Optoma ZU820TST

Overview

The Optoma ZU820TST is a high-performance short-throw laser projector designed to deliver bright and sharp images in professional settings. With 6900 ANSI lumens and a WUXGA resolution of 1920 x 1200, it produces vibrant visuals that remain clear even in well-lit environments. Its short-throw lens allows placement close to the screen, making it ideal for tight spaces or setups with limited distance.

This projector excels in applications such as simulation, edge blending, and projection mapping, where precise image alignment and flexibility are essential. The fully motorized lens shift, zoom, and focus simplify installation and adjustments, while the DuraCore laser technology ensures a long lifespan of up to 30,000 hours with minimal maintenance. Additional features like 360-degree projection and portrait mode support expand creative possibilities for immersive presentations and large-scale visual installations.

Performance and reliability

Thanks to its DuraCore laser technology, the ZU820TST delivers consistent brightness and color accuracy over an extended lifespan of up to 30,000 hours. The IP5X dust resistance rating protects internal components from dust ingress, which is especially valuable in environments prone to airborne particles. This durability reduces downtime and maintenance costs, ensuring reliable operation in demanding professional environments such as simulation centers and museums.

Ideal uses and environments

This projector is well suited to professional environments that require bright, detailed images and flexible installation options. It works well in simulation rooms, corporate presentation spaces, museums, and large-scale visual installations where precise image alignment and multi-projector setups are needed. Its short-throw capability and motorized lens controls make it a strong choice for venues with limited space or complex projection requirements.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
