Optoma GT780 Short Throw Projector for Gaming & Movies | HD Ready 720p + 1080p Support | Bright 3800 Lumens for Lights-on Viewing | 3D-Compatible | Speaker Built In

With just few days and less than 20 hours of use (less than 3 hours in each use), two yellow heat stain appeared on the surface.

Problem using enhanced gaming mode with PlayStation 5. With the standard HDMI 2.0 / 4k output settings on PS5, projector doesnt recognize Enhanced Gaming mode (grayed out). If reducing PS5 settings to 1080p, projector recognizes Enhanced Gaming mode. Problem is the PS5 output then drops to HDMI 1.4, so I lose the 120hz (limited to 60hz gaming)! I tried turning off HDR also, but no dice. P.S. Noisy projector, lots of heat produced. But 3d movies look good.

The short throw is excellent for practical purposes. Its very easy to get a decent sized screen around the house. It downscales from 4K to 1080p but thats okay for now, since 4k projectors especially with short throw are limited and very expensive. The 4K input does improve video quality however, and the HDR is awesome to boot. Great lumens, throw distance, and picture quality make this an excellent projector. There are one caveat but at present shouldnt really matter all that much to most people: HDR will not work in 120hz Game mode. For me this is okay, as 60Hz is good enough for me in HDR, as most console titles max out at 60fps anyway.

Returned item. Did not function when received.

Best projector I have ever owned!!!!! Great for gaming speaker are pretty loud

Average Quality

Bad ass Projector

One of the most important things to know imo is that you cannot use keystone, zoom, image shift or edge masking while you have enhanced gaming mode turned on. This means you must physically place this projector in the perfect position in pretty much every way including height, in order to get a perfect rectangle picture (with enhanced gaming on). All that being said, this is an incredible projector if none of the above is an issue for you. Before this, I had a Dr J projector that I picked up for like $80 and as you can imagine, it didnt look great but Ive used it for months and it was a good bit of fun, but this easily looks 10x better than that, no exaggeration. This projector looks every bit as good as my 4 year old flat screen tv, even when its blown up over 200 inches ( I ran out of wall to go bigger). Right now Im just projecting on a normal painted textured wall in a living room with a very large window so just some cheap blinds controlling the ambient light and even with that it has outstanding quality. I would submit pictures or video but my phone is far lower quality than this projector and would only make this look worse than it does in reality. Sound works well enough but isnt loud. The remote works great and doesnt need to be aimed at anything to work. Ill never buy a tv again. Never.

This projector is great - even from close range, it can create a clear picture thats very large!

I had 4 projector that i thought where good projectors. boy was I wrong. First was a 800i projector. Then 3 1080P projectors including the YABER Y21 (the last toy projector). I thought the Yaber was every good but could not have any lights on. And the Yaber say the Y21 has 9000 Lumens and 8000: 1 contrast ratio. Neither of these statements are true. But this Optoma GT1080HDR is so much better. I can have the lights on and still looks damn good. and turn out the lights makes the image look like a TV. If your budget can swing a good projector I say leave the toy projectors alone and get a real projector.
