Our take on the Optoma ZK451ST-B 4K Short Throw Laser Projector

The Optoma ZK451ST-B is a 4K UHD short throw laser projector rated at 4,100 lumens. It throws a large image from close to the wall, so it suits golf simulators, home theaters and meeting rooms where the projector sits near the screen. The DuraCore laser light source is rated for up to 30,000 hours with no lamps to replace, and instant on/off skips warm-up and cool-down. Against lamp-based short throw models it wins on upkeep and startup speed; against premium home theater projectors it gives up some black level and color accuracy, and its built-in audio is basic.

What reviewers say

Owners and reviewers treat this class of Optoma short throw laser projector as a dependable workhorse for golf simulators and bright rooms. They praise the brightness, sharp 4K image and lamp-free running, and note that contrast and built-in sound are the weak points.

What people mention

  • Image sharpnessPraisedReviewers describe crisp 4K detail even on very large screens.
  • Laser upkeepPraisedThe long laser life and instant on/off are cited as reasons to skip lamp-based projectors.
  • ContrastCriticisedDark scenes look washed out next to home theater projectors with deeper blacks.
  • SoundCriticisedThe built-in speaker is seen as adequate for speech but weak for movies.
  • SetupMixedShort throw placement is convenient, but getting the image square and focused takes patience.
