Advantages: good price, short throw,its white! good menu,and glow in the dark remote Disadvantages: fan noise occasionally irritating.
To understand my review it is fair to tell you what my previous projector was, an Infocus X1 .
The optoma seems to be lighter in construction, i cant get away from the feeling that its less robust than the infocus ( like a tank).

control allowing proper integration with integrated control systems such as AMX or Crestron as well as a web interface for monitoring over a network. There is also a USB port so the projector remote can be used to control your computer for powerpoint presentations for example.
Picture quality
The first thing you notice is the resulution that the full HD DLP chip brings to the EP1080. Even system graphics like the Optoma logo and the input information are crisp and clear. Plug in a laptop into the machine and you can put the resolution right up to 1080p and see full HD goodness from the internet such as BBC iplayer or Youtube HD.
