Optoma Launches Next Evolution of its Ultra Short Throw Home Projector

Optoma has unveiled the next evolution of its GT5000 ultra short throw home entertainment projector, the GT5000+. With 3,600 lumens, this brighter next-generation model performs even better when used with the lights on.

Designed for people who love to game and watch TV, sports or films on a big screen, the GT5000+ can project imagery up to 100 inches diagonal from just 30cm away without the irritation of shadows or cables running across the room. And with just 33ms input lag, this quick response time will be a real advantage for gamers.

With Full HD 1080p resolution, it produces razor sharp imagery with optimum colour performance.

Optoma’s Head of EMEA Marketing, Joe Ahmed, said: “This high brightness, ultra-short throw GT5000+ creates an exceptional 100-inch Full HD experience that can be installed, tidied away after use or taken with you.”

Its easy set-up allows users to move it from one room to another and it fits perfectly into any interior due to its new all-white colour. It comes equipped with a built-in speaker that delivers powerful 16W audio. An audio output connector is also included, enabling connection to external sound systems.

The projector’s broad connectivity includes two HDMI and two VGA inputs for connection to any device. This means games consoles, Blu-ray players or digital television set top boxes can be simultaneously connected, making switching between sources literally the push of a button.

It can be turned into a smart projector by connecting an HDMI dongle like the HDCast Pro, Google Chromecast™, Amazon Fire™ or Apple TV™ to play games, stream videos and share photos on the big screen at home.

The GT5000+ displays true 3D content from almost any 3D source, including 3D Blu-ray players, 3D broadcasting and the latest generation games consoles. Support for 144Hz rapid refresh rate provides ultra-smooth flicker free images. The 3D-sync port can connect to an Optoma ZF2300 starter kit – required for 3D viewing (sold separately).

For maximum contrast and brightness, it can be used with Optoma’s 100” ambient light rejecting ALR100 screen.

A full specification sheet for the GT5000+ together with information on the full product range, brochures and images of the projectors are available from www.optoma.co.uk
