Optoma GT1080Darbee 1080p 3000 ANSI Lumens Full HD Short Throw DLP Projector

Best projector I have ever used or seen! I have had 2 previous projectors from Epson and Acer but this Optoma tops both of them twice over! I love the fact there are so many settings so that each user can set up their own preferred viewing modes etc.I also love the short throw feature. I have the projector installed on a ceiling mount about 110cm away from the projector screen and it displays a screen size of around 120".I cant really fault this projector other than the keystone is only vertical there is no horizontal keystone...but that being said as long as users make themselves aware of this they should be able to mount the projector in a way that wouldn't need keystone adjusted.The projector itself does get quite hot but it does have a pretty good cooling system so it cools down quite quickly once switched off.The 3D feature was a bonus in this projector, it honestly feels no different than being at the actual cinema. 3D Glasses dont come with the projector but as long as you buy '3D Active DLP Glasses' they will work with this projector. You have to press the 3D button in the projector remote to activate 3D and it gives you the option for DLP-Link and VESA. I'm it sure what VESA 3D is but my active 3D glasses work with the DLP link feature. The 3D glasses can be picked up for about £15 per pair which isn't too bad.There is a 3D link socket on the projector but I'm not sure what that does? 3D already works as long as you have powered active DLP link 3D glasses.There is also 2 HDMI sockets built into this projector, and both are fully 1080p@60Hz compatible. HDMI2 is MHL compatible so if you wanted to you could use a compatible cable to get your smartphone/tablet screen up on the projector.There is also a 12v out trigger 3.5mm option if you wanted to be able to automate an electric projector screen when power is turned on the projector.Other sockets it has is USB for powering purposes and a micro USB input.There isn't an input for VGA, Scart, or RCA but this is 2019 and it is really dead technology now days.Lastly there is a 3.5mm audio out socket for connecting to external sound system. It would've been better for optical but it's not the worst thing. I would recommend using external sound as the speaker built into the projector is not very loud. Even just a small portable bluetooth speaker would be ok for external sound.All in all I'm very happy with the product and well worth the money.

I have had video projectors for many many years lots of different types sizes and this has to be the best one I have every had , the 3d works so well , the gaming mode is just unbelievable the way that the image bounces off of the screen is just outstanding

I spent a long, long time researching projectors from standard throw to short throw through to ultra-short throw in order to get a good picture, brightness and portability – this has been a really good purchase for both inside viewing and garden cinema nights. It's not 4K but the picture quality is very good. Brightness is very good although don't ever expect to view any projector in anything but a slightly darkened environment.

Absolutely love this projector, I may never leave my flat again.Great image quality, vibrant colours. Extremely easy to set up.Purchased the 3D glasses as well and they work a treat.

I upgraded from a cheap £100 projector and I'm so glad I did. I get a 120inch picture from approx. 1.5M away.The speakers aren't the best but I would advise outputting audio to a dedicated device anyway.

Despite only having this for less than one year with limited use of about 2-4 hours per week, the lamp has already blew, even though it was ceiling hung with plenty of ventilation space.Up to that point was great but disappointed for the extremely short lamp life.

Love it great way to pass time

Just what I needed for a presentation to my club!
