Optoma PT100 Review

The Optoma PT100 is not the tiniest projector in our lineup. It is not the one with the best picture. It does not offer the most connectivity options either. It is an amazing value, though, at less than 180 bucks. Your movies and games will look pretty...

For less than $200 you can have a 100-inch screen for games, movies and more.

The picture is less bright than competitors with only 50 lumens.

Optoma’s PT100 lacks some connections, but the picture quality is quite good considering the low price.

Optoma PT100 Personal Entertainment Projector

A review of Optoma's PT100 LED Projector, a tiny projector for video games and movies.

Optoma's Playtime PT100 is an impressive little projector with a rock-bottom price. It is one of the least expensive ways to put a bright, vibrant picture on the wall at a reasonable diagonal size for video games or movies. While it is built for games,...

Optoma PT100

Don't expect much from a $180 projector.

The Optoma PT100 isn't one of the better projectors we've reviewed, performance-wise. It's lamp outputs barely any light, and even in a dimly-lit room you'll find its image looks washed out. The PT100 didn't put up great numbers on any of our picture...

Worth money

Good product for the money, weekend movies and games are good with this. Very easy to setup, friendly user interface. This projector is good for only dark rooms only. Image is sharp and good. I liked the product, it is perfect for my needs at that price.
