I just brought this projector on Amazon & love it! Best projector i ever had~ before i went with a lot of the cheap projectors from China & dead pixels & finger prints & damage to the lens were very common.
I purchased this Optoma Darbee 1080 but the colours weren't very natural and had a tinge of yellow in skin tones to be honest the darbee didnt make any difference to me so I purchased the Benq TH671ST and that blew me away with its natural skin tones and picture quality is absolutely amazing.
I love going to the yodabashi projector room in Akibahara in Tokyo. I think you would like it. Just I hate that they only cover or display the big brand names that is why I always watch your videos for this reason. And again your are down to earth. Also I like the room set up. I forgot to say that before.
I've got one of these and it's absolutely fantastic, but I'll give you all the heads up. I love this thing now that its installed, but installing it was an absolute nightmare. If you are ceiling mounting it, and you are trying to fit the beam onto a wall and you are going wall edge right and left, it is so very difficult to be precise in the instal because there is no zoom. I was there for ages trying to instal it. My head was nipping. I'm not trying to persuade people not to buy it, as I say, I love it. There is no problem if you are table mounting it, or you don't need to be precise about where your left and right beam edges need to be. There is a zoom in the menu but is one stop and not a slider type motion. I hope this makes sense. Any questions please ask away.
Hello sir.I been looking at the projector review's but I keep coming back to this optoma gt 1080p darbee short throw projector my room size is 11ft x 10ft ideal for what I want . Many thanks and great review sir..
I've been reading scary lamp life Experiences from Optoma OEM lamps BURNING OUT AROUND 400 to 600 hours. I was getting ready to purchase this before seeing that. Looks like Benq customers are gettI got 1200 to 4000 hours? Knowing this would you go with the GT1080Darbee, HD29Darbee, or Benq HT3050 ? Thank you for your input! :) Love the videos
The only thing I'd wish to know about this projector is whether or not the overall colour accuracy and contrast ratio was improved from the previous model.... Or is it just the inclusion of DARBEE VISION that makes is NEW?...... or should I just go ahead and get me a BenQ HT2150ST projector which I certainly know ,like unarguably,maxes out more vibrant colours than the standard Optima 1080GT.
Snagged one on Amazon based on your review. Was wondering if Darbee is worth the extra cost over the original GT1080. Decided to go ahead and buy the Darbee version for the extra lumens and slightly better contrast.
Hey! Nice review man! A question though; there is the older GT1080 and the newer GT1080e from optoma. Is this darbee based on the older 1080 or the newer 1080e model? I.e. is the gt1080 Darbee better than the 1080e? Or is there also a 1080e Darbee model?
Hello Bro, I'm from Asia. Which will you choose? Optoma GT1080 Darbee 2017 or XGIMI H1 Aurora? I can't find any side by side comparison. Thanks in advance!
Hello, my friend, I am a big fan of your videos, thank you very much for post them, I would like to know what the best portable projector with external battery we can buy in china, I would like a full 1920 x 1080 native hd?
Hello. I need short throw projector. I can not decide between /Optoma GT1080e/ ... and ... /Optoma GT1080 Darbee/ ... they looks almost the same. I need clear and very big screen from very short distance like 2 metres. What is difference between those 2 type of optoma projectors? Both should serve my need? thanks
Casey, Love the vid! I was thinking of upgrading my Optoma GT1080 to the Darbee edition. However, I was looking at finding a short throw projector that could produce a higher refresh rate (like many TV's do) in order to reduce the flicker the GT1080 series has during movies. I found the Optoma EH200ST, which has similar specs (minus the cool Darbee picture processing) with a higher refresh rate. I was wondering if you were looking at doing a review on the Optoma EH200ST. I'd really like your opinion on the higher refresh rate versus the Darbee processing. Thank you for your time! vgv
@@gedimangediman Optoma. Quite decent actually. Although the plastic housing feels cheap and the projector heats up a lot, burning to the touch at the side where the vent is. The image looks good though. Also it is a short throw projector, meaning it has a BIG lens so it can be placed half a meter from the wall and you get a 16:9 image easily.
ChannelTwerp optomo 1080HDR is currently better by just a tiny bit, do a lot of research before you decide on one, make sure you look at the different year models as well
I'm about to buy a projector and was considering either this one or the BenQ HT2150ST. Do you have any experience with that projector? I'm basically looking for the best 100" image for a dark room for $1000 or less
