Another 1080p laser short throw on Optoma's 0.496 lens: 4,200 lumens (Optoma gives no measurement standard for this model), a fixed lens, a 116% offset on its page and datasheet, a laser rated 30,000 hours, and a network port for managed installations. Optoma's shared manual lists 115% for the networked model, inside its stated ±5% tolerance. A 100-inch image sits about 3.6 ft from the screen. At $2,289 at Indoor Golf Outlet it costs $990 more than the GT2400HDR, which matches its brightness and throw. For a golf room the GT2400HDR is the better buy.
