MY current projector is a Optoma HD65. I am looking to upgrade in the next week or so.

How To Activate Windows Phone 7 On Hd28dse

I've been looking at the Optoma HD141x, HD26 - BenQ 1070 and 1075. I think I have it narrowed down to the HD26 and 1075. I am just torn. I love the $699 price of the HD26 but from looking in these forums its been put down for its color wheel and bulb wattage.

I do like the idea of horizontal correction in the 1075 as it will make the mounting a little easier, but not sure its worth the $400 extra. Does anyone have any input? Is the 3200 ANSI on the HD26 going to be much brighter than the 1075 2200 ANSI I have a feeling that either are going to be a huge improvement over the HD65 Thanks all. I have been auditioning the HD26 and HT1075 for the past couple of weeks. The HT1075 is by far a better projector. The image the HD26 provides is 'lifeless' in comparison and the Benq is much brighter.

If you don't think you'll need the wireless availability of the HT1075, go with the cheaper W1070. I auditioned it as well a few months ago. Pretty much the same as the HT1075. Bakesy it looks like you've just-about tested every sub-$1.5k DLP projector on the market! Real-world feedback is nice, thanks for sharing. IIRC you also tried the HD131x? How did it compare to the HD26?

(The HD26 seems to be the non-online-version of the HD141x; making it the 131's successor.) As AV says, the color-wheel choice in both means that 50% of the wheel (the non-RGB segments) are unable to produce the full color gamut so it follows that color brightness would suffer. Was the HD26 at least an improvement? On the subject, if brightness is your thing, you might also want to look into Optoma's HD36 which has an exceptionally bright lamp mated to an RGBRGB wheel. German forums seem to indicate that it might be a bit too bright for pitch-black viewing even in Eco (and the AVForums review compared it's PQ overall to the HD26 - despite the two claiming different wheels); but it still could be worth a look if it's available in your region.

You know, while you're auditioning One user here found fan noise too loud but seemed otherwise satisfied with PQ. Of course settling on the HT or W series seems to have proven to be a relatively safe bet for most. I'd like to see the W1070 phased out and the HT1075 take it's price-point.

At which point I might get one for my other room. You will want to go with the Benq due to way, way, way, way better colors. The color wheel it uses has been redesigned by Nasa engineers to show an extra color outside of the normal range that most are not able to see but are now able to with the BenQ. The color wheel is also able to triple the advertised lumens due to the speed. It is in effect 68 times brighter than the Optomas. Here is a screen shot comparison of a capture of Toy Story 3 of the Benq and the Optoma so you can see yourself.

BenQ out of the box with eco mode And the Optoma after calibration and with brightness at max Clearly the Optomas colors are all over the place and even with zero ambient light, I had to add an additional optoma projector overlaying the image on full brightness just for the picture to show up enough for the photo.All the reviews are going to agree that the BenQ is really the only sub $1000 projector to own. The Optomas don't even come close. Some of the local theaters are now using the BenQ 1070 because of the supreme brightness, and color accuracy.

Plus the new fans on the 2015 models are rated at 2db even at max load! Lol, Agent8's alternated back to 'bashing'.

Wake me up when his pendulum has swung to 'praising' again: I can't keep track anymore. Zebidou81, could you elaborate with a link? Considering the major similarities between the HD26 and significantly-cheaper HD141x (they're the same hardware with a different-color case), I can't imagine why anyone would recommend the HD26 over it. Unless the recent fan-noise issues are exclusive to the HD141x. Also in this category the more logical competition to the Optoma would actually be the HT1075 rather than the two-year-old W1070.

In any case, the Optoma gives a perfectly agreeable (and reasonably accurate) picture provided you're using its Reference/Cinema mode. That cuts light output to 1000 lumens at full lamp (dimmer than either BenQ after calibration - in its Eco lamp mode!), but for driving smaller screens (under 110', or larger with some gain), it's irrelevant: it'll do the trick.

