. Or you can adjust the color temperature. Pretty simple. You’re mostly adjusting the brightness and color as you go from media to media. I also spent time with the RGB mode. It’s preset very warm and on the green side. You can adjust with tint and color temp. Whites aren’t as brilliant, but this can be easier on the eyes. I tend to have sharpness turned up all the way but it depends on the media. Older films that are lower resolution copies can benefit from turning down it down. Random: I watched the movie Speed Racer last night. My gosh, what an eyecandy extravaganza! Looked fantastic! 3D viewing: It’s good, nice color but you still see roughness in action. Optoma touts the 120 hz support as being helpful with 3D, but I believe this only applies to a game console or computer. Correct me if I’m wrong. I was pleasantly surprised that once you switch to 3D mode, you can still adjust image settings. I’ll keep playing with that. Photos: I’ve included some photos….not really for close inspection. Just snaps I took from my couch with my phone mainly to show color. And my first screen was screwed up at the top. The real thing is better with proper keystone, color and sharpness. All in all, I think Optoma hit a sweet spot here. A laser projector that produces a beautiful, cinematic image as good or better than a movie theater and support for 4k and HDR input. If you have the bucks and the short throw works for you, give it a try! ... show more

    • RATED ONLINE AS THE BEST OUTDOOR/BACKYARD MOVIE PROJECTOR!
Style: 3800 Lumens/4K HDR Input + Lowest Input Lag
My use case for this wasn't gaming despite this unit being heavily marketed to gamers. I read a review online that placed this unit as the best all-around outdoor/backyard movie projector. I agree, it is, it's FANTASTIC. You can buy projectors with even more brightness (I have seen 6000 lumens for $2,800, but I'm a flashlight nerd and can tell you the difference between this units 3800 lumens and 6000 lumens isn't as much as you think. In other words, the juice isn't worth the squeeze.) After doing some research I found out that you want a SHORT THROW projector like this one for outdoor inflatable movie screens. The reason for this is because this unit will put up a 120 inch image at just 4 feet! The closer the projector is to the screen, the brighter it is. I paired this with my 20 foot Khomo Gear inflatable movie screen and the results were MAGICAL. We watched Star Wars (A New Hope), Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and The Empire Strikes Back. The projector produces beautiful deep blacks and rich blues, greens, and reds. My backyard movie setup has the projector sitting BEHIND my inflatable screen instead of in front of it (it's a 2-way projection screen). Typically this configuration requires more light since the light needs to penetrate through the cloth screen. This projector had zero problems doing this at greater than 15 feet away! It's a legit 3800 lumens and looks really good. You get what you pay for. Don't believe what people tell you about buying a cheap projector for your backyard movie watching. I bought a GooDee (they measure brightness in lux which is a marketing trick, you need lumens) and was very disappointed with the picture. This is because the GooDee and similar projectors aren't short throw projectors and don't produce the necessary lumens you'll need for a great picture (let alone the resolution). If you want the cheap 1970s drive-in feel, the GooDee is fine, but any nice high definition movie will need a projector of this specification at a minimum to produce an acceptable outdoor image. You can find many projectors that kill this one too, but for the money, I can't recommend it enough. ... show more

    • Short Throw and Excellent Brightness
Style: GT2100HDR (Latest Model, 1080p, Laser, 4...
I needed a short throw projector for business purposes where our conference table was 5' away from a 10' wide conference room wall, and the room is about 50' long. The room is lit, but not bright, like walking into Starbucks. The brightness is very good and the projector is configured to use a level down in brightness (80%?) to improve the laser light source longevity and color. You can view a spreadsheet reasonably well from the back of the room if Excel is zoomed to about 150% (est 18pt font equivalent). I bought a $60 foam pick case from HarborFreight to carry the projector, ac adapter, cables, and a speakerphone puck. The projector would be improved if it - supported network casting - had a 2X zoom - had horizontal keystone correction - was smaller like the Dangbei Atom - cheaper (ouch!) At the time of the purchase, there weren't many affordable, short throw projectors available. The Optima isn't perfect, but meets my basic requirements satisfactorily. I would buy it again. ... show more
