Designed for gaming. Short lag time. 1080p native resolution. Short throw. 3D with HDMI.

Displays rainbow artifacts. Shows posterization in its brightest mode.

If you're planning to set up your projector in a room where you don't need a short-throw lens to avoid shadows, you can save some money by getting the Optoma HD26, which offers a similar design and capabilities—including a short lag time—but with a...

The Optoma GT1080's tendency to posterize live and recorded video with its brightest predefined modes may limit how bright an image you can use for video. However, the projector doesn't have the same problem with data images, filmed content, or games....

Low input lag ; Plenty of picture customisation ; Decent value

I bought this projector after initially intending to purchase the Optoma HD141X, which is a couple hundred cheaper, but decided to splurge when I saw that this projector advertised a contrast ratio 25% higher. The throw distance is variable without...

0 zoom functionality. You can change the aspect ratio to set sizes but a slider or knob for fine tuning your screen size would be much appreciated, and even the instruction booklet it comes with says that there is one, but alas, online I discovered...

Great picture and black levels. Surpassed my expectations and alot more vivid and bright than my previous hd20. Sound was good as well

A little difficult to setup and no zoom on this projector