Provided you're not sensitive to RBE (a department in which the BenQ's have a major advantage due to - yup, you guessed it - it's twice-as-fast color wheel). For longer-throw requirements where tons of brightness isn't required, the Optoma HD141x is a decent (and fairly well-priced) option. If you need brightness to run a larger screen (with a few lumens to spare for when the lamp ages or viewing in ambient light), you'd be wiser to go for the BenQ. You'll get a bit more real-world contrast and a lot more real-world video-watching brightness. This is objective, measured fact: but I guess it's untrue to say it matters to everyone, because it doesn't.

Just to be clear, 5% bashing, 95% 4 da lulz. I couldn't help myself. I was hoping some poor soul would take it serious and start an interwebnet fight over a cheap projector but I digress. Maybe it was an isolated case but I found the hd26 better in all regards over the 141x. I have called Optoma and they have stated that it is not only the case that is different and on paper, the specs are in fact better but since I have no intention of taking mine apart, I can't say for certainty. The picture was very similar, maybe a little brighter and the fan was measurable quieter as mentioned on my other posts.

I will say that the biggest reason I chose the h26 was because of the fan noise of the 141x and the case color. Yes, the BenQ is a great projector but I'm not going to butter it up more than it actually is. I would love to have a blind test (include ear plugs if it is anything like the 1070 and the 141x I have heard lol) and see just how many people think that it 'Blows away' the optoma or can tell a difference. They are very close and I am willing to bet that the OP would be happy with either. My new recommendation is get whatever is on sale or on the throw you need. And I'm sorry if my post above made anyone butt-hurt but I am still ROFLTACOING at it.

(That's when you roll on the floor loling so hard, you almost make tacos) I certainly won't deny that there was at least a bit of entertainment value to your post, I may have chuckled a bit! Ms Office 2007 For Mac Torrent Download. With regards to the differences between the HD141X and HD26, Optoma themselves have publicly side-stepped the question: With their last-year's pair of their inexplicably-differently-priced models (ie, the HD25e and HD131Xe), other users also took the liberty of tearing-down: and the results were identical; bar for different case color (and price!), everything else was identical. One user even loaded the HD25e's firmware onto the cheaper model - no image differences either: Heck, maybe if you'd loaded HD26 firmware onto your HD141X it'd have quietened the fans for you and you'd have saved a few hundred dollars!!

Holy smoke, seriously that might've worked! Right I'm out, hitting the beach with the kids ('supposed' to be on holiday. Wife's physically repossessing my phone! They did in fact sidestep the question. 'In general, when we release a product with higher specs or additional features, the price will be higher than a product with lower specs or less features.

For example, a projector with lens shift will general cost you a bit more than one without.' So is does it fall in the 'general' category? Well, I wish I had tried that, I could have saved a little bit of cash and rattle canned the black case and been just as happy.

I was also afraid that I was pushing my luck returning a third 141x since the store was exchange only and they did me a solid giving me store credit. I have seen the BenQ get pretty cheap and Amazon sometimes offers a $50 gift card with the Optomas. Again, I would get an alert set up on slickdeals and wait for a deal you can wait a little and get the one that is the cheapest. Just as an FYI, I just got an alert for the 141x. It is $540 on Newegg. I'd never recommend any projector purchase via Flash due to their useless return policy (you've had personal negative experience with this exact kind of thing, on your previous two Optoma HD141X's): especially a DLP (what if you see rainbows? This is even bigger a likelihood with the Optoma than the BenQ.) Seems that refundable pricing is actually $600.

That's within spitting distance of the BenQ W1070 on Amazon (around 10% difference - it's the cheapest I've seen the BenQ); so the BenQ would be my recommendation at this point regardless of budget. Incidentally if you check up recent Amazon user reviews of the two BenQ models (particularly the newer HT1075), there're a ton of first-hand user reviews directly comparing to the Optoma. Almost every one favours the BenQ by a significant margin. At the current close pricing, it doesn't make tons of sense to go HD141X (this used to be a large differentiating factor in the Optoma's favor: not so much anymore). Maybe I'm not seeing it. I read all of amazons reviews on the 1075. I saw that 2 people favored it over the optoma (and one said they didn't recommend it, just thought the colors and blacks were better) and a 3rd person clearly had dynamic black on and didn't like it or had enough knowledge to change the setting and thus bought a Benq instead.

