Projectors > Optoma Projectors

Great, with a few hiccups..

Advantages: Great picture quality, especially from HD sources..
Disadvantages: few niggles, poor power connection

...back after a recommendation for optoma DLP projectors. Was also reasonably priced for a HD projection system. Have this hooked up to my PS3 though its HDMI connection at present and it works like a dream, the picture quality is amazing in HD. Watching Bluerays is like being in the cinema. It is possible to use during the day as long as it is not too bright and the projected surface is not in direct light. Have also connected via my laptop and the ...
...slight problem with the power cable, loose connection, however I got this replaced and has caused me no problems since. The projector has also kept telling me the bulb is reaching the end of its useful life, so I bought a new bulb. however it is still working 6 months after warning me. In my opinion it is a great little projector for home cinema use. ...

Review of Optoma MovieTime DV11

MP772ST is a great short throw projector

Advantages: Incredibly convenient and great quality projection, has short throw technology
Disadvantages: doesn't come with any input cables

I own and manage a small business selling electronics parts to various technology companies, so I require a projector that combines high quality, durability, and portability. I will first say that short throw technology's usefulness cannot be overstated. I take it everywhere with me, making pitches and presentations that require a large amount of flexibility as far as screen size and inputs. Although most people use a D-sub input, I have run into ...
...it is handy to have that option. For the most part though, I do bring my own laptop and rely on that for presentations. As far as screen size, I've projected on screens from as small as 50" to as large as 250". The adjustment is quite intuitive, and with a bit of practice it becomes a less than one minute process of finding the perfect picture. The MP772ST projects everything in great quality, including video and text. With its flexibility and all ...

Review of BenQ MP772ST

About as good as it gets

Advantages: Image brightness, Picture quality, Build quality, Reliability.
Disadvantages: Very heavy, very expensive

This is the kind of projector that you wouldn't imagine is easy to review, there's so many good sides, with one major downside which is hopefully justified by the good sides. This is a machine which has been designed and built without compromise in any area and has lots of innovation to improve the reliability and versatility of this machine. This is a 10000 lumen full HD chipped projector which is ideally suited to large screen home cinema applications ...
...source you put into this machine it makes the best use of it and reproduces it absolutely faithfully. From standard composite video, right up to full HD Blue-Ray via the DVI input the picture is stunning. The image is produced by a 3 DLP chip system, one for red, green and blue parts of the image. This means you get the image quality and colour reproduction of LCD, with the contrast and durability of DLP. This also means this projector is ideally ...

Review of Panasonic PT-DW10000

Mini LED Projector with USB connectivity!

Advantages: LED bulb, quick on quick off, USB connectivity
Disadvantages: Wish it was offered in multiple colors

...that’s when I found the BenQ GP1. Of course, you can’t compare the performance between the GP1 and the HD20, but I got to say, for the price you pay for the GP1 and the size and weight of it, it really is an amazing mini projector. Although only with 100 lumens, it is 100 lumens of LED (RGB not white) lamination, and I must say if you compare it with standard LCD or DLP 100 lumens, the LED’s 100 lumens are quite a few multiples higher. And the device ...
...Another great thing is that the GP1, being LED, is able to have instant on/off capabilities, which saves a lot of time. And you can forget about changing bulbs, as LED bulbs will last at least 20,000 hours. The best part about the GP1 is that it comes equipped with a USB port and I also bought the extra adapter for iPod /iPhone connectivity so I could just plug in my iPhone and play movies onto the wall whenever and wherever I want. That’s the great ...