Cool channel. Subbed. BTW, would you say the price differential ($200 +)between the cheaper Optoma HD142x and this is worth it? I was about to pull the trigger on the 142x but now having seen your vid I'm having second thoughts.
my main man check this story. I bought the irulu bl20 on eBay after watching your review,I spent hours looking for something cheap with some hype. buddy said he lived close to me, Vancouver bc. I buy them joints, it's shipped from Indonesia. fine, it's on its way, got a good deal. I pick it up from the mailbox a month later. dude sends me a small bubble wrap package with a sweat arm band going from my wrist to my elbow saying something about God, haha da Fuk?. I bought a recliner couch, got a couple friends to bring it upstairs and now what do I got!!??!! nothing... my man, please hook me up. I got some five foot Scott speakers with 12s in em and my Yamaha amp ready to blow the roof off. I'll show you a video all set up rockin if you can help me out.
congratulations on going 1080p. watching you on an Optoma HD25e at 110in. That is a serious through distance. I know you can do 100in at 4ft but how much further back can you get and still do 100in?
im looking to get a mini projector and saw your 2016 video on the toumei c800i. i want to get it based on your review. but for the money is there somthing better right now or is the c8ooi still a good choice.
Hi the optoma projector hd29hst this one does a 100 inch at 1 metre is there a short throw projector that does a bigger screen at 1 metre for similar price from amazon UK
can you review a optoma uhd 60, and the compare it to this 1080 darbee? video gameplay and movie demos, and see how much better it is? or maybe the darbee could be just as good. That would be an awesome video if you could do that bro. keep up the great vids.
Sickkk.. Im so close to buying a new projector too. My first choice was the Optoma HD142x, Then between that or Optoma HD27, but now another option, the Optoma Darbee😫. Im mainly using it for movies and ps4. Any suggestions from anyone?
Then again, the Gt1080 darbee is $670+ While the 142x and hd27 are about $570. Might have to opt out the darbee😕😂.. any suggestions between the 142x and hd27
I have a problem man, can you help me? I watch your video reviews on my pico projector and bluetooth speaker. How can I compare the picture quality of the projector you're reviewing and the sound quality of the speaker you're reviewing to my projector and speaker if the picture and sound comes out from my devices? LOL Seriously though, whenever I get the chance to have my man's cave, I'll definitely buy a projector instead of a TV. Peace! 😁
Hello Congratulations on your channel, the truth is very good. I'm crazy looking for a good projector and I do not know which to choose, I see that you know a lot about projectors and I ask you to please help me decide. I really liked the projector that presented OPTIMA GT1080 darbe but I also like XGIMI H1 I know they are different but I really know that you know a lot about projectors and I would appreciate it if you give me a tip to be able to choose well. Thank you very much
How does it compare to the non Darbee model is what I want to know. From my experience, I bought both the gt1080 and the ht2150 to compare and it wasn't remotely close. Sent the Optoma back. Even though the Optoma says 3000 lumens, it really only has like 800 lumens of color, so it's bright, but VERY washed out looking compared to the Benq that has 2200 color lumens. Both have essentially the same input lag so gaming kicks ass. Unless Optoma somehow increased the color lumens dramatically I don't see it competing with the Benq.
If one wanted to play pc games or watch movies in 21:9 (2:35:1) what would be the best method? Using a 16:9 screen and having black bars? Or is there another method?
Hey do you think Optoma will come out with GT4K Projector. Optoma GT4K, I know the Optoma UHD 50 has some kind of 4k gaming mode. But I mean an actual 4k gaming projector would be nice. One can dream right👍🏾
does Optoma make a short throw like this in 4K ? I need something like this since my mounting area is at 10 feet. my other choice would be the epson 4010 pro UHD
I just brought this projector on Amazon & love it! Best projector i ever had~ before i went with a lot of the cheap projectors from China & dead pixels & finger prints & damage to the lens were very common.
How much did it cost 2 months ago? I was going to buy it this week and it went up in price. :(
I’m sold. I’m new to projectors and this is going to be my first one. I’m so stoked! Gonna pick it up next month! I can’t wait!
You gotta rotate.... that projector right on over to me.
Another outstanding review, keeping them entertaining and informative. Keep it up bro.
I'm ordering mine next weekend. I'm going to be using it specifically for gaming. Thanks for the cool review man.
You went from 720p to 1080p, is this the new standard for you man!
I was gonna buy the gt1080 but I'm glad I've waited because the new one just came out. hell yeah!
I just bought one, because of this review! Can't wait to try it out. Thanks for the great channel!!!!!!

