Description

The Optoma GT500XR is a short-throw XGA projector built for bright, vibrant entertainment at any time of day. Its 0.617:1 throw ratio lets it sit close to the screen while still filling a large image, making it a practical choice for living rooms and home spaces where a long throw distance isn't available.

Full specifications Datasheet Compare alternatives

Rated at 4,000 lumens with a 25,000:1 contrast ratio, the GT500XR delivers punchy, high-contrast images that hold up against some ambient light. A 203W lamp light source, HDMI, VGA and composite inputs, a USB-A power output for streaming dongles, and a built-in speaker keep setup simple for movies, gaming and sport.

Lightweight and portable, the GT500XR can be moved easily between rooms or taken along in an optional carry bag.

Planning from a real wall? Use the projector screen size calculator to upload a photo, preview the image to scale and find projectors that fit within your maximum available space. Replacing an existing projector? The projector replacement calculator checks whether this lens covers the ratio your current mount needs.

Distances are lens-to-screen, calculated from the manufacturer's stated throw ratio; allow for lens shift and mounting hardware. Always confirm against the manufacturer's installation guide before fixing mounts.
