Picture Quality

In terms of picture quality, this projector comes with a native 720p resolution with an enhanced version of 1080p. So, if you project any Full High Definition video on this device, you will not have true image quality compared to other HD projectors available on the market.

But still, you will see a video with detailed graphics and crisper video quality due to its higher contrast ratio of 25,000:1 and the powerful 3,800-lumen ANSI Metal Halide lamp inside the device.

Also, it comes with 3d ready feature that supports all the latest 3d movies with a refresh rate of 120 Hz.

It has a lamp life of 15,000 hours which will run for ten years if you use the projector for at least 2-3 hours daily.

Connectivity

This projector comes with multiple connection systems at the back of the Optoma GT780, such as 1 x HDMI, USB, VGA, 3.5mm audio jack, and RCA composite output, which work with older devices. These devices are your camcorder, older Nintendo devices, WII console, etc.

Remember there is no WIFI and Bluetooth connectivity, and also, you will get one HDMI output source so that you can connect a single streaming device at the back panel of this projector.

You can also connect an external speaker with the help of a 3.5mm or USB port system. The 10w speaker is not loud enough to experience an authentic cinematic experience while watching a movie.

Portability

If you are looking for a projection device that can be quickly taken from one place to another, like in school, business meetings, or church, then Optoma can be easily moved from one place to another.

It carries a weight of only 6 pounds and a product dimension of 4.25. This projector does not occupy a lot of space due to its compact design.

Setup

Everyone wants to set up their projector as quickly as possible to view their favorite movie or play games without wasting time.

The same goes with the Optoma GT780, which lets you set up this device on a flat table, surface, or mounted on the ceiling at the back or front of the screen.

Its lens produces an image of 100″ inches from 2.2 feet away due to its ultra-short throw projection technology.

This has a digital zoom of 0.8 – 2.0x with a vertical +/-40% keystone correction lens system that lets you project videos from a flat area.

Design

We love the design of Optoma as soon it was out of the box. The premium usage of plastic gives aesthetically appealing in our living room.

But this device will not able to handle any accidental fall and permanently damage the inside parts of the projector.

I m Carry, the owner and current Author of projectors place. I used to watch all the new series, play games, and watch movies on my television for so many years. But one day, my friends told me about replacing tv with projectors.

At that moment, I thought, why should I restrict myself to a smaller screen when an alternate option like a projector is available on the market.

So, I began searching the internet for the best projectors in 2014. And to be honest, I didn't find the information I was looking for.

But then, on my friend's suggestion, I purchased a BenQ 1080p projector in 2015. After that, my love and interest in Projector started, and I kept reviewing the latest available projectors available in the market.

I wrote down each advantage and disadvantage of the current Projector model. I gave only an honest reviews to my readers on projectorsplace.com and my social media pages like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, etc.
