[Insert City, Country] – [Insert date] – Optoma, a global leader in projection, large-format and interactive display technologies — spanning digital signage, LED video walls, interactive flat panels and professional projectors for retail, education, corporate and public venues — today introduces three compact short throw projectors designed to bring brighter, sharper and more flexible big-screen experiences to golf simulation spaces, home entertainment rooms and professional environments.
Already established as one of the leading projector choices for golf simulation enthusiasts, Optoma’s latest line-up reinforces its commitment to the category with purpose-built models that deliver the brightness, accuracy and installation flexibility needed to create more immersive virtual golf experiences.
Optoma has expanded its short throw projection range with the GT2200HDR, ZH521ST and ZK521ST, three compact models built to support immersive golf simulation, flexible installation and high-impact viewing in everyday spaces.
As golf simulation continues to move from specialist venues into homes, training studios and multi-use commercial spaces, installers and consumers need projection technology that can deliver bright, accurate and dependable images from close range. Optoma’s latest short throw line-up responds to that demand with high brightness, compact form factors, long-life light sources and installation features designed for real-world environments.
The GT2200HDR offers a bright Full HD 4LED option for users looking for a compact, energy-efficient projector for golf, gaming, sport and home entertainment. Unlike many short throw projectors that use a fixed lens, the GT2200HDR features a 1.2x zoom lens and 0.69–0.82:1 throw ratio, giving installers added flexibility when positioning the projector and fine-tuning the image to suit different room layouts. The ZH521ST steps up performance with 5300 lumens, Full HD DuraCore laser technology and IP6X certification, while the ZK521ST brings True 4K UHD detail, 5000 lumens and HDR and HLG compatibility to more demanding simulation and professional applications.
For golf simulation, the ZH521ST and ZK521ST have been enhanced with a purpose-built 0.79:1 throw ratio and curated golf sim picture modes. Optoma has also worked closely with colour experts at GSPro to develop a dedicated GSPro mode, helping create a more immersive and true-to-life playing experience for virtual fairways, greens and practice environments.
Short throw projection is central to the range. By allowing large images from close to the screen or wall, each model helps reduce shadows and supports more practical installation in smaller rooms, simulator bays and shared spaces. The ZH521ST and ZK521ST also support 360-degree and portrait projection, giving installers greater flexibility when designing golf simulation environments or multi-purpose AV systems.
Alongside performance, Optoma has prioritised sustainability and ease of ownership. The GT2200HDR uses efficient 4LED technology, while the ZH521ST and ZK521ST feature DuraCore laser light sources for up to 30,000 hours of operation without the need for additional lamps. Each model is designed to reduce power consumption compared to lamp-based projectors, while offering the reliability required for regular use.
Control and management are also built in. The Optoma Smart Control App gives users the flexibility to power devices on and off, adjust volume, set display modes and make image corrections from a mobile device. For professional environments, the ZH521ST and ZK521ST also support Optoma Management Suite, enabling remote monitoring, scheduling and control to help reduce downtime and streamline operation.
With this expanded line-up, Optoma is addressing a growing need for projectors that can support entertainment, sport and simulation with the brightness, flexibility and reliability expected from modern projection. From entry-level Full HD 4LED performance to high-brightness Full HD laser and True 4K UHD laser projection, the GT2200HDR, ZH521ST and ZK521ST give users a choice of solutions for creating more convincing, practical and engaging golf simulation spaces.
