Optoma's 2026 golf-line laser short throw: WXGA (1280 x 800, 16:10), 3,600 lumens (ISO 21118), a fixed 0.521 lens with a 112% offset, a DuraCore laser rated 30,000 hours in eco mode, an IP6X dust-sealed optical engine and a Golf Sim picture mode. A 100-inch 16:10 image sits about 3.7 ft from the screen, per Optoma's manual. It is $899 at Shop Indoor Golf. It sits beside the ZW350ST in Optoma's golf range with the same resolution, rated brightness, lens and laser life. Two things differ: Optoma states the measurement standard for this one, and its 112% offset puts the near edge of a 100-inch image about 1.6 in closer to the lens line than the ZW350ST's 115%. Resolution is the tradeoff, as with the ZW350ST: 1280 x 800 is about half the pixels of 1080p, so the ball and distant course detail are softer on a large impact screen. The 1080p GT2300HDR has a similar throw for about $200 more.
Compare with
How it stacks up against the closest alternatives.
Who this is for
Honest match per persona.
Good for
No specific match.
Not for
- Performance Seeker
WXGA resolution. Serious practice wants at least 1080p.
- Showroom
1280 x 800 on a premium screen looks low-resolution.
- Family Setup
Movies and games at 1280 x 800 look dated; a shared room is better served by a 1080p or 4K unit.
- Cost-Effective Buyer
The ZW350ST has the same resolution, rated brightness and lens for less, and the 1080p GT2300HDR has a similar throw for about $200 more, which is the better value on a large screen.
