Review:
The Optoma ZW300UST is a multimedia laser phosphor projector that produces bright, colorful imagery and razor-sharp text with its 3200 lumens and 22,000:1 contrast ratio. Its ultra-short throw operation allows for a large 115'' image to be displayed from only 19'' away, making it ideal for use in space-constrained environments. The PC-free USB media player supports playback of video and audio files, along with shared images and presentations. The projector also features a powerful 10-watt speaker and 3D compatibility. However, some users have reported that the integrated speaker produces a nasal sound and that the customer service from Optoma is lacking. Additionally, the projector is not very quiet, just below 40db when running on its own.