If that constitutes 'a ton' then I could say that there are a 'ton' of reviews on the benq with dust blobs and scrolling lines. I could also say a ton of people prefer the Optoma. There are actually quite a few reviews out there where people prefer the Optoma over the BenQ. Not trying to rub anyone wrong but it seems that the opinions are not landslides as many suggest on here. It's hard for me to try and defend the 141x because I have freely admitted that the 2 I owned were bad experiences mostly because of the fan but on the other hand, all the facts point to the HD26 being the same exact projector and I love it. I also agree that if I had to do it all over again, I would not have went through Newegg because of their return policy.

I have spent thousands building computers and buying parts from them so I was hoping they would cut me some slack and they did but I wanted to throw it out there. I guess my sarcasm in past posts and why I am still scratching my head is because I really don't see that much difference between the two. I have watched both for quite a while and I just don't see where one projector is all that better than the other.

Maybe videophiles are crazy picky? I am an audio guy and I can hear the difference and appreciate a difference in many products. I just don't see it with the BenQ unless you literally have a meter with you. When I read reviews and people say that they tried to get the colors to match the BenQ with the Optoma and it can't and thus the BenQ is better, it boggles my mind. If someone told me they were trying to get a pair of similarly priced speakers to sound the same, I would tell them they are wasting their time. Different speakers have different characteristics. I understand that more accurate is more accurate and no one is arguing that with a meter, the BenQ has to be better but I don't see it as a detectable thing.

In audio, there are some noobs that swear they can hear the difference between certain sample rates and they come off looking like fools because time and time again, it has been proven in blind tests that there is not a detectable difference. It feels like that is the case. I am leaving myself an out because, as I stated, I am more of an audio guy but I don't see these huge differences that some people are talking about.

I've seen the pics and a few videos with the projectors supposedly side by side and I swear,even with Optoma fanboys they make those projectors look pretty bad to try and win a vote. Maybe my eyes are going bad along with some others.

I guess ignorance is bliss? That's why I gave up a while back and just started saying 'just go with the BenQ', it's just easier to be a lemming and maybe they will start kicking down a check if I keep it up. Hi Could somebody help me? I bought a optoma gt1080 projector and 3 glasses to playing game on Pc in 3D First somehow I could use by 3DTV PLAY nividia but alredy 14 days are gone and I really don't know how can I use it by simple 3D vision or by any other software. I just want play on my PC in 3D with all of my games.

I have GTX 770 if this is matter something. I bought this type of glasses: ZF2100 and I bought that emitter small black box I don't have any idea how does it working. But one thing is sure it isn't working I just plug it to the projector and it gave me blue light before but I read it has more functions but anyway didn;t matter how I pushed that button I have changed nothing I got same light. All led was blue. You will want to go with the Benq due to way, way, way, way better colors. The color wheel it uses has been redesigned by Nasa engineers to show an extra color outside of the normal range that most are not able to see but are now able to with the BenQ.

Wow the picture that is supposed to be the optoma hd26 sure looks absolutely nothing like mine, i would say my optoma looks much better than the first picture after calibration and i actually watched Toy Story 3 the other day. I can honestly say the Optoma Hd26 is my first projector and it was a toss up of the Optoma hd26 or the Benq 1070 which was £150 cheaper from Richer Sounds but i chose the more expensive optoma after playing with both.

I also own a 55' 4k Samsung tv that i purchased last june but i can honestly say that i hardly ever use the tv now and it was 4-5 times more expensive, i prefer to use the Optoma projector day or night and it sits directly opposite a 6+foot bay window with direct light and i still have no problem with the projector.

In all fairness to AGENT8, when i evaluated the hd26 side by side against the ht1075, i thought the ht1075 won hands down. After spending more than an hour adjusting the hd26 picture, Reference mode was the only mode i could tolerate. And even then i couldn't get a satisfying amount of color without blowing out the highlights. Here's the Kicker, I hated the hd26, but my friend loved it. He said the hd26 had more dimension to the picture, while the ht1075 looked flat.

