What it is
Average grade from independent test sites, magazines and video reviewers, 1–10.
How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves. Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Score: The average grade is 80% of the review mark; the number of reviews is the other 20% (1 review = 5, the typical number in this category = 8, the most-reviewed model = 10).
Enough data: With few reviews, the average grade is pulled toward the typical grade of this category. No reviews yet: 7.8 for now.

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Optoma GT1070Xe

  • The 0.5 m minimum throw lets it sit close to the wall.
  • A 26 dB fan is quiet enough for film nights.
  • 2800 ANSI lumens gives a bright picture up to 300 inch.
  • It supports 3D format films.
  • It can be mounted on a ceiling.
  • A built-in 10 W speaker gives sound for a small room.

What customers don't like about Optoma GT1070Xe

  • Input lag of 33 ms slows down fast games.
  • At 2.65 kg it is heavy to move between rooms.
  • Its HDMI 1.4 connection is older than current standards.
  • It is limited to 1080p, so it cannot show 4K content.
  • There is no Wi-Fi built in.

Verdict

Quiet running and a short throw distance set the Optoma GT1070Xe apart. It shows 1080p pictures up to 300 inch with 2800 ANSI lumens. It can sit as close as 0.5 m to the wall, which suits a small room. The fan runs at 26 dB, so it stays out of the way during a film. It is also ceiling-friendly and supports 3D. The input lag of 33 ms is high for fast games, and this model dates from 2014. The 2.65 kg body is heavy for moving between rooms. The lamp is rated for 5000 hours. Two HDMI ports let you keep a console and a player plugged in. It suits a family that wants a simple projector for movies and TV in a living room, not for fast gaming.
