Our take on the Optoma Short Throw Full HD 1080p Laser Projector

This is a 1080p DuraCore laser projector built for big pictures in small rooms. Its short throw lens fills a 100-inch screen from roughly 4 feet, and 3,600 lumens keeps the image usable with some ambient light. Low input lag (8.4ms at 1080p 120Hz) and a dedicated Golf Sim mode make it a fit for gaming and simulator setups. Against lamp-based short throw rivals it trades native 4K and built-in streaming for laser longevity and low lag; reviewers rate it highly for brightness and setup, less so for black levels and onboard audio.

What reviewers say

Owners and reviewers praise the brightness, short throw setup and low lag, and many use it for golf simulators. Complaints center on black levels, fan noise in bright mode and the lack of smart features.

What people mention

  • Short throwPraisedReviewers like filling a large screen from a few feet away, ideal for small rooms.
  • Black levelsCriticisedDark scenes look gray rather than deep black, so it is not a dedicated theater pick.

  • Fan noiseMixedSome find the fan noticeable in bright mode, quieter in Eco.
  • Smart featuresCriticisedNo streaming apps built in; buyers add a stick or box.
