The step below the GT2400HDR in Optoma's 0.496 laser family: 1080p, 3,600 lumens (ISO 21118) instead of 4,200, the same fixed lens and 116% offset, a DuraCore laser rated 30,000 hours in eco mode, the same 274 x 216 mm cabinet and a Golf Sim picture mode. Optoma lists 8.4 to 8.6 ms of input lag at 1080p/120Hz (its golf datasheet and manual differ). A 100-inch image sits about 3.6 ft from the screen, per the manual. It is $1,099 at Indoor Golf Outlet and $1,099.99 at Amazon, $200 under the GT2400HDR. The 600 lumens between them matter in a room with daylight; in a room you can darken, this is the cheaper way into the same throw.

Who this is for

Honest match per persona.

Good for

  • Cost-Effective Buyer

    A laser short throw for $1,099, with no lamp to replace. About what the GT2000HDR costs, rated 3,600 lumens (ISO 21118) against its 3,500 (Optoma states no standard for that one), with a Golf Sim mode it lacks, and $200 under the GT2400HDR.

  • Space-Constrained

    The 0.496 throw puts 100 inches up from about 3.6 ft, the same tight geometry as the GT2400HDR.

Not for

  • Performance Seeker

    1080p and 3,600 lumens; serious practice benefits from 4K.

  • Showroom

    Entry-level brightness and housing for a room built to impress.

Room planner

See the Optoma GT2300HDR 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.
