Optoma ML1080 & ML1080ST Premium Portable Triple Laser Projectors Launched

Although portable and compact, weighing just 1kg, we're told that these projectors deliver sharp colour, incredible brightness and flexible setup features. They also look the part thanks to hidden assembly screws for seamless curved edges and a translucent top cover made from nanoimprint lithography for improved durability and a lower environmental impact.

Sporting RGB triple laser light source technology and Full HD 1080p native resolution, the ML1080 and ML1080ST feature 1200 lumens of brightness and, says the brand, "produce accurate, cinema-grade colours to deliver an unrivalled image performance compared with similarly sized projectors."

With an impressive 0.78:1 short throw ratio, the ML1080ST delivers up to 100-inch images from just over 1.5 metres away from display surfaces. The ML1080 is listed as 1.2:1. Additionally, both the ML1080 and ML1080ST are equipped with innovative Time-of-Flight (ToF) tech that's said to automatically sort geometric and focus correction to create a perfectly projected image almost immediately. There's also four-corner correction for instant place-and-play.

Connectivity includes a USB-C power input port, enabling PD 3.0 portable charging batteries should you bring the projectors outdoors or simply away from a handy power source. There is also USB-A power 1.5A alongside HDMI 2.1, USB-C, and Audio 3.5mm outputs.

You also benefit from built-in smart functions, including wireless sharing via Optoma's Creative Cast feature 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.

Available now, the ML1080 is priced at £959, and the ML1080ST is priced at £1,079 (inc. VAT).