I thought he was crazy, but the guy from the store's audio department came over and liked the hd26 better also. So there you go.

Lol, if you got your projector looking better than the first pic, I'd contact Pixar to notify them you've exceeded reference - because that's a stock image from the movie As above, it's odd to pick the significantly-more-expensive HD26 when the HD141X is notably cheaper and otherwise identical (save for case color).

I thought he was crazy It's curious, that, Ben. Do you think the BenQ might've been too bright? Was it down to black levels (I believe the Optoma has a slight advantage here, though I couldn't detect it in practice)? Normally I associate the term 'flat' with 'low-contrast': but the BenQ is higher-contrast in practice. Was it the more 'showroom'-like representation of color, perhaps? I've seen both in action recently and I share your own opinion. As noted in other posts, it has been suggested that the 141x recently had a firmware fix for the loud fan.

Had I obtained the firmware and somehow installed it in my 141x, had the fan quieted down and bought a can of white spray paint, I would probably been just as happy. The specs on paper are different and when I called Optoma, they stated that it was not only the case that was different. I am not about to open mine up to see. Some have claimed they have taken it apart and it is the same however, I have read reviews that get different results from the two. The cost was only slightly higher in my case and the white color alone made my wife happy so it was worth it. I also bought an angled hdmi and nema power cord and ran them through some white cable loom to make the installation a little neater. I am happy with what I got and as I have seen in more and more posts recently, I am not alone.

The post regarding the screen shot puzzled me as well but it just goes to show that everyone has an opinion. I have seen quite a few people claim that only one or two modes on the optoma are close to accurate; it puzzles me how anyone could be picky enough about color to bring it up but not calibrate it in the user mode. Cinema or reference are ok but you can't just select a mode and then call it crap. Very hard to form a criticism using the presets. There are just to many variables to account for. I understand the reviewers side of things. When I did reviews, on whatever the product was, if the numbers came out better, even if the results looked or sounded the same, there still had to be a winner or points given.

Had I been given the BenQ and Optoma to review head to head and I had the colors come out on top with the BenQ on a meter regardless of what my eyes saw, I would still have to call the BenQ the winner in terms of PQ. That's what they are paid to do. If it makes people feel better to say the BenQ is a 'way better' projector, whatevers. Some of us disagree but that's why I am thankful to live in a world where there is choice. I'm sure in a few years when my bulb burns out and hopefully, the 4k led/lasers or whatever is here, my only concern will be plugging the hole that this projector left.

I think its a bit more than just a case with the 141x and the Hd26. Not only is the firmware completely different as some of the inards.

The black levels i believe are better on the hd26 and better than the benq which i think is something that sets cheaper pjs from more expensive ones. I think if you purchased either you would be pleased, the optoma is my first projector and i am very pleased with how a projector can be as good/better than a standard lcd tv, i look forward to a 4k pj when they fall within?2k which may not be to far away.

Lol, time to calibrate that laptop I guess It appears from feedback around here they're the same hardware running different branches of firmware: and apparently you'll only notice the difference if you use Dynamic Black, which is more aggressive on the HD26 (not a good thing: it causes very obvious jumps in brightness.).

With DB off, contrast ends up being the same between the two. If you prefer it off, the HD141X is a more logical a choice than the HD26 (assuming the batch of noisy fans is sorted in the case of the former). If you prefer it on, get an HD141X and an appropriate serial number and just load the HD26 firmware onto it! (Yup, someone around here's even tried something just like this: ).

Aaaah, but that's just it: power on the BenQ, switch to Cinema, maybe swap lamp over to SmartEco lamp-power (to score a few extra thousand hours), and done.

Out-the-box picture quality is phenomenal and simultaneously bright. How many users feel like messing around in a color management system to get greens looking realistic? (Yup, this was an issue on the HD26 I saw in person: post-calibration, in user mode.

Greens looked washed out. Compare the foilage scenes of, say, Life of Pi, between the two and it was obvious - and no amount of tinkering could get it looking quite right without hurting other colors). Was it absolutely horrendous?

