Optoma has picked up awards from bodies such as Red Dot and the iF foundation for making ML1080 and ML1080ST projectors that weigh only about 2lb (~907 grams (g)) apiece, yet are rated for "sharp color, incredible brightness, and flexible set-up features for various immersive installations and on-the-go professional environments".
To that end, they are equipped with an "RGB triple laser" system for "accurate, cinema-grade colors". The US-market ML1080 SKUs are rated to do with a 1,200-lumen brightness rating for "an unrivalled image performance compared with similarly sized projectors".
The projectors have a throw ratio of 1.2:1 (ML1080) to 0.78:1 (ML1080ST), enabling them to cast a 100-inch image on a wall that might be only 5 feet away. The new Optoma ML-series projectors boast HDMI 2.1 as an output as well as USB type-C (with a second such port for charging) as well as a mini-USB port for the R232 remote control adapter found in the box.
The Optoma ML1080 and ML1080ST can be ordered from now at 'asking street prices' of US$999 to US$1,149 respectively, albeit through pro-grade presentation outlets such as Adtech Systems for now. However, they may join their ML750 sibling on sites such as Amazon soon.