Missing this content.
this was very helpful, thanks.
Hi mate, for casual day to day use and movies what do you advice this one or xgimi h1 or another one? Regards.great work :)
Snagged one on Amazon based on your review.

Loved the new studio
How sick is that! You gotta Rotate....
wow ... i so happy because this week my optoma gt1080 Darbee will arrival to my House ^_^
Thanks for the review! How are the black levels on the GT1080 w/Darbee?
Hey! Nice review man!
A question though; there is the older GT1080 and the newer GT1080e from optoma. Is this darbee based on the older 1080 or the newer 1080e model? I.e. is the gt1080 Darbee better than the 1080e? Or is there also a 1080e Darbee model?
I subbed just because of that excellent t-shirt!
awesome projector!
would love the optoma short throw
Hello Bro, I'm from Asia. Which will you choose? Optoma GT1080 Darbee 2017 or XGIMI H1 Aurora? I can't find any side by side comparison. Thanks in advance!

Ranin Zadviylet It just à cheap one for now, mademoiselle it with large sheets 3x6 but soon I'll get a custom made retractable screen

would u pick this projector or the benQ HT2150ST???
which one would u say is better..
+1 Same question. I wouldn't even be thinking about it, if Benq had a better product overview on their crappy webpage.
@@DiceMasterChannel jokers Ride MP4L. Finally which one did you buy?

hello its same gt1080 and gt1080e ? or is any difference I will be appreciate about answer
I've been hearing a lot of early bulb failure. What do you think about that?
Hey there, do you think this still stands as the best gaming projector at the moment?
I’ve been looking around and it’s so difficult to pick.

Could this projector set within 3-4 meters from the screen and still produce 100" picture or it's only for close range?
1 meter and you get 100"
congratulations on going 1080p. watching you on an Optoma HD25e at 110in. That is a serious through distance. I know you can do 100in at 4ft but how much further back can you get and still do 100in?

I'm going with the gt1080 darbee because I don't have a large room to put the projector in. it all depends on the space u have.
epson is better man !!!
how it is that? don´t you know about HD29 Darbee or HD39 DARbee
what screen do recommend

Hi how many inches is the projected screen height and width
Wondering what the power consumption is when running this projector?
Hey can some pls tell me if it can display at least 60 fps? is it 60 hz or 120 hz? PLEASE answer if u know btw the input is low but how much 30 ms?
Is it a good "3D" projector? Or are there any other better 3d projectors under 800 dollars?
which other optoma projectors are good for gaming with a budget of 300
Is this still the clearest 1080p or better projector under 600
If one wanted to play pc games or watch movies in 21:9 (2:35:1) what would be the best method? Using a 16:9 screen and having black bars? Or is there another method?
would you recommend this one or the epson 2045?
Hey is this with all the settings as standard out of the box or did you tweak them
I I have to place it further than needed for 70-100" can I still adjust the picture size?
Also what do u suggest is the best budget way to get 2.35:1 aspect ratio?
Do you have a top 5 gaming projectors? I would like to see that.
how is the audio on this projector? is it good enough or do you recommend a external sound system when gaming?
put me on bro looks dope
Do you have a screen or just use your wall, if you use a screen would you please recommend me one plz ( at least 120 inches)
Hey would you do a video on the HD29Darbee? Or maybe a comparison on the HT2050A and the HD29Darbee?
Is that good for movies too?
is it still best today for short throw?
I just need 2 know does it have Bluetooth? Can I connect speakers wirelessly?
Hey do you think Optoma will come out with GT4K Projector. Optoma GT4K, I know the Optoma UHD 50 has some kind of 4k gaming mode. But I mean an actual 4k gaming projector would be nice. One can dream right👍🏾
does Optoma make a short throw like this in 4K ? I need something like this since my mounting area is at 10 feet. my other choice would be the epson 4010 pro UHD
Casey, why isnt this your primary projector?
