Optoma OMA-S ML 1080 ST Projector is an excellent example of how good technology can enable power and portability simultaneously. However, while testing the projector, I used it only as a domestic entertainment setup, it can work easily and very well as a portable solution for function presentations. I used it as a replacement of television in my bedroom. I was projecting on the 100-inch withdrawal projector screen, and every part of the two-month review period was enjoyable.

When it comes to scenes, the projector provides a lot

At the beginning of the test, my focus first went to the image quality provided by the projector. Optoma OMA-S introduces acute, full-HD view. The colors are alive which are actually pop. During the test period, I saw a lot of material using the projector – and I mean a lot of materials. Whether watching Il Postino of 1994 or watching Wes Anderson’s film, the experience was very deep. Even when I saw the third swear of 1966, the details were clearly visible in the scene. This is thanks to its 1080p resolution and the brightness of 1,500 lumen. This also helps that the projector provides a contrast ratio of 3,000,000: 1.

It is very easy to set a projector

Optoma OMA-S1080STs provide ports for USB Type-C, HDMI and USB Type-A that allows you to power to devices such as Chromecast or Amazon Fire TV Stick. I have connected 4K Fire TV Stick through the projector’s HDMI port – – it was uninterrupted. I also tested the projector with an old Windows laptop. The setup was easy and did a great job. Projector also supports Mac – I have connected it to M1 MacBook Air. I like the flexibility provided by the projector in terms of connectivity and setup. The thing to make it even better is that it powers the dongle through its USB Type -A port, for this you do not require additional power socket – which always has a problem.

Compact and portable

One of the extraordinary features of optoma Oma-S 1080st is its portability. Its weight is less than 1 kg. And if you have a medium to larger backpack or medium -sized tot, you can easily fit into a bag.

Also, most of the portable-made projectors come with a built-in battery, but optoma has adopted a different view and I think it is more smart. The OMA-S 1080st comes with a USB Type-C power input, which allows you to power the device with the power bank-just make sure that it gives a speed of 65W or more. I used it with my Xiaomi’s 20,000mAh power bank, and I was going to use the projector with it for a few hours – about two hours. And it made me think that if you suddenly want to go out on a movie date, it is a very good tool to take with you.

Who does not like the remote?

Remote no longer seem to be an exciting engagement, but the facility of basic remote control support is always appreciated by users. The OMA-S comes with a remote control that makes it quite simple to navigate through control and normal interfaces. The remote uses a dual IR receiver forward and back, meaning that you do not need to indicate it on the projector – which seems very unknown, especially in domestic entertainment setup – you can use it from any angle Are. Auto keystone improvement is one more thing that makes the projector so easy. A quick setup with it makes the screen very good without struggling with manual adjustment. If you want to project at an angle then auto kestone is particularly a boon. Like me, if you also had dreams “I would like to keep TV on my roof” then make them realize with such tools.

Although optoma is a lot worth liking about the OMA-S1080 ST projector, but I have a problem with it. It uses an built -in 3W speaker, which is generally suitable for viewing or presentations, but if you are planning to use the projector as a TV replacement, then you are a little disappointed with the audio output Can feel – especially during large rooms or action -intellectual scenes. But I like optoma OMA-S despite that defect because it facilitates connecting the outer speaker or soundbar via Bluetooth or 3.5 mm audio jack.

Should you buy optoma Oma-S 1080S Projector?

Optoma Oma-S ML 1080st is priced at Rs 1,75,000. Yes, it looks expensive. And perhaps this is, but the power in this small projector makes it really worth money. It has some impressive features, it is portable and easy to use.

Features such as its power bank compatibility and innumerable connectivity options make it different in the crowded projector market. While the built -in speaker may be better, the option to connect the external audio device does not make it a problem.

Overall, the optoma OMA-S ML 1080 ST creates a good balance between projector performance and portability. Despite the price tag, I think this is an excellent investment if you are looking for a launch for some high quality scenes, whether for work or entertainment.
