Lights on Entertainment
The GT720 produces fantastic images even when the
lights are on. Designed to be used in the same way
as your conventional TV, the high brightness GT720
can be used for television and film watching or playing
the latest motion-controlled games without even
dimming the lights.
Watch all your favourite
movies and TV shows in
stunning Widescreen HD
Huge Images in Small Spaces
The GT720 utilises a special lens to give you
a 120” image from less than 2m away; perfect for
shadow-free gaming with your Nintendo Wii, Xbox
Kinect & Playstation®Move. Alternatively, use the
extra-bright 2500 Lumens for an extra-large screen
- Home Cinema with a 5m screen is an awe-inspiring
experience of truly phenomenal proportions.
Thumping Audio
With powerful on-board 10 Watt stereo speakers, the
GT720 is the ultimate solution for portable gaming
or impromptu film screenings at a friend’s house. Feel
every explosion like you are part of the action - Easily
hook it up to your subwoofer to add that extra rumble;
essential for the greatest home cinema experience.

Shadow free gaming
With the advent of motion controlled gaming from the Playstation®3 Move, Xbox 360 Kinect and of course the
Nintendo Wii, gamers need, more than ever, to be on their feet. In the past, this might have been a problem,
as some projectors were positioned behind the player causing an on-screen shadow. Now, using a special
“short-throw” lens developed by Optoma, the GT720 can be placed much closer to your screen, eliminating
the shadow that might have made your motion-controlled gaming all but impossible.

3D motion-controlled gaming
Not only do new titles for Playstation®3 Move and Xbox 360 Kinect often
support motion-control, but many are in 3D too! Imagine being able to control
your avatar not only using “Kinect” or PS3™ Move but in stunning 3D as well.
Well now you can, simply add the Optoma 3D-XL adapter for the most incredible
3D motion-controlled experience.
Lights on-gaming
Traditional home cinema projectors are great when you have a controlled, dark environment for watching
films. When the lights go on to play motion controlled games with the PS3™ Move, Xbox 360 Kinect
or Wii, the image may suffer, appearing to be washed out and lacking definition. The GT720 has 2500
lumens of brightness providing enough light for a fantastic gaming experience even with the lights on.
