About the Optoma EH503 DLP Projector

The Optoma EH503 is a short-throw DLP projector with native 1080p resolution and 5,200 lumens of brightness. That light output suits large rooms, classrooms and conference halls where ambient light is hard to control, and the short throw lets it sit close to the screen. Its 2,000:1 contrast ratio is modest for a projector at this price, so black levels will look gray in dark rooms. The best new price is $2,135.99 at Crawfords Superstore as of November 3, 2026, and only one store lists it new, so there is little price competition to push it lower.

  • Only one store lists it new, so no price competition
  • Bulky and heavy for portable use
  • Older model with limited HDMI inputs and no 4K
  • What reviewers say

    Owner feedback on the EH503 is thin, but reports on Optoma's high-brightness short-throw line are consistent: strong light output and easy close-range setup, with black levels and fan noise as the usual complaints.

    Pros
    • Bright image holds up with room lights on
    • Short throw simplifies mounting in small rooms
    • Reliable lamp-based operation for fixed installs
    Cons
    • Blacks look washed out in dark rooms
    • Fan noise audible in quiet settings
    • Lamp replacement adds long-term cost

    Questions and answers

    Is the EH503 worth it at $2,135.99?
    It is a reasonable buy if you need 5,200 lumens and a short throw for a bright room. At that price you are paying for brightness, not contrast or modern features like 4K.
    How does it compare with a 4K projector?
    4K models at similar prices are dimmer and usually long throw. The EH503 wins on light output and close-range placement but loses on resolution and contrast.
    How close to the screen does it need to be?
    As a short-throw unit it can fill a large screen from a few feet away, which helps in small rooms. Check Optoma's throw-distance chart for your exact screen size before mounting.
    Does it have built-in speakers?
    It has a small onboard speaker for basic audio, but plan on external speakers or a sound system for anything beyond a test tone.
    What is in the box?
    Expect the projector, power cable, remote and basic documentation. Cables and a mount are usually sold separately.
    When is it cheapest?
    With only one store listing it new, discounts are unlikely. Watch for seasonal sales at Crawfords Superstore rather than expecting broad price drops.
