Mini projectors haven’t really caught on ever since they were introduced to the masses some time ago, and we’re guessing that’s because there really isn’t a deep rooted need for one of these puppies. Well, that doesn’t mean manufacturers will stop churning out such devices, otherwise we wouldn’t have the £229.99 Optoma GT100 Mini Projector to play around with. Capable of throwing an image of up to 75-inches in size, the Optoma GT100 will play nice with just about any video game console, set top box, DVD players, notebooks as well as other compatible devices onto any flat surface.
Ideal for use by children for gaming and watching movies around the house, the GT100 uses LED lamp technology to ensure a robust and long lamp-life of up to 30,000 hours, whilst the compact design and straightforward connections mean it is suitable for all but the youngest members of the family to use for gaming, watching movies or displaying photos.
Justin Halls, Head of Product Management at Optoma Europe commented, “The GT100 addresses the entry level and “fun” projector market perfectly. With “fuss-free” composite (RCA) and VGA (15-pin D-Sub) inputs the GT100 will connect to most home entertainment sources in addition to PCs and laptops providing a great way to enhance the entertainment experience for anyone. There is a built in 1.5w speaker and audio input is provided via the audio RCA connections. All-in-all the GT100 is an excellent first projector for all the family”.
Weighing just 770g the GT100 is highly portable and is therefore the perfect solution for displaying video and photos at family gatherings, children and keen gamers to enhance their gaming experience with friends by projecting life size images on to a screen or blank wall.
