Optoma GT780 Short Throw Projector for Gaming & Movies | HD Ready 720p + 1080p Support | Bright 3800 Lumens for Lights-on Viewing | 3D-Compatible | Speaker Built In

The lamp lifetime is around 400hours which is much shorter than the 15000 hours advertised. It only worked perfectly for 9 months. Now it has to be repaired!

This is great for our occasional movie nights or big game nights. It is bright enough and the picture quality is great. I feel like last years model would have worked just as well for me. I bought this for HDR, but there is very little support for it. Other than that great buy.

I cant not figure out why some options of the projector are disabled for me as Im trying to try all modes and options to have this projector run for my golf simulator and I dont have the option to turn on enhanced game mode so with not being to try and see all options of the projector I cant justify more than 2

Product was worth every dollar spent. Excellent product. Couldnt be happier and satisfied with the superb quality.

Fantastic Quality.. I enjoy it quite a lot.

Amazing quality. Best purchase i made all year

Works great

Entire disappointing nightmare from Optoma AND Amazon here -- bought this from Amazon and was excited by the brightness and short throw capabilities of this projector, but out of the box the unit would freeze and shut down if i tried to change inputs and only start up with input correctly connected 1/10 times (requiring an unplug and re-plug to solve) I contacted Amazon to return the defective unit and they told me it was past the return window (?) but that they would connect me with Optoma. Amazon associate set up a 3 way call with Optoma support, who was incredibly rude but finally and condescendingly told me to submit an RMA to return the unit to Optoma for repair. I submitted an RMA and shipped the unit up -- weeks later I got an incredibly rude email from Optoma insisting that nothing was wrong with the unit and that they would be shipping it back. I insisted that there was a real issue that required repair and they refused and told me theyd ship my unit back. Over a month has gone by and my unit has not been returned and countless emails and calls to Optoma have gone un-acknowledged. I called Amazon yesterday and encountered an awful employee that told me first, that the unit could have been returned to Amazon initially after all, that the original support contact Id made at Amazon kept no notes of our interaction, so theres no proof of this existing -- and that theres no way for me to get a refund because theres no paper trail of the situation. So now Im out $850+ with no projector and no response from Optoma or Amazon -- big fail across the board

I had high hopes for this projector after all the reviews but ended up having to send it back due to poor colors leading the picture looking washed out. The Good: Low input lag for gaming Short throw is nice Has good brightness The Bad: -Colors are poor, washed out. Even after using calibration disk and doing lengthy calibration, I could not get the colors to look good. This was the deal breaker for me. It has a lot of calibration options but did not help me achieve good color saturation. - It looked worse playing Xbox One X games. The colors were so washed out that I would never want to play a video game on this projector. - no zoom on the lens. You have to position this projector perfectly to get the right size on the screen. - Only 2 of the 3 posts on the projector are adjustable, the front and back right post. this means if you need to tilt the image to the right, you cannot do it as the back left post is not adjustable. Poor design. In the end I sent it back and got the Benq HT2150ST which is the same price. What a difference! The colors on this projector are vibrant, with proper saturation out of the box. I am intending to still calibrate it but it looks great out of the box. Low input lag for video games and they look great. It has a zoom on the lens to help with getting the picture to easier fit the screen, came with a bag, better post adjustment also for positioning the projection. The throw is not as short as the GT1080HDR but still is a short throw. The shorter throw on the GT1080HDR is nice. I know some say the GT1080HDR can look great with a lot of calibration but to be honest, one should not need to be professionally trained to get the picture to look decent on the projector. It should look good out of the box and be to be improved with calibration. Not look poor out of the box and need a complex calibration to make it suitable. Hope this helps.

Item was dead on arrival. Wouldnt power on at all. Tried multiple power cables (including the one that came with it), multiple batteries in the remote, etc. Nothing worked. Poor quality control.
