Optoma Unveils the Multiple Award-Winning ML1080 and ML1080ST RGB Triple Laser Projectors

The ML1080 has been awarded the Infocomm 2023 Best of Show Award by ProjectorCentral.

Optoma at Infocomm introduced the Optoma ML1080 and the ML1080ST, first-of-their-kind portable, premium rgb triple laser projectors with a wide BT2020 color gamut normally only available in larger, more costly home theatre projectors. The ML1080 has been awarded the Infocomm 2023 Best of Show Award by ProjectorCentral.

These portable and compact projectors deliver sharp color, incredible brightness, and flexible set-up features for various immersive installations and on-the-go professional environments, the company says.

Built with RGB triple laser light source technology and full HD 1080p native resolution, the ML1080 and ML1080ST feature 1,200 lumens of brightness and produce accurate, cinema-grade colors to deliver an unrivalled image performance compared with similarly sized projectors. Available in 0.78:1 short throw ratio, the ML1080ST delivers an up to 100" image just 5' away from display surfaces, perfect for smaller meeting spaces and entertainment setups, the company says.

Weighing approximately 2lb for ultra-portability, both projectors provide easy setup virtually anywhere, from conference rooms to immersive art exhibits, the company says. The Optoma ML1080 and ML1080ST are equipped with time-of-flight (TOF) technology to deliver an unrivalled level of convenience with automatic geometric and focus correction to create a perfectly projected image within an instant, the company says. Plus, with four-corner correction for instant place-and-play, these projectors are the perfect solution for challenging installation environments or traveling professionals who require convenient set-up on-the-go. Home entertainment enthusiasts can take advantage of the convenient USB-C power input port, enabling them to use PD 3.0 portable charging batteries, to enjoy video content on-the-go for backyard movies, camping, vacation, and more.

Bearing the Optoma green promise commitment to design innovative products with sustainability in mind, the ML1080 and ML1080ST possess the lowest carbon footprint of any product within the optoma portfolio, utilizing 58% less electricity when compared to optoma's lamp-based projectors. The projectors utilize 50% post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials to ensure environmental sustainability.

Recognized by three prestigious international design award programs, including the if design, red dot design, and green good design awards, these projectors were designed with hidden assembly screws within the exhaust vent holes for seamless curved edges and feature a translucent top cover made from nanoimprint lithography for improved durability and a lower environmental impact.

With built-in smart functions, wirelessly sharing content is easy with Optoma's creative cast feature, allowing for simultaneous image, document, and screen sharing from up to four devices on one network. The projectors' signage mode enables instant slideshow functionality for images and videos. The ML1080 and ML1080ST also come with an adaptor for RS-232 control for all the benefits of remote-control capabilities, unlike similar compact models on the market.

"Compact projectors often excel in portability but under deliver on the color accuracy and high brightness needed for professional environments and entertainment installations, " says Billy Harrison, product manager, Optoma. "With the addition of our new optoma's ML1080 and ML1080ST projectors, we've introduced two options that shine when it comes to stunning colors and impressive brightness normally only found in more costly and larger home theater projectors.
