Optoma GT2000HDR Ultra-Compact Short Throw Full HD Home Laser Projector

I built a golf simulator in my basement last year, and after a lot of research, landed on this projector as the best option. I needed something that would put up with hours of continuous use and had a short throw. After using it for more than a year and probably thousands of hours here's why I would give it a five-star rating. Bright and clear picture When setting up a golf simulator, you need to be in a room with some light so you can see the ball. I worried that a projector would struggle to provide a bright image in this environment. That is not been the case for this projector. It always appears bright and crystal clear even in a room with a lot of ambient light. I've also been impressed with the clarity of the picture. We use it to watch movies and videos from time to time and it really does feel high definition. Easy of Use It couldn't be simpler to use. The remote is easy to operate and even my 12-year-old can go down and confidently operate the projector and golf simulator. It was also very simple to hook up with an HDMI cable out the back of the projector running straight to our iPad. I also found the Keystone adjustments to be easy to work with. It got pretty close to what I needed on its own and I was able to fine-tune things manually. I never read an instruction manual, and everything turned out to be so easy. Performance over long hours of use My two sons are competitive golfers who play tournaments almost year-round. So, I can confidently say we are users of our golf simulator. Sometimes the projector has to run for six or eight hours a day. Even with that we've never seen overheating issues or had any problems with performance. It simply works all the time every time. Summary All that being said, I can't find anything that I would take a star off my rating for. We've truly been happy and I was surprised at how affordable the projector was when we purchased it. So, if you're specifically looking for a projector for a golf simulator or even a home theater situation wherea short throw is important. I would highly recommend checking this one out. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I purchased the Optoma GT2000HDR specifically for my golf simulator setup, and it has exceeded my expectations in every way. The short throw feature is perfect for smaller spaces, allowing me to get a large, clear image even when the projector is placed close to the screen. The 1080p resolution with 4K HDR input delivers incredibly crisp visuals, making my golf simulation experience feel highly immersive and realistic. At 3,500 lumens, the brightness is more than adequate, even in a room with ambient light. I’ve been impressed by how well the colors and details hold up, providing excellent contrast and clarity during both daytime and nighttime sessions. The low input lag is also a huge bonus for maintaining smooth, responsive play, which is especially important for golf simulators where timing and accuracy matter. The compact design makes it easy to set up and position, and I appreciate that it doesn’t take up much space. Also, because this projector uses a laser, it produces a lot less heat than traditional projectors. Overall, this projector has been a great investment for my setup, offering fantastic performance for a projector in this price range. If you’re looking for something that can handle both home theater use and interactive applications like golf simulators, this projector is definitely worth considering.

Year later this thing is working as it should. I used it for my in home golf simulator and its gotten hit with a ball or 2 and is still staying strong. Great picture!

So disappointed. I was on The fence with this projector and this but a nail on the coffin. Was attaching it to a ceiling mount and after I got everything where I need it to be put the projector up and then the threaded insert popped out. I wasn’t thrilled with the set up menu and no zoom made it very difficult to find the right spot. Doesn’t matter now anyway. Don’t buy this or any optoma projector. UPDATED If this is your first time using or setting up a projector it may be frustrating. Like most manufacuters no user guide is shipped with the product. My problem was 1st, using the wrong holes for the ceiling mount. 2nd issue I ran into was trying to find the right spot using the test screen. My screen in 103"X137" or there about 4:3 aspect ratio. I also used the mounting height I found on the optoma website but that seemed to be just an estimation. After I got the correct height from the ceiling and conected to my PC and the screen was in 4:3 almost like magic I had an options menu where I could use the Vertical an Horizontal keystone with corner adjustments to get my picture almost perfect. If I get the 30,000 hrs advertised on the Laser projector I would recomend only time will tell

The picture quality and brightness are really good. Also, it does provide a good picture on a 100”+ screen at 5 to 6 feet away. Make sure you read the measurements before purchasing because if you may need a standard throw because the digital zoom feature does affect the picture. My main issues with this projector is the actual performance and the remote control. For the remote to work you have to be extremely close and have to press the buttons really hard for it to work. When setting it up while mounting to the ceiling this becomes very frustrating since the menu times out after a few seconds. Also, I’ve had a lot of issues with it freezing up and dropping the signal. I’ve tried multiple HDMI cables but it did not resolve the issue. I’m very surprised because I spoke with several people who use this for a golf simulator and they all said they would rate it 5 stars.

Works fantastic with my home golf simulator! Worth every penny!

The projector seem decent. Just be aware it will not project 4k. It says it supports 4k but in reality it allows 4k input but 1080p output. Very disappointed in that. It's deciving. I only started using it but bought it 11 months ago. Pay attention to the wording. I would not have bought it if it didn't say supports 4k. Kind of pointless to buy something that downgrades the image being sent to it.

For our tradeshows we are trying video rather than a fixed backwall. We did quite a bit of research before deciding on this projector. We were able to place it about fout feet from the screen, on one of the booth tables. I am amazed the image on the screen is nice and square and image quality is good in a lit trade show space.

I installed the Optoma GT200HDR in my golf simulator and it works perfectly. It replaced an older 3000 lumen projector and the difference was remarkable. The GT2000 HDR is very bright and even with additional ambient lighting. It was extremely easy to set up and the projected image is as bright and clear as the television set that is connected to the gaming computer. The Optishot Nova launch monitor which is connected to the Orion video software allows this projector to display the most realistic images of the golf courses that I have ever experienced. An excellent projector for a golf simulator.

Muy bien excelente calidad

Works excellent for my golf Sim.

Was so excited for newly announced compact Laser Projector GT2000HDR 2023 model. With impressive 30,000 Hrs life. BUT when I turned it on for first time, colors was so dull, then I thought this will be some setting issue. Spent 1 hour figuring it out by changing all the option, from HLG to Cinema, sports and vivid modes. Nothing worked, colour was dull and distorted. COLOR CHANGING OPTION WAS NOT EVEN ACCESSIBLE AS IT WAS GREYED OUT AND I CANT EVEN SELECT THAT OPTION. Above all the remote is so tiny and buttons were so tiny that I ended up having pain in my finger tips and thumb. Be Aware this doesn't have Backlite remote as other models. Above all it doesn't even came with instructions Manual. I returned it the next day.