No: just a noticeable step down. First-timers (or very casual viewers) might not even notice. For kicks, I calibrated the W1070 a while back using Spears and Munsil (with a YUV source) starting with 'Standard' as my reference: and ended up with almost identical picture settings to the stock Cinema mode; just with Brightness two notches higher. Why can't Optoma get this right on their low end models? And why sacrifice nearly 70% of its claimed brightness to get sort-of close? And again, the BenQ I viewed was brighter in its Eco mode than the Optoma was in full-lamp mode, post calibration.

And yet still looked more natural. Both under 200 hours on their lamp, on identical screens. That's ridiculous considering the 3000-lumen claim of the Optoma. I literally wouldn't get away with my 127' screen-size at the brightness I've grown accustomed to if I had the Optoma. (Plus, having just a single User preset on the Optoma irritated me: what about a mode for Day and another for Night? Surely this is a practical use-case?) This is what the reviewers you speak of complain about.

If BenQ can nail all this right out of the darn box, then Optoma ought to as well. As an aside, I did check an Optoma HD50 at the same time: and that was very impressive. It seriously rivaled the W1070.

It'd also been calibrated - but the results were great. Nice, solid chassis, too. It's just a bit pricey. I want some competition and I'm looking Optoma's way to find it: I'm interested in setting up a projector in the main bedroom and wouldn't mind a longer throw than the BenQ. This is why I've been looking around.

But at this point, I see myself either splashing out for an HD50 (marketed as the HD161X at online stores), or just getting another W1070. But I figure if I'm gonna spend extra on an HD50, I may as well go the whole hog and pick up a Sony HW40ES for the current room (which I demo'd as well: and it blew my mind.) and move the BenQ to the bedroom. Heck, maybe I should run this idea past the Mrs while she's relaxed on holiday! It's curious, that, Ben.

Do you think the BenQ might've been too bright? Was it down to black levels (I believe the Optoma has a slight advantage here, though I couldn't detect it in practice)? Normally I associate the term 'flat' with 'low-contrast': but the BenQ is higher-contrast in practice.

Was it the more 'showroom'-like representation of color, perhaps? I've seen both in action recently and I share your own opinion. Even though I couldn't perceive any advantage in contrast between the two, the Hd26 had less detail shadow detail, which gives a perception of deeper blacks. This deeper black perception, coupled with the blown out whites, creates a certain look (no matter that it's wildly inaccurate) that some people find lively and appealing. Different strokes for different folks. I will admit, out of the box, all the Optomas needed tinkering.

I mostly noticed the Mosquito noise in the light scenes. For a turn it on and forget it projector, the 1070 is pretty good. I found the blacks on the 1070 to have some weird artifacts now and then, like pixelated grays shifting to black back and forth but maybe it was an inferior source. I did have to play around with the HD26 to get the colors to pop just right and have the whites look white without blinding me. Hopefully, I won't change the settings by accident because it looks super good right now.

Another thing that is funny is that Optoma would go through all the trouble of changing the indicator light from green on the 141x to blue on the Hd26 and red to orange in standby. Not that I am complaining, just odd.

I will admit, out of the box, all the Optomas needed tinkering. I mostly noticed the Mosquito noise in the light scenes. For a turn it on and forget it projector, the 1070 is pretty good.

I found the blacks on the 1070 to have some weird artifacts now and then, like pixelated grays shifting to black back and forth but maybe it was an inferior source. I did have to play around with the HD26 to get the colors to pop just right and have the whites look white without blinding me.

The optoma Hd 26 is not the same as the 141x and anyone that says so should share some proof, pics of the inards because i for 1 know they are not the same pj. For 1 some of the main board is different and to say just buy a 141 and put Hd26 firmware on it good luck with that 1 explaining to optoma how you have just bricked your new 141 and getting hold of the hd26 firmware in the first place unless its on the manual disc no chance, i wouldnt mind a firmware update which i cant find anywhere.

