Why people buy
✓ 8,200 lumens floods sim screens even in bright rooms
✓ 0.75:1 short throw clears the swing zone in tight bays
✓ 30,000-hr laser, IP5X dust-sealed engine rated for 24/7
✓ Motorized zoom + V/H lens shift ease ceiling alignment
Trade-offs
• No published input lag — unproven for fast sim graphics
• $7,499 — commercial-install pricing
• WUXGA 1920x1200 max — no native 4K
• 36 dB fan noise audible in quiet rooms
The fine print
Optoma publishes no input lag figure for the ZU820TST — it is an installation projector, not a gaming model; verify latency before committing it to sim play.
