A good gamer is always ready to do battle. If you come packing the Optoma GT750 Projector, competitors should cower and start practicing some type of special thumb exercises.
The newly announced projector is portable, which means you can show off your gaming skills virtually anywhere, at any time -- and it's Optoma's first projector with native support for common 3D-compatible sources such as the PS3, Blu-ray 3D players and 3D cable and set top boxes. Optoma says that the GT750 is compatible with all current 3D gaming formats and standards.
As part of the GameTime line, Optoma is targeting the gaming market with this device. However, it also makes for the perfect impromptu movie night, both indoors and outside.
"This is a milestone product for Optoma and a direct response to 3D gaming enthusiasts who want to take advantage of the newest technologies," said Jon Grodem, Optoma's senior director of product & marketing. "And as more 3D content becomes available, both for games and general entertainment, the GT750 becomes a natural choice."
It features a native widescreen high definition 720p (1280x720 pixels) resolution, running at 120 Hz but accepts the HDMI 1.4a 3D signals (up to 1080p resolution) and converts these internally so they can be displayed with this projector without the need for any outboard adapter. Besides the projector and somewhere to view it, 3D viewers will also need compatible active 3D glasses, such as Optoma's BG-ZD101 DLP Link 3D Glasses or nVidia's 3D Vision Wireless Glasses Kit. The DLP Link glasses may be the most convenient as they require no separate emitter, relying instead on the sync signal built into the blanking interval between frames as projected by the unit's internal DLP micro-mirror device.
Projecting images of up to 300 inches (diagonally), other features on the GT750 include a short throw lens, 2500 lumens of brightness, support for PC and Mac computers, and a built-in 10-watt stereo speaker system -- that's right, it even comes packing sound. It also has connection options for two HDMI devices, as well as VGA, S-Video, composite, stereo RCA audio-in, stereo audio-out and RS-232 ports. For $799 (MSRP), it also comes with its own remote and a backpack for carting it to parties, parks, and other social engagements.
Pre-orders for the projector should begin shortly, with plans to have GT750 projector start shipping in August. Order early, and you may get in a few games or movies while the weather is still beautiful.