My setting were very close to what another member had posted for his 141x. I don't have it in front of me right now but I know for sure my brightness was down a little more than his. (I did mine in a pitch black room and it was actually causing some eye fatigue from the brightness) I believe my contrast, red and white values were just a number or 2 off from his but very similar. 'Brightness - (-7) Contrast - 2 Sharpness - 4 Color - 7 Tint - (-5) (Advanced) Gamma - Video Brilliant Color - 4 Dynamic Black - Off Color Temp - Standard (Color Settings) Red (-3), (-2), (-20) Green 20, 0, 0 Blue 0, 0, 12 Cyan 10, 4, 1 Magenta 21, 7, 6 Yellow (-6), (-25), (-11) White (-8), 8, 11 Lamp Mode - Eco'.

Convenient and easy to setup the bright and versatile HD142X boasts Amazing colour technology and conforms to Rec.709 delivering accurate true to life colour reproduction. This small projector is ideal for watching live sport, TV shows or movies any time of day on a big screen. You can even connect your games console and play games on it with its low input latency. An integrated speaker provides you with great sound and two HDMI inputs enables an easy setup. Perfect for connecting a laptop, PC, Blu-ray player, media streamer or games console. You can even turn it into a smart projector by connecting a HDMI dongle like the Google Chromecast™, Amazon Fire TV or Apple TV™ to play games, stream videos and share photos on the big screen in the comfort of your own home.

Weighing less than 2.5kg you can take it round to a friend’s house with the optional carry bag for a sports event, movie night or games marathon for the best big screen experience anywhere with a flat surface. First off, I am far from an expert in the context of projection, and this is my first unit designed for video rather than data/business projection. That being said, I can confidently say that 90% of people will absolutely love this unit right out of the box with factory settings, it is that good. However, due to the nature of single-chip DLP, there will be the 10% that see 'the rainbow effect.'

Unfortunately, I am one of those people and immediately noticed the effect when rapidly shifting my eyes across the screen in high-contrast scenes. The good news is that you can 'train' yourself to simply not see the effect. Once you understand that the effect is basically an optical illusion, tell yourself that its not there, and within a couple hours of viewing, you will have to make yourself see it. It sounds insane, but it works. Now, onto the projector itself: - On eco mode, the fan is virtually silent.

It becomes barely audible on dynamic or bright mode if you are sitting near it, but still not loud. - 3000 ANSI lumens are PLENTY to combat moderate amounts of ambient light. I am projecting a 107' diagonal image onto a beige wall (proper screen coming soon) from 12' 7' away in a room with three windows and two 60w lights and the picture is completely watchable. Of course, its better at night, but that goes for any projector. With a proper screen, I fully expect to leave the blinds open and have a perfect picture day or night!

- The color accuracy on the new 'Reference' mode are nothing short of stunning. If I didn't have so much ambient light, I honestly wouldn't bother with a screen. I could go on and on about this projector, but it just wouldn't do it justice. If you are in the market for a sub $1,000 projector, you've found it. Stop stressing and comparing like I did for months, and just buy the HD142X, you won't regret it! For ownership verification, my serial number is: Q72J629AAAAAC0532. After reading hundreds of reviews, I was about to purchase an Optoma HD141X, before I came across a review on the HD142X.

After talking to an Optoma customer service rep and comparing the two, he recommended the HD!142X for my specific needs. I received the unit yesterday and spent all night (and well into the morning) watching the Olympics and movies. Incredible viewing.

I couldn't be more pleased with this projector. My son has one that cost 5 times the HD142X and mine clearly surpasses his in every aspect. Great unit and great advice from the Optoma rep. I bought this projector a few days ago, and I could not be happier with it. I haven't gone through the process of mounting it to the ceiling or anything yet, but getting started was a breeze.

I plugged in the power cable, inserted an hdmi cable that is connected to my X1 box. And that's it. Turned it on and I had a beautiful 1080p image presented right on my wall. I currently have the projector about 14 feet away from the wall, and while I haven't measured it, the image size is huge (well over 120' I'd say).

I can't say enough good things about it. Setup is very simple, the image size is enormous, image quality is fantastic, brightness is more than adequate, and the built in speaker works fine (granted a home theater speaker system is still recommended). For around $600 you'd probably only be able to buy a 50' TV. A 120' Vizio TV costs $130,000 and has to be special ordered.

