Description
The ZH430UST is a Full HD ultra short throw laser projector designed to sit close to the wall or table while still producing a large image, using a 0.25:1 throw ratio to minimise the distance needed between projector and screen. This makes it a practical option for meeting rooms and classrooms where a rear or ceiling mount isn't available.
It's built around Optoma's DuraCore laser light source, rated for up to 30,000 hours behind a sealed IP6X-rated optical engine, removing the need for lamp replacements and keeping performance consistent through years of daily use. At 4,000 lumens it's bright enough for typical office and classroom ambient lighting, and the laser source switches on instantly.
With an eco-friendly chassis built from recycled plastics, a built-in 15W speaker and HDMI connectivity, the ZH430UST is aimed at everyday meeting room and teaching use where a big, bright Full HD image is needed without the cabling and shadow issues of a standard throw installation.
Key features
Large Full HD image from close to the wall, ideal for compact rooms.
Bright output with up to 30,000 hours of maintenance-free use.
Sealed design supports consistent image quality over the long term.
Built using recycled plastics as part of Optoma's Eco Promise.
