Optoma Technology ZH450ST Overview

If space is at a premium, the DuraCore ZH450ST 4200-Lumen Full HD Short-Throw Laser DLP Projector from Optoma Technology can be your solution to adding Full HD projection to smaller meeting spaces and venues. With a short 0.496:1 throw, the ZH450ST can get close to the wall, creating a large 100" display from just over 3.3' away.

Eco-Friendly Solution
In addition to the 47% power reduction, the DuraCore laser is also mercury-free for a lower carbon footprint. The chassis of the ZH450ST is made up of 50% PCR (Post-Consumer Recycled) plastics, and up to 99% of the packaging is recyclable.
Multiple Control Options
The ZH450ST is made to integrate into most corporate spaces, with multiple control support options. There's an RS232 port for monitoring and control, it's compatible with both AMX and Extron IPLink control systems, and the ZH450ST works with Crestron RoomView software.
Multimedia Support
With 1080p full HD resolution, the ZH450ST delivers high-quality presentations and exhibits, but it can also be used for entertainment. You can hook up a gaming console or Blu-ray player to one of its two HDMI ports, and you can use the USB-A port to power an optional HDMI dongle, such as Google Chromecast, to access a library of streaming options.
Minimal Maintenance
The laser light source offers consistent results for very long periods. In fact, the ZH450ST is capable of 24/7 operation, and the DuraCore laser provides approximately 30,000 hours of life before requiring replacement.
Auto Power Off
To help with energy savings and the environment, the ZH450ST will automatically power itself off if it's left unused for a set period of time.

Best Golf Sim Projector

By TucsonJim
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-11-18

Short-throw, Sealed-laser, Low-latency, And Built For Real-world Wear, The ZH450ST Is A Durable Option Where A Big LED TV Is Awkward Or Fragile... Such As Golf Simulator. NEVER Put Projector In Middle Of Ceiling. That's Where Club Heads And Balls Go. On Line With Top Of Screen And 16 Inches To Left With ZERO Loss Of Brightness Five Feet From 140-inch Screen (not 18ft). Requires Both Vertical And Horizontal Keystone (that Others Lack). Nearly Twice The Weight As Far More Durable. Sealed IP6X Certified Laser Built For Continuous Operation And Dusty/dirty Environments (unlike ZH450 Without The ST). Only Discontinued ViewSonic LS740-WD Is Also IP6X, But It's Not Native 1080p, Like This Projector. Just A Year Old (won't Be Replaced Soon). Not 4k (not Best For Movies). Should Last Over A Decade.
