Image properties
The device displays content in native Full HD resolution of 1920×1080 pixels with a native 16:9 aspect ratio. DLP technology creates sharp details with no visible pixel structure on the projection surface. Users can also set the aspect ratio to 4:3 or 16:10 formats depending on the source being projected. HDR compatibility support helps display a wide spectrum of detail and textures. The projector also accepts high-resolution sources at 24 frames per second to preserve the clarity of the original film image.
Light output and contrast
The light output is 3800 ANSI lm, complemented by a brightness of 3040 ISO lm. The high contrast ratio of 2,500,000:1 contributes to the precise rendering of dark scenes and deep blacks. The colour performance complies with the Rec.709 standard, which is the international HDTV standard for accurate reproduction of cinematic colours. The high brightness maintains rich colours and realistic visual effects even in well-lit environments during the day.
Laser technology
The laser light source exhibits stable brightness over a long period of operation. Laser technology provides instant power on and off without the need for a lengthy warm-up. The light source has a lifespan of 30,000 hours in both normal and power-saving ECO modes. Optoma uses DuraCore technology, which is designed for maintenance-free operation. The brightness of the laser backlight can be up to twice as high as that of a similar lamp-based device in many situations, while maintaining high efficiency.
Operating noise and power consumption
The projector's power consumption is 150W, indicating economical operation. The low noise level reduces distractions during quiet film scenes or important presentations. The cooling system's noise level ranges between 29dB(A) and 31dB, depending on the selected operating mode. The energy-saving technology used reduces power consumption by up to 47% compared to lamp-based solutions. In addition, the Auto power off function switches the device off after a certain period of inactivity, saving electricity.
Projection distance
The projector requires a projection distance of at least 0.98m from the screen. The integrated zoom helps with precise image size adjustment without having to physically move the entire unit. The placement distance is 9.8m, which allows for flexible image size adjustment. Users can use Optoma's Smart Control app to make quick parameter adjustments. The device is not a short-throw projector, but its wide range of distances suits various room types.
Installation and mounting options
The design allows for ceiling installation or stable placement on a table as a freestanding unit. Support for 360° projection facilitates projection at unconventional angles and in creative installations. The device does not use autofocus or automatic tilt correction. The projector is designed for continuous 24/7 operation in its standard orientation, making it suitable for demanding installations in commercial spaces. For optimal performance and to extend its lifespan, the manufacturer recommends switching it off for 30 minutes every 24 hours.
Sound features and gaming mode
The integrated speaker reproduces sound without the need to connect an external audio system. Full support for the Full 3D format enables the display of three-dimensional content from compatible players. Gaming mode optimises settings for low latency and fast response when gaming. The three-dimensional image can be received from Blu-ray 3D players, modern game consoles or 3D TV broadcasts. The integrated high-performance speaker complements the visual component and simplifies the overall setup of the entertainment system.
Connectivity options
The connectivity options include two HDMI inputs and one standard VGA D-SUB port. A USB-A port powers external peripheral devices. The fixed Ethernet LAN port is used to connect to the network. The audio interface consists of one audio jack input and one audio jack output. The USB-A port is used to connect and power wireless HDMI modules, such as Google Chromecast or Apple TV.

Native resolution vs. maximum resolution
Native resolution determines the actual number of physical pixels on the projector's imaging chip and defines the real sharpness of the image. Maximum resolution, on the other hand, only indicates the highest signal the projector can receive and convert (downscale) to its native resolution. For a high-quality image, always pay attention to the native resolution.Specifications
