Optoma GT2100HDR Small & compact bright and clear laser projector
Who’d a thunk researching for a projector would be so daunting. The prices range from under $100 to like $10,000. I chose to look for the best projector that I could find under $2,000 which helped speed up my research. The GT2100HDR has a footprint smaller than a letter size sheet of paper. At 6.6lbs it’s lighter than the GT1080, GT1090 class of Optoma projectors which I think this line of GT2000HDR & GT2100HDR replaces.I timed my purchase for Black Friday sales in 2023. Through Black Friday they dropped the price from $1799.00 to$1,399.00.The GT2100HDR is a laser projector for under $1,500 using only 173 watts which makes for a cooler machine since projectors can get quite hot. At 4200 ANSI lumens it’s almost as bright and clear as the images casted from my smaller 17″ MSI gaming laptop with the lights off. The GT2100HDR is plenty bright in ambient light. Best Buy floor models were dim and grainy in ambient light and their projectors were huge and clunky in comparison. The GT2100HDR is the most recent up to date projector from Optoma being on the market less than a year now.My GT2100HDR is one important component of my garage Golf simulator. If I turn it on it usually doesn’t get turned off till 12 hrs later. And presently its floor mounted in a case I built out of 3/8″ plywood. With any projector you get will require YouTube to help with little things here and there. One YouTuber explains how to fill the entire screen no black out top and bottom merely by changes in ur RTX3060 video card settings for example.Other things like Dynamic Contrast 300,000:1, 1080p w/4K support, 10bit color processing, laser phosphorus life 30,000 hrs, 3D mode, aspect ratio 16:9, keystone correction, 2.0 HDMI inputs, 173 watts, smaller footprint blows any non laser projector out of the water.And now what’s wrong with it. I don’t know if anybody else would be bothered by this but? The GT2100HDR looks like several other Optoma models share the same small foot print housing. There is no where mentioned that my unit is a GT2100HDR on the unit itself. The only place Optoma has the model number is on the box that it came out of. So I took a picture of the label and taped it to the bottom. My concern is if I’m in need of support whether not identifying the model # on the unit itself could get messy.The manual can be obtained on line at the Optoma support site of some 100 pages that I printed out. But I’m still not understanding how the digital shift corrections really work. And the remote that it comes with takes a bit getting use to because Optoma encrypts (being sarcastic) the images on the buttons and its hard to tell which side is up. So you’ll need the manual to explain the obvious.Overall I’m very pleased with the GT2100 I worry about the heat cus when I turn it on it stays on for the whole day and thru the night. My research for a projector had me going to Discount Golf to check out their Golf simulator setups. They run their golf simulator all day so what am I worried about?

Best Golf Simulator Projector
I built a golf simulator in my basement last year, and after a lot of research, landed on this projector as the best option. I needed something that would put up with hours of continuous use and had a short throw. After using it for more than a year and probably thousands of hours here’s why I would give it a five-star rating.Bright and clear pictureWhen setting up a golf simulator, you need to be in a room with some light so you can see the ball. I worried that a projector would struggle to provide a bright image in this environment. That is not been the case for this projector. It always appears bright and crystal clear even in a room with a lot of ambient light. I’ve also been impressed with the clarity of the picture. We use it to watch movies and videos from time to time and it really does feel high definition.Easy of UseIt couldn’t be simpler to use. The remote is easy to operate and even my 12-year-old can go down and confidently operate the projector and golf simulator. It was also very simple to hook up with an HDMI cable out the back of the projector running straight to our iPad. I also found the Keystone adjustments to be easy to work with. It got pretty close to what I needed on its own and I was able to fine-tune things manually. I never read an instruction manual, and everything turned out to be so easy.Performance over long hours of useMy two sons are competitive golfers who play tournaments almost year-round. So, I can confidently say we are users of our golf simulator. Sometimes the projector has to run for six or eight hours a day. Even with that we’ve never seen overheating issues or had any problems with performance. It simply works all the time every time.SummaryAll that being said, I can’t find anything that I would take a star off my rating for. We’ve truly been happy and I was surprised at how affordable the projector was when we purchased it. So, if you’re specifically looking for a projector for a golf simulator or even a home theater situation wherea short throw is important. I would highly recommend checking this one out. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Unit inoperable upon receipt
This product was intended to be part of a golf simulator room. Upon receipt , and after properly plugging in the provided power cord , the unit would not power on and has had to be returned . I opted to go for return of my money as I am now going to look at an alternative brand due to the very poor quality of this unit. It cost me about 1.5 hrs of my time and $18 out of pocket shipping cost to return this item. It also reflects on the overall quality of product from Electronic Express and I will look elsewhere for my electronic needs.

I installed the Optoma GT200HDR in my golf simulator and it works perfectly. It replaced an older 3000 lumen projector and the difference was remarkable. The GT2000 HDR is very bright and even with additional ambient lighting. It was extremely easy to set up and the projected image is as bright and clear as the television set that is connected to the gaming computer. The Optishot Nova launch monitor which is connected to the Orion video software allows this projector to display the most realistic images of the golf courses that I have ever experienced. An excellent projector for a golf simulator.

Was so excited for newly announced compact Laser Projector GT2000HDR 2023 model. With impressive 30,000 Hrs life. BUT when I turned it on for first time, colors was so dull, then I thought this will be some setting issue. Spent 1 hour figuring it out by changing all the option, from HLG to Cinema, sports and vivid modes. Nothing worked, colour was dull and distorted. COLOR CHANGING OPTION WAS NOT EVEN ACCESSIBLE AS IT WAS GREYED OUT AND I CANT EVEN SELECT THAT OPTION. Above all the remote is so tiny and buttons were so tiny that I ended up having pain in my finger tips and thumb. Be Aware this doesn’t have Backlite remote as other models. Above all it doesn’t even came with instructions Manual. I returned it the next day.

Great projector for my golf sim, easy to use and connect. Lacks some options for the price point and the remote is very sub par for the price also. Still bright enough for lights on viewing or sun (its not a tv but is viewable). Plenty of options for fine tuning color and focus.
