Advantages: Great picture, little rainbow effect, good looking projector. Disadvantages: No internal speaker
..."rainbow effect" but with this Optoma there is virtually no rainbow effect at all - this is due to the 4x speed colour wheel, which is faster than you would find in many other projectors.

It really is wonderful to watch a movie, or play a game on a projector - you get an 80", 90" or 100" image from something that costs the same as a decent 37" LCD TV - bargain or what?!

The actual projector looks very sleek - the black and silver case looks really classy - and it comes with all the inputs you could want, expect SCART, but don't worry - a SCART adapter comes in the box. Being HD ready, it's also got an HDMI port for your HD-DVD or Blu-ray. The remote is easy to use, and the buttons light up so you can see them in a darkened room. Thankfully the remote seems to be very powerful too - you don\'t actually need to point it at the projector for it to work. In operation, the Optoma is quiet, particularly in the "normal" brightness setting.

Quick review of Optoma HD720X
Great projector, got it set up with a screen size of 77 inches to play on a motorized screen but works fine on a light wall. No colour problems, i use it for normal tv and for the ps3, and it great. Good for everyday use, if you dont mind turning on a number of items to get it started-sound sys and sky/ps3 and then projector. Cant fault it, only slight down side is it uses quite abit of power-You can watch your meter zoom around, but its worth it with the picture. ...

Even the most seasoned gamer demands play with crisp high definition imagery on a screen of billboard proportions... in other words, with the HD720X projector. Prepare to engulf your surroundings in life-size detailed pictures, with digital quality HDMI input the minute you hook up the HD720X to a Playstation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii - the works. The fantastic image quality of the Optoma HD720X gaming projector produces immediate, startling colors and graphics with its Native 720p widescreen high definition. That means Sky HD, Freeview and HD DVD recorders add to its pure entertainment value. Making the largest big screen TV's seem small with an image that can fill a wall, the Optoma HD720X will immerse you in the action. Stand center field in sports events and center stage in movies, for home leisure the HD720X's vision is compelling.