But for $600 you can get this projector that can display an image as small as 27' or as large as 300'. In my opinion, that makes TVs obsolete.

We have always wanted to try out a dlp projector but they are so expensive. Recently Optoma came out with this new model and for the price I had to try it out. So far we have watched 3 movies on this device and my wife and I are very happy with the colors, brightness (has several modes), size of unit and the picture quality is great.

We also own a 4kd hd tv and prefer to watch movies now on this projector. Currently we are projecting on a wall with some texture and off white and still the picture is incredible at about 120' diagonal.

The speaker sound is fine but I prefer using our Bose sound system. This is a great buy. Don't hesitate to purchase. I ordered this projector as soon a release date was announced. Coming from a 720p 3LCD Sony VPL-AW10 my expectations were not disappointed. First thing to notice is how bright this projector is.

I can literally watch anything with lights on and also during the day with the blinds opened. One thing that stands out is the 3D performance. Honestly better than my local movie theater. One thing though is the rainbow effect. I dont know if is just me but I can notice it quite a bit, but is non distracting while movie is playing. I guess you can say I am happy with my choice. I am a first time projector buyer and am really pleased with this unit.

There are projectors with more options and better specs out there but at some point we all have a budget. The image you get for the price is incredible.

Add to that the fact that it will do 3D and nothing else on the market comes close to giving you the same bang for your buck. The unit is very easy to set up. We pulled it out of the box, dialed in the focus, connected it to our cable box and were off and running. From the time we opened the box to the time we were watching an On Demand Movie was about 5 to 10 minutes.

The menus are easy to understand. The remote is easy to understand. My only complaints are very minor. 1) There needs to be more adjustment on the sound.

Each time you press the volume up or down it increments 1 step. However, there huge difference between each step.

You go from 1 step which is too soft and then the next step is too loud. Many people will use this unit with a surround sound which make this a non issue.

2) The back lighting on the remote is too bright. If you are watching this projector in a dimly lit room and press a button it takes your eyes a while to adjust to the brightness to be able to read the remote. Once again, a minor complaint. 3) There is a different button to turn the projector On and Off. I realize this sounds like a silly complaint and it is.

But everything else on the planet has 1 button for On and Off. Overall this a great projector. It is simple to set up and use.

The picture right out of the box is amazing. If you are someone that likes to adjust every little thing this is not for you.

However, I think the vast majority of people will appreciate the simplicity of this projector. This projector proves that it is not necessary for a projector to have tons of adjustments to get a great picture. This is the first projector we bought along with 120 inch screen. We were impressed with the quality initially. The picture quality is good.

Bright and vibrant. We have been using for a week. But noticed slight difference in the picture and color quality.

Unsure if that was a setup. But the initial crisp and sharpness is missing. The picture seemed to be smoky now. Tried multiple options, adjusting display mode to vivid, cinema. Yet to look out other options. - Also unsure how to adjust the mode to economy from bright to improve the lamp life.

It defaults to bright mode. Summary - Easy setup - have nice options to adjust the focus, lens shift and keystone. - Nice to have a speaker.

But looks like a mono speaker. - Acceptable Noise level. Remote is defective and only works at about 2' - called for TS and was told to file an RMA. Also, according to manual the 'throw' for this project for a 120' screen is 12.89' to about 14' and change - however I have about a 2-3' border all the way around my screen between screen and black masking - again, TS's solution, after asking if I had use manual zoom (I was at max) was to return it to retailer for defective optics.

Seriously - Both times I have spoken to TS (in a 2 hour period) I felt 'blown off' - seems their answer to everything is to return it to retailer OR send it in for repair - almost no effect to at least go through a few checks. Seems like they just want to get off the phone. This is my second Optoma projecter but it may be my last - I like it but the optic's throw issue is causing me heartburn if I have to move my screen back a foot or more (projector position is fixed). Sure hope I at least get the $50 rebate for writing a review to offset my hassle factor here. Everyone is impressed with the picture quality. This is our first projector and it has exceeded our expectations. We are using this projector with an 84' diagonal 16:9 manual screen.

