Review: Great Cinematic projector! - 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 desertcart 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! Review: Don't Buy This - Don't buy this projector. Only has digital zoom. No user manual. Only a quick setup insert with TINY, TINY print. Optoma does not have manuals online for this projector. The manuals they have are for similar models. The Optoma website is impossible to navigate. Setup is finicky and cumbersome. Supposed to be 4200 lumens. Picture washes out in very low room lighting. Annoying bleed over of light around picture. Vertical sides of picture are not straight. Keystone is very hard to get right. Very frustrating customer experience. Recommend buy a different brand because their documentation is so bad. Lesson: Always download and read manual before buying. ## Features - DEPENDABLE LASER LIGHT SOURCE: DuraCore laser light source eliminates lamp and filter replacements for up to 30, 000 hours of low-cost and virtually maintenance-free operation; IPX6 dust resistance rating ensures optical engine durability.Environmental conditions : Operating in 5~40°C , 10% to 85% humidity (non-condensing). - SHORT THROW LENS: The GT1090HDRx is designed to be placed closer to the wall than standard throw projectors. Experience a large 120" image projected from 4'-4" away. It's great for smaller spaces and allows for easier installation. - 4K HDR INPUT: HDR10 and HLG technologies enable brighter whites and deeper black levels for an enhanced viewing experience - LIGHTS-ON VIEWING: With an incredible 4,200 Lumens of brightness, you can use your GT1090HDRx day or night.

NVIDIA vision, AiseeSoft, etc there are a few ways to do this with several different setups. **Q: Are you able to view this projector in a daylight room, such as a business meeting? Or does it need to be viewed in a dimly lit room?** A: Honestly. All projectors should be used in a dim lit room. It depends on size of image. You want a 60" or 120". 120" no 60" i think you could get away with it. **Q: Cuántos lúmenes ansi ofrece este equipo, me explico lúmenes ansi es muy diferente a lúmenes totales o en general?** A: Dear Optoma Customer, We measure our projector's brightness in ANSI Lumens, the GT1080HDR is rated at 3800 lumens. If you have any further questions, please contact Optoma technical support at 888-289-6786 Monday - Friday 6 AM - 5 PM PST for further assistance. **Q: What is the native resolution? Could i mount on ceiling to point down and project for cutting sewing projects.** A: Dear Optoma Customer, This is a native 720p projector, meaning 1280x720.
