Optoma's budget DuraCore laser short-throw — 3,500 lumens (Optoma states no measurement standard), 1080p, an IP6X dust rating, and a Custom Screen Type setting (firmware C08) that sizes the image to a golf screen's aspect ratio. It has no dedicated Golf Sim picture mode; Optoma markets that on the GT2400HDR. Sits one step below the GT2400HDR. The GT2300HDR costs the same and adds 3,600 lumens (ISO 21118) and a Golf Sim mode; the WXGA ZW350ST costs less at a lower resolution.

Who this is for
Honest match per persona.
Good for
- Cost-Effective Buyer
Under $1,200 at every retailer we track, and usually less at Amazon, for a real laser short-throw with 30,000-hour engine life. Compared to a lamp projector at similar price, the laser eliminates lamp-replacement cost over the practical life of the build.
- Recreational Player
Plug-and-play setup, with screen-ratio presets for common golf screens and an IP6X dust rating that suits a dusty basement install. Honest 1080p that looks fine on a typical impact screen.
- Space-Constrained
0.496 fixed throw fits tight rooms — about 3.6 feet from a 100" screen. The right projector for low-ceiling, short-depth builds that can't accept the BenQ TK710STi's geometry.
Not for
- Performance Seeker
1080p — not 4K. Serious data review and shot-tracer detail benefit from the TK710STi or UHZ35ST.
- Showroom
Budget-tier brand positioning and 1080p resolution. Premium rooms favor 4K laser (TK710STi, UHZ35ST, LK936ST).
- Family Setup
1080p budget pick reads as utilitarian. Family rooms that also serve as movie/gaming displays benefit from 4K (TK710STi).

Room planner
See the Optoma GT2000HDR in your sim room.
The planner draws it to scale with your room and your screen: where it mounts, how far the lens sits from the screen, and whether your swing or your shadow crosses the light. It opens in a sample room; put in yours.