The projector arrived one day before the screen, on the first day we used a new sheet of drywall sheetrock temporarily but the image is considerably brighter and clearer on the projector screen. We mounted the screen and projector inside our outdoor gazebo for movie nights. The projector is mounted about 10 feet away from the 84' screen.

The image is definitely at its best after sunset when it is a bit darker outside. We are using an Amazon Fire TV box as our media source, and the Fire TV bluetooth provides audio to our stereo sounddock. The projector has built-in speakers which can be used in a pinch, but the sound quality is poor enough that you will not want to endure that for long. The included remote for the projector is an IR remote and it can be a little frustrating (would give 5 star review if the remote was an RF remote).

With the IR remote you must point the remote at the top of the projector, if the projector is mounted overhead the remote control works better than when the projector is on a table. All in all a great projector though! This is my first home theater projector and I'm really delighted with the end result. I live in a condo and don't have a dedicated theater room.

So, this projector affords me the option of having a great theater experience when I want it and when I don't, my living room isn't overwhelmed by some oversized television clinging to my walls. My Optoma's picture is sharp and engaging, with crisp colors. I was a little jarred by the noise level, but, after about 5 minutes, the machine settles into its work and the roar dims to a gentle hum which quickly becomes unnoticeable. All-in-all, really great product. 3D accessories Model Name/ Part No ZF2300 Starter Kit Description Bright, stylish and lightweight Using wireless active shutter technology, the Optoma ZF2300 3D glasses allow you to immerse yourself in the latest 3D movies, documentaries and sport.

Don't underestimate how useful is to have a projector that can be used at any time of day, and at the HD142X's low price, its 3,000 ANSI Lumens is a good value feature.

Expect clean, crisp images with plenty of accurate color, and more contrast and shadow detail within black areas of the image that you've a right to expect at this price. And we loved the brightness of the lamp, which meant we could use the HD142X at midday and still see the image clearly. Long story short, if you're after a projector that you can take out of a cupboard for the occasional big screen movie or gaming night, the compact, versatile and great value HD142X is hard to beat. The HD142X is a budget priced 1080P DLP projector that can comfortably throw a near-flawless 120-inch image in most living room spaces The 1080p image was crystal clear, easily on par with a mid-range large screen TV, but more than twice the size, price per (quality) inch we think the HD142X is unbeatable.

Sharp lines and a good colour range that benefits from the 23,000:1 contrast ratio makes even the most basic screen setup pop. Overall: For quality picture per inch, you won't find a better value projector 9 out of 10. “The HD142X model offers a good quality-price ratio due to the 1920 x 1080, 3D capability and options and the low 33ms latency which makes this projector a good choice for both movies and gaming.” “The image quality is very good, offering vivid colors, minimal distortion and a good contrast.

The projector uses approximately 227W of power in normal usage conditions and approximately 186W in Eco mode.” “In conclusion, Optoma offers an easy to use projector, ideal for both gaming and Home Cinema, also the projector offers numerous options for 2D and 3D image configuration. The connectivity of the projector is good offering both HDMI and HDMI compatible MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link).”. “As with all the Optoma projectors, it was extremely simple to set up.” “I was pleasantly surprised at just how clear it was during the day and with lights on in the room.” “As for the picture quality it was, on the whole, very good.” “The gaming mode worked wonders when using my PS4 and there was no drop in quality or speed when playing video games.” “The HD142X is a powerful projector and you get a lot for your money. It gives you plenty of options for how you can use it and is so simple to set up and use.”.

“It really hits its stride as a projector for the living room or den when the crowd is over for some weekend entertainment. It is also small and light enough (5.5 lbs) to be used at work or on the road if HDMI sources are available.” “The video image from the HD142X was clear, sharp from edge to edge and top to bottom, and noise free. Cinema mode rendered very natural flesh tones, and after a slight boost in contrast and a reduction in brightness, highlight and shadow detail were well-defined.

Black levels were excellent with dark scenes showing smooth transitions and small grey-scale differences easily distinguished.” 'The Optoma HD142X is one of the lowest priced 1080p home theater projectors on the market.'
