Description

With the Optoma Photon Go, you can enjoy sharp images when you watch TV shows. This projector displays everything in Full HD resolution, so you can clearly see details like faces in the audience. Its compact size makes the projector light and small, so you can easily carry it in a bag. Thanks to the ultra short throw, you can place the projector just 35cm from the projection surface for a 1m wide image. This way, you can even use it in small rooms like a home office. The laser lamp has a lifespan of about 20,000 hours. This lets you enjoy a bright and colorful projection without having to replace the lamp often.

Image distortion

Lightful
Not easy to use

The screen must be extra flat, otherwise the image will be blurry and distorted. Even with an expensive and sturdy screen, there is still image distortion at the edges of the image because the edges of the screen curl slightly.

Review is 9,0 out of 10.

After much hesitation, I am certainly satisfied with the cho

Very good image quality despite it not being 4K
Small and inconspicuous
Even very close to the wall the image is very large
Navigation system can be a bit slow at times

I hesitated for a long time about buying this device. But I certainly don't regret my choice. The images are very sharp and the colors are beautiful. Although this projector isn't 4K, I can hardly imagine the image being any better. Ideal for a cinematic effect at home.

Highly recommended, especially considering the significant price difference with comparable short-throw projectors.

However, there should be some clearance around it (don't place it directly against a soundbar, for example, leave 5 or 10 cm between them), otherwise it can overheat and trip.
