Optoma X304M XGA 3000 Lumen 3D Projector

The Optoma X304M is a compact DLP projector designed for mobile professionals who need bright, reliable projection without the bulk. Built around a single 0.55" DC3 DMD chip from Texas Instruments, it produces 3000 ANSI lumens at its native XGA (1024x768) resolution, delivering clear, punchy images that hold up well in conference rooms and classrooms with ambient lighting. The 10,000:1 contrast ratio ensures decent separation between dark and light areas of the image, while the ability to accept input up to WUXGA (1920x1200) means it works seamlessly with high-resolution laptops even though it displays at its native XGA resolution.

Connectivity includes HDMI 1.4a with full 3D format support, VGA input, composite video, and audio in/out—covering the essentials for laptop presentations and legacy video sources. The 220W SHP lamp offers 5000 hours of life in ECO mode, keeping replacement costs manageable for regular use. At just 3.3 pounds and under 9 inches in its longest dimension, the X304M slips into a bag alongside a laptop with minimal added bulk, making it one of the more travel-friendly options in the 3000-lumen class. For users whose primary need is bright, portable projection for slides, charts, and presentations rather than cinematic home theater, it delivers where it counts.
