For 720P at this price you will not be dissapointed. It looks better than my 1080P Sony 120Z. I painted my theatre room a deep grey and it helps tremendously with keeping light from bouncing around. Even during the day light hours it gives off a good picture. I have watched blu rays, the super bowl, and a standard dvd upscaled to 720P. This projector gives off a beautiful picture, is compact, and is really not all that noisy. All have looked phenomenal. I have it shining on a 106 inc screen and it looks great.
The zoom feature is almost non-existent. It also has a feature that will allow you to crop the edges a little bit - this helped me fit to the screen perfectly.Rainbow effect - I haven't had this issue at all. the 720P in the title is just the "native" resolution.As for others' review comments regarding:Remote back-light - It is bright, but how much do you use the remote.Zoom really small - Yep, this is true. It runs 1080P just fine. At the time I purchased this from Amazon, they were offering a $350 projector screen for free, so I just couldn't pass that up. I did lots of research on HD projectors under $1000. Otherwise, I would have opted for the HD66 for the added lumens.I watch blu-ray movies at 1080P with this projector. You'd better know how far away from your screen you need to put it.
Great 720i picture for $650.The only difficultly we had was installing it. The ceiling mount we already own came with three different-sized bolts, but all were too big.I had to go to a hardware store and purchase new bolts.I cannot rate the reliability after only one month, will comment again after one year.
The price was incredible. Apparantely the HD65 does this a lot.
Well i pray that i get a new one or they will fix this one for me. I've emailed optoma with the issue and still no word back.
I found on some forums that people had the same problem. Apparently everytime i turn it on i can hear the fan, i don't think there is anything wrong with it, i think maybe with the sensor.
I bought this projector about a month ago. Within a week after roughly watching 5 movies when pressed on button to turn the projector on the blue screen came on and the next thing it said "Warning Fan Locked" and turned off automatically.
It hasn't been more than a week and my brand new item does not work.
The picture is definitely HD quality. I've only had this product for a month and have maybe put 20 hours on it so far. The only thing I wasn't expecting was that we have no sound for our PS3 games. Just a suggestion: You have to have a receiver with HDMI hookups (in and out) in order to hear PS3 games. We are looking forward to taking it outside one night this upcoming summer and watching a movie on a huge screen on the side of our house. The price of the projector is excellent on amazon.com.
We have the projector running a 143 inch screen. Eventually we'll buy the ceiling mounts, but for now it's just sitting on a table. We have just been running it on our white wall. I can now say that I am positive I made the right choice. But, that is because we have an old receiver that doesn't have any HDMI hookups on it. DVD's play fine.
We have not had any problems or concerns with the projector so far. It took only minutes to set up. I've heard other people say the bulb doesn't last as long as the company claims. I researched other companies and found that most other places were consistently $100 - $200 more than amazon.com. I will update later on down the road if I run into any issues with the bulb. Everything is easily explained in the manual (not that you even need the manual).
The projector really is amazing. We put the projector in our basement so there would be less light. The hookups are self-explanatory. We can't hear it at all while watching movies.I would highly recommend buying this item if you are in the market for a quality projector, but don't want to spend a huge amount of money. The projector noise is quiet. I bought this projector for my husband for Christmas after researching and reading about several different projectors.
When we watch movies during the day (with the blinds closed) the picture is still clear, unless it's a dark scene, then it's hard to see (but that will happen on any TV). We hooked our DVD player/receiver into the projector and can watch movies with no problem.
