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.

What customers like about Optoma X341

  • A picture up to 304 inch fills a large wall.
  • 3300 ANSI lumens is bright enough for a room that is not fully dark.
  • An external memory slot lets you show files without a laptop.
  • It can be mounted on a ceiling.
  • Noise of 29 dB keeps the projector quiet during a meeting.
  • The remote control lets you move through slides from across the room.

What customers don't like about Optoma X341

  • The 2 W speaker is too quiet for a large room.
  • The 1024x768 resolution is too low for sharp films or photos.
  • There is no Wi-Fi, so you connect by cable or memory slot.
  • It has only one HDMI port and one USB port.
  • At 230 mm tall it is bulky on a low shelf.

Verdict

With 3300 ANSI lumens, the Optoma X341 is a bright projector that throws a picture up to 304 inch. Its 1024x768 resolution is basic by today's standards, so it suits slides, documents and spreadsheets better than films. Two things set it apart. An external memory slot is handy for showing files without a laptop, and it can be mounted on a ceiling. The zoom ratio is only 1.1, so you must place the projector at the right spot to fill the wall. The built-in speaker is only 2 W, so most rooms will need separate speakers. At 2.17 kg it is easy to carry between rooms. It suits a teacher or a small office that needs a bright, simple projector for everyday presentations and does not need sharp detail.
