Review: I have owned projectors now for over 20 yrs...I purchased this to replace the GT1080 short throw 2016 model...although this is still a 1080p projector..I am very impressed with the increased brightness and contrast ratio improvement...3D movies really pop with more colour vibrancy and clarity...great upgrade...FYI Installation will require precision placement to fit screen...I used lasers to mark center of screen and transfered lines on both floor and ceiling...place projector with mount on floor and aligned edges within screen..marked mount holes on floor and then using laser transfered to ceiling... keeping center of lens on center of line... patience is key when installing short throw projector
Review: I'm particularly sensitive to any sort of input delay, and even used a high refresh rate camera to try to detect any noticeable delay between my laptop running at 144hz with 1ms delay and this projector. It truly works as advertised, and if used with a PC you'll experience lower input latency than you would with a standard TV (or even a decent gaming monitor) with a console. Picture looks great indoors and outdoors, it really only meets acceptable levels for use outdoors around sunset give or take about 15 minutes depending on where it's being used. Things to know: This is truly an extremely short throw, if you're not using a ceiling mount, you either need a relatively tall and high projector screen or you need to keep it a few inches from the ground. Do not tip the projector itself. This projector puts out a LOT of heat in a relatively short amount of time but does not noticeably increase in heat after the first few minutes. You're going to want an external speaker. I did not buy this intending to use the built-in speaker, and it was not loud enough to easily hear quieter dialogue in movies even while indoors while watching with just one other person. This isn't the most adjustable projector in the world, but again, the bang for your buck is fantastic if you're looking to put in just a little effort making sure you've set it up correctly and keep in mind some of its inherent quirks. You're going to want a ceiling mount for the sake of the device and to use it to its full ability. I don't have one currently because I intend to use it in multiple places and I'm renting my home and can't put one in. For your money, this is probably one of the best all-around projectors, especially if you intend to play games competitively either online or with friends. I've had no problems playing Marvel Vs Capcom, Overwatch, Tekken 7, or Super Smash Bros Ultimate.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this optoma gt1080hdr projector play 2d movies in 3d?**
A: YES!!!.........you have to be smart enough to look for conversion software, dont listen to everything you read on the comments and do some research for yourself, dont listen to this either, do your own research.  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.**

*by W***S on 15 August 2020*

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 didn't look great but I've 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 it's blown up over 200 inches ( I ran out of wall to go bigger). Right now I'm 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 isn't loud. The remote works great and doesn't need to be aimed at anything to work. I'll never buy a tv again. Never.
