Optoma's 2026 successor to the GT2100HDR — same DLP form factor with a refined 0.496:1 short-throw lens, 4,200 lumens (ISO 21118), 1080p resolution, HDR10/HLG, and a DuraCore laser rated 30,000 hours in eco mode. It is an incremental refresh, not a generational leap — same role in a build, slightly newer chassis, same $1,299 — and as of October 2026 it is the one you can buy: the GT2100HDR is out of stock new at every retailer we track.

Who this is for

Honest match per persona.

Good for

  • Cost-Effective Buyer

    Best brightness-per-dollar in the budget tier now that GT2100HDR is being phased out — same 4,200-lumen laser short-throw at $1,299, with current-model retailer availability and warranty.

  • Space-Constrained

    0.496:1 fixed throw fills a 100" screen from 3.6 ft. Same tight-room geometry as the GT2100HDR with the assurance the model will stay carried by retailers for the next few years.

  • Recreational Player

    1080p but bright enough for daytime garage play; laser life makes it set-and-forget. The budget Optoma to buy today; the GT2100HDR it replaced is no longer sold new.

Not for

  • Performance Seeker

    1080p not 4K. Optoma's Golf Sim picture mode helps color, not resolution. Serious-practice builds belong on AK700ST or TK710STi.

  • Showroom

    Entry-tier housing and no zoom; reads as functional rather than featured. Showroom builds should look at LK936ST or BU53RG.

  • Family Setup

    If movies and gaming matter alongside golf, step up to 4K — TK710STi covers multi-use far better.

Room planner

See the Optoma GT2400HDR 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.
