Very Good Projector for the Money June 9, 2010
Jonathan Gunnarson (Minnesota)
I purchased this projector about 1 year ago. I use it mainly for playing XBOX 360. I am extremely impressed with the brightness(I have a room with no windows, but this projector is still bright enough to see decently with the room light on). The picture quality isn't quite as good as a 1080i HDTV, but at the price, it's PLENTY good. I currently have the picture in widescreen format at about 82-1/2"....trust me, this size of picture with the great picture quality, makes a HUGE difference when playing games like Modern Warfare 2....you can take out snipers from across the map with a gun using just the iron sights!
The connection that I use from my XBOX is the VGA...you will probably want to buy a 25' VGA extender to connect to the projector...I currently have my XBOX 360 at the front of the room. You can get a VGA extender pretty cheap, but you will want to make sure the the quality is decent. The initial one that I bought was pretty worthless...picture was decent, but there was a pretty intense "double image". I bought a better quality VGA extender, and what a difference it made! I also have my Wii hooked to the AV plug in the back....the Wii doesn't have great graphics to begin with, so this isn't a big deal.
One of the best benefits of this projector is the portability...When traveling, most of my buddies (even the ones with HDTV's), require that I bring my projector. It's like gaming in a movie theater!!
This projector is a little bit noisy, but nothing that will deter from your movie or gaming experience. I highly recommend this if you are on the fence between getting a $2,000 HDTV....save the money and get this projector...you won't be disappointed.
The only thing that is keeping me from giving this 5 stars, is a slight horizontal line towards the top of the picture. I usually don't even notice it, and haven't taken the time to check with Optoma on getting it fixed.
 Ultra Portable. Easy to use!!!! December 21, 2009

Highly recommended projector. Ultra portable and very good image, and most important is that the price is very affordable.

The only thing worse than a product that's dead on arrival is a product that's not quite dead enough on arrival...
I bought the projector in July, but didn't need it right away. I turned it on, it worked, I turned it off. Elapsed time about a minute.
Last week I pulled it out for a client meeting. It fired up, displayed a nice image, and then... dark. The LEDs started flashing, a code with means "Fan3 error." Helpful. So now I'm projector-less, waiting to see what Optoma's response is, and dreading a RMA.
I'll re-review the projector when I get a replacement, but an out-of-the-box fan error doesn't speak well for Optoma's quality control.
** UPDATE **
Got an RMA from Optoma, and sent the projector back. I was stuck with shipping. Turnaround was about a week. The projector itself works well, but is a little noisy. All in all, a decent product, with OK support. I've changed my review from 1 star to 3 stars.

The projector performs very well. It is lightweight and bright enough for conference rooms. The only problem was with the shipment of the product. We ordered the equipment with overnight delivery for a meeting and the equipment did not show up. The explanation was bad weather.

This is a great projector for the money. It has plenty of light output and good resolution for on-screen viewing. It is used in a small room and we are able to see the screen vividly at the close range. There is a wide array of connectors to suit about any type of input. Would recommend this projector.
