Third-party reviews

What customers like about Optoma ZU607tST

  • High brightness of 6,000 lumens allows for clear viewing even with ambient light
  • Short-throw lens (0.58:1 ratio) can project a 100-inch image from just over a metre away
  • Durable IP6X-certified dust-resistant optical engine suitable for 24/7 operation
  • Excellent installation flexibility with 360-degree and portrait projection support
  • Maintenance-free laser light source with a lifespan of up to 30,000 hours
  • Good connectivity options including HDBaseT 3.0 and dual HDMI 2.0 ports

What customers don't like about Optoma ZU607tST

  • Reported performance issues at 120Hz, including significant dimming and a pinkish hue
  • Average black levels compared to some competing 3LCD technology
  • Lack of built-in wireless streaming or integrated smart TV features
  • Integrated 15W speakers are adequate for small rooms but lack impact for large venues
  • Manual focus and zoom settings rather than motorised controls

Verdict

The Optoma ZU607TST is a high-brightness WUXGA (1920x1200) short-throw laser projector featuring 6,000 lumens and a 300,000:1 contrast ratio, designed for professional environments like museums and classrooms. Key characteristics include 4K and HDR10/HLG compatibility, a durable IP6X-rated dust-resistant optical engine, and an impressive 30,000-hour maintenance-free laser life. Its 0.58:1 short-throw ratio allows for a 100-inch image from just over a metre away, complemented by versatile installation tools like 360-degree orientation, portrait mode, and manual horizontal/vertical lens shift. Main pros include its exceptional brightness for 'lights on' viewing, robust 24/7 operational capability, and advanced connectivity via HDBaseT 3.0. However, potential cons include the lack of built-in wireless networking and common professional limitations such as average black levels and a lack of motorised zoom.
