Short Throw Projection
The Optoma W309ST features a short throw lens, which allows it to project large images from a short distance. With a throw ratio of 0.52:1, it can produce a 100-inch image from just a few feet away. This is particularly useful in small spaces, reducing shadows and glare, and providing flexibility in projector placement.
High Brightness and WXGA Resolution
With a brightness of 3,800 lumens, the W309ST ensures bright and clear images even in well-lit environments. This makes it suitable for use in classrooms, conference rooms, and living rooms where ambient light may be present. The WXGA resolution (1280×800) delivers detailed and sharp visuals, making it ideal for presentations, movies, and educational content.
DLP Technology and 3D Capability
The W309ST uses DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology to provide high-quality images with excellent color accuracy and contrast.

Enhanced Audio and Built-in Speaker
The W309ST includes a built-in 10-watt speaker, providing decent audio output for presentations and media playback.
