GT1080HDR FAQs: Question: Does the Projector output native 4K UHD? Answer: No. The projector can accept a 4K UHD or 4K UHD HDR signal, then output 1080p HDR with a small degree of upscale to 4K UHD. Question: Is Short Throw easy to set up? Answer: Simply place the projector on a flat surface. If the projector is not level, use the vertical keystone function to align the image. Question: My image is not straight or aligned to the screen or wall. How can I fix this? Answer: This means the projector is not resting on a surface that is completely flat and level OR the projection surface is not flat. A Short Throw projector lens is less tolerant of misalignment than standard throw projectors, so projecting from a flat surface will ensure a straighter image. Question: Does this projector support HDR? Answer: Yes, the projector supports HDR10 for stunning white and black levels along with rich cinematic color. HDR is supported on the port marked “HDMI 2.0”. Question: Does the projector support Xbox Series X/S and PS5 along with HDMI 2.1? Answer: The projector supports the Xbox Series X/S and PS5. One HDMI port on the projector is HDMI 2.0 which is backwards compatible with HDMI 2.1. The projector can accept a 4K UHD HDR 60Hz signal, 1440p HDR 60Hz signal, 1080p HDR 60Hz signal -- then output in 1080p HDR 60Hz. If the signal is 1080p HDR 120Hz, the projector will output 1080p HDR 120Hz. 4K UHD 120Hz is not supported. Question: What is the input lag for the projector? Answer: With Enhanced Gaming Mode enabled -- 1080p 60Hz is 16ms and 1080p 120Hz is 8.4ms. Question: Does the projector support 4K UHD 120Hz? Answer: No. The projector supports 1080p 120Hz only. For Optoma’s current lineup of 4K UHD models, visit the True 4K UHD section on the Optoma Brand Store on Amazon. Question: Does the projector support 3D? Answer: Yes. 1080p 3D content is supported in Top/Bottom, Side by Side, Sequential (PC) and Frame Pack (Blu-ray). Question: Where can I buy 3D DLP Link Glasses? Answer: Compatible 3D DLP Link Glasses can be purchased directly from Amazon from brands such as APEMAN and Boblov.

    Great Cinematic projector!
    5 Stars
    Great Cinematic projector!
    Firstly, I wanted to say that I was not compensated to write this review. It is simply the result of my good experience with this projector over the last month. Also, I’ve had experience with 2 pevious projectors, the most recent being the Optoma EH415ST (which is also a decent 1080p projector) and 2 projectors I tried and returned. I really just wanted better, more accurate color and a way to show my 3D collection. I was sold on the Optoma short throw set up. It works perfect for me as I move my projector around. It isn’t as finnicky as the Ultra Short Throw projectors. For those you need an absolutely flat, fixed screen because they show every little imperfection. Believe me I tried. This Optoma short throw of 100 inches at about 4 feet is thankfully, more forgiving. And lastly, I’m not a gamer so I can’t speak to the input lag and all that. But I imagine it would be a very good experience.Setting up: It’s pretty intuitive. I have yet to look at the manual or even the quick setup card. You turn it on, plug in your roku, firestick, bluray player or whatever in HDMI 1 and get familiar with settings you prefer. Pretty simple. Even a Caveman could do it. There was no substantial lens cap on mine. It came with a clam shell cover that was taped on.Remote: I got a small remote….like roku small with a lot of little buttons. Luckily, my old, larger remote works with this projector and is easier to work. You can buy these on amazon for a reasonable price.Brightness and Daylight viewing: Hey, it’s a laser light! It has a very long lifespan and It’s super bright. For me, it stays in ECO mode and I find myself turning down the brightness. I’m including a photo of the screen with a couple of window shades up. It will still produce a decent image. And you can adjust for this by choosing a different mode and tweaking settings. I think it would do a very good job in a conference room in presentation mode. At night, I can have a lamp or 2 on with very little degradation of the image.. Also, I turn my projector on and off a lot. I think the laser is a better choice for this.Color and image quality: This projector has rich, accurate color and produces, what are sometimes, eyepopping whites and colors. I found that the best setting for this is the Cinema mode. It seems to do a great job with whatever it does with 4k and HDR input and produces beautiful images. Black levels are very good. Maybe not as good as a OLED tv, but it’s better than my LG 4k flat screen. Here are some of my settings for the Cinema mode: I leave dynamic range, or HDR on auto.Brightness, contrast and color can be zero…. Or -4 brightness and +4 color. In the color group, Brilliant color goes on the blue side at the low end and green at the top. I leave it in the middle at 5. For Gamma I leave it at standard. I do find the Cinema mode is on the blue side with temperature set at Cold…. I adjust this with +5 for Tint. Or you can adjust the color temperature. Pretty simple. You’re mostly adjusting the brightness and color as you go from media to media. I also spent time with the RGB mode. It’s preset very warm and on the green side. You can adjust with tint and color temp. Whites aren’t as brilliant, but this can be easier on the eyes. I tend to have sharpness turned up all the way but it depends on the media. Older films that are lower resolution copies can benefit from turning down it down.Random: I watched the movie Speed Racer last night. My gosh, what an eyecandy extravaganza! Looked fantastic!3D viewing: It’s good, nice color but you still see roughness in action. Optoma touts the 120 hz support as being helpful with 3D, but I believe this only applies to a game console or computer. Correct me if I’m wrong. I was pleasantly surprised that once you switch to 3D mode, you can still adjust image settings. I’ll keep playing with that.Photos: I’ve included some photos….not really for close inspection. Just snaps I took from my couch with my phone mainly to show color. And my first screen was screwed up at the top. The real thing is better with proper keystone, color and sharpness.All in all, I think Optoma hit a sweet spot here. A laser projector that produces a beautiful, cinematic image as good or better than a movie theater and support for 4k and HDR input. If you have the bucks and the short throw works for you, give it a try!

    I tend to have sharpness turned up all the way but it depends on the media. Older films that are lower resolution copies can benefit from turning down it down.

    Random: I watched the movie Speed Racer last night. My gosh, what an eyecandy extravaganza! Looked fantastic!

    3D viewing: It’s good, nice color but you still see roughness in action. Optoma touts the 120 hz support as being helpful with 3D, but I believe this only applies to a game console or computer. Correct me if I’m wrong. I was pleasantly surprised that once you switch to 3D mode, you can still adjust image settings. I’ll keep playing with that.

    Photos: I’ve included some photos….not really for close inspection. Just snaps I took from my couch with my phone mainly to show color. And my first screen was screwed up at the top. The real thing is better with proper keystone, color and sharpness.

    All in all, I think Optoma hit a sweet spot here. A laser projector that produces a beautiful, cinematic image as good or better than a movie theater and support for 4k and HDR input. If you have the bucks and the short throw works for you, give it a try!

    ok ive been using optoma gt1080hdr for 1 week now and below are my findings

    pros
    -being a product known for gaming, playing movie on this is amazing, the colours is mesmerizing
    -150inch of native 1080p video is out of this world,there is nothing that can top this
    -GAMING! on a native 1080p 120fps on 150inch screen, there is also nothing that can top this
    -being an audiophile guy, i expect a rubbish sound from the built in speaker. turns out i was so wrong.the mid vocal is so loud, i can literally hear whispers. so to respect the quality optoma has given on the speaker, ill continue to use its built in speaker for one month before i switch the audio output permanently
    -this might not be important but worth mentioning, the remote control light is super bright, handy in dark
    -best money i ever spend

    cons
    -not much of manual comes with the box, but product usage is easy, you can learn by common sense
    -on enhanced gaming mode, keystone function is grey out/disable. so you cant tilt your projector on gaming mode
