A projector from Optoma is the GT1070X, whose 3D-BrilliantColor-DLP model delivers 2600 ANSI lumens, a resolution of HDTV 1920 x 1080 and a contrast of 23000:1. The manufacturer lists the lamp life at 5000 hours. With two hours of daily operation, this corresponds to a period of 6.8 years. Thanks to its low throw ratio, the model is excellently suited for rooms with limited space. A distance of just 98 cm is sufficient to generate an image width of 2 meters. Regarding projection size, the value of 2600 ANSI lumens allows for an image width of up to 518 cm in darkened environments. In rooms with ambient light, the image width should be correspondingly reduced to a maximum of 345 cm. For media input, video signals up to 1080P as well as 3D are supported. The built-in HDMI-MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link) port enables screen mirroring from a smartphone while simultaneously charging it. This model dates back to 2014 and is no longer part of Optoma's current product range.

Affordable home theater projector that can be fun.
Unfortunately, due to space constraints, only a short-throw projector is possible in our living room to get a large screen at a low cost.
Accordingly, expectations of the device were not quite as high.
We had our eye on several devices, but decided on the quieter and, in our experience, more reliable device from Optoma. According to various recessions on Amazon, I encountered too many teething troubles with other manufacturers.
Now to the projector itself:
It is actually hardly noticeable in movie mode and delivers a very bright image that appears rather pale at first glance. However, if the projector is properly adjusted and calibrated (as well as possible), it delivers very respectable images.
The often criticized poor black level can be counteracted very well with a masked screen.
Overall, delivers a very homogeneous, natural image in a darkened room, which is by no means contrary to evening movie enjoyment.
Overall, we are very satisfied with the projector and can recommend it with a clear conscience. If you are willing to improve the conditions for movie watching, it is definitely fun.
Two years ago, we had a home theater with a 125-inch screen for five years. However, we gave this up due to lack of space...... a big mistake, because even a 50-inch 4K TV with brilliant sharpness cannot come close to replacing the current 120-inch screen image for us.
The big picture draws us more into the action than a sharper TV picture can achieve, even if it is only full HD. I have to get to about 1.5 meters before I can see a pixel structure. So Full HD is enough for us for unadulterated home theater enjoyment.
