My Honest Optoma GT1080HDR Projector Review

Despite the fact that this machine is widely advertised to gamers, my use case was not gaming. I saw an internet review that rated this projector as the finest all-around outdoor/backyard movie projector. It is fantastic. You can get projectors with more brightness (I’ve seen 6000 lumens for $2,800, but I’m a flashlight geek and can tell you the difference between this unit’s 3800 lumens and 6000 lumens isn’t as big as you think). To put it another way, the juice isn’t worth the squeeze.)

After extensive study, I discovered that you need a Short Throw projector, such as this one, for outdoor inflatable movie displays. This is due to the fact that this device can display a 120-inch picture at a distance of just 4 feet! The brighter the projector, the closer it is to the screen. When I combined this with my 20-foot Khomo Gear inflatable movie screen, the effects were amazing. Star Wars (A New Hope), Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and The Empire Strikes Back were among the films we viewed. The projector delivers stunning deep blacks as well as bright blues, greens, and reds. The projector in my outdoor movie setup is behind my inflatable screen rather than in front of it (it’s a 2-way projection screen). Because the light must get through the textile screen, this design often needs more light. Optoma GT1080HDR projector had no trouble doing it from more than 15 feet away! It produces 3800 lumens and looks great. What you pay for is what you get.

Don’t trust anything anybody tells you about getting an inexpensive projector for viewing movies in your garden. I purchased a GooDee (they calculate brightness in lux, which is a marketing ploy; you need lumens) and was really dissatisfied with the image. This is due to the fact that the GooDee and similar projectors are not short throw projectors and do not generate the requisite lumens for a good image (let alone the resolution). The GooDee is good if you want a cheap 1970s drive-in atmosphere, but any decent high definition movie will need a projector of this quality at a least to generate an acceptable outdoor picture. Many projectors outperform Optoma GT1080HDR short throw gaming projector, but for the price, I can’t suggest it enough.
