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 GT760

  • A 0.5 m minimum throw fits a small room.
  • 3400 ANSI lumens are bright enough for a dim classroom.
  • Stereo speakers are built in.
  • Ceiling mounting keeps it out of the way.
  • At 86 mm high it fits on a low shelf.
  • Noise of 29 dB stays out of the way in a meeting.

What customers don't like about Optoma GT760

  • The lamp is rated for only 4500 hours.
  • Input lag of 33 ms makes fast games feel slow.
  • The 2 W audio is too thin for a room, so a separate speaker helps.
  • At 2.55 kg it is heavy to move between rooms.
  • No Wi-Fi means streaming needs an outside device.

Verdict

Sitting only 0.5 m from the wall is enough for the Optoma GT760 to throw a picture up to 223 inch. Its 3400 ANSI lumens suit a room with the blinds half closed, and stereo speakers are built in. Ceiling mounting is possible, and at 86 mm high it fits on a low shelf. It runs at 29 dB, so the fan is easy to ignore in a classroom. The lamp is the main catch, rated at 4500 hours and 6000 in eco mode. It is a 2013 model, so there is no Wi-Fi and streaming needs an outside device such as a laptop. It suits a teacher, a small office or a home user who wants a bright picture on a wall and not much more.
