They also deliver increased efficiency to maintain consistent brightness, excellent color performance, instant on/off, and a lifespan of up to 30,000 hours. This long lifetime is achieved using Optoma's DuraCore technology. Implementing advanced laser diode cooling techniques and an IP6X dust resistant design.

picked up unit to be used for golf simulator in garage. Unit works Great with a short throw of 7' 6" and a great picture. The unit is also great for watching football with a very clear picture and life like with a 11'4" width and 8'4" height. Sound from speakers works well and very easy to set up.

Beautiful Picture once setup. sound out limited to mini jack. Controls and setup a bit glitchy, I had mounted overhead and it started rear projection, tough to read upside down and backward. Menu options seem limited, couldn't figure out how to set 16:9 or 4:3. control through wifi is a tedious road to travel. My use is Golf simulation and movie night. overall this is a very good projector, sharp and clear, just a few setup issues.
