This is a really great projector, at a very impressive price (£529 on Play) - the cheapest WXGA I've seen! Many DLP projectors suffer from the "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. Out of the box, the picture is great. I found the yellows were maybe slightly muted but this can be adjusted by the on-screen menus. 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.
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?!
Overall, I am very pleased with this projector - it looks great, gives a fantastic picture, is easy to use and is excellent value for money!
Good review but could do with some more info to gain higher ratings. Take a look at other reviews to get an idea of the level of info that is needed to gain higher ratings. ~ Em. x
