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

Just understand what I did not. Short throw means you cant put your projector far away. That being said the picture is amazing, great for gaming, bright and clear. We all love it. No need for movie theaters anymore.

Weve enjoyed the projector, but it promised a long bulb life. We dont even use it daily and the bulb did after less than 9 months. The picture quality is good, just very disappointed in the life of a bulb that promised 15,000 his of lamp life.

Ive had 2 of these both which lasted less than a year before having to be hard reset just about everytime we start it. It wont find the source and the remote wont work then it just flashes a purple led error code which support had no idea what that meant.

I bought this Refurb elsewhere but thought I would leave a review here since I couldnt find much info before buying. I use a projector as my main display for everything including gaming. No other TV in my living room. I replaced my BenQ 1085st with this one. Was worried that it wouldnt be much of an impovement. Boy was I pleasantly surprised. The brightness and clarity is amazing. My benQ lost some focus in the corners not this one, perfect even focus. The colors pop. And its so bright I can watch with the lamp on low power setting with the lights on or a window exposed during the day. Im still in awe at how much better the image is. My only complaint was it requiring alot more space above the screen for ceiling mount. I would have had to lower my screen to 16 inches below the ceiling to mount it flat. I ended up having to tilt the projector on the mount and use keystone which I didnt want to do. Also the lack of zoom meant that placement had to be perfect, not easily done.

I bought an open-box (Like-New) projector, but they sent a very old version of it and it is not working too.

We use this projector at our church about 5 hrs per week in a permanent installation. It never gets moved or handled. After 18 months we got the flashing red indicator and cant even see error code. Changed the the bulb to the recommended one and still no luck. Stay away!

If youre looking for a projector that will blow your mind, look no further than the Optoma GT1090HDRx Short Throw Laser Home Theater Projector! Its the perfect choice for anyone who loves movies and wants to enjoy them at home in the best possible quality. The Optoma GT1090HDRx packs a punch with its 4K HDR input, which means youll get crisp, clear images that pop with vibrant colors. Plus, its super bright with 4,200 lumens, so you can watch movies any time of day or night without worrying about pesky glare. One of the coolest features of this projector is its short-throw lens. You can set it up in a small room and still get a huge, immersive picture that feels like youre in a theater. Its also really easy to set up with lots of input options like HDMI, USB, and VGA.

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!

Was hesitant about buying a projector. But this one was well worth the money. Viewable in my living room during the daylight hours, which was exactly what I wanted.

Bad ass Projector
