4 out of 5 stars great projector   November 23, 2008
Geoff Rubens (Delft, Holland)
I bought ours about a year ago. We enjoy watching movies in HD and this projector delivers stunning results. We have created quite a complicated set up, with dvd player, multi media computer, dvico tvix streamer, home theater receiver and hdtv tuner connected, with all this working both on the tv screen and on the projector. The one problem we had was that right after 2 months the remote simply stopped working, and I was never able to get another one. My dealer in the USA said he shipped me one, but it never arrived. I tried to obtain one from Optoma Europe (I live in the Netherlands), they never bothered to answer my email request. So I bought a universal remote that seems to do the job quite well for much less than the original would have cost. br / br /We also bought a couple of prisms that strech the image from 16:9 to cinemascope. (The projector has a cinemascope zoom mode, eliminatng the black bars at the top and bottem of the image). This is the ultimate theater experience! One thing I particularly like about this projector is its throw ratio. It seems to be made for my living room. It is put in a rather low cabinet under the tv, and projects to the other wall at about 7 meters distance I get a cinemascope image of about 4 meters wide at the right height. Perfect! And I never have the rainbow problems I had with previous DPL projectors. I would buy this projector again.


4 out of 5 stars Very good 1080p projector   March 31, 2008

The image from this HD81 projector from a 1080p source is stunning and with so much details. The 720p/1080i images are likewise very detailed and incredible. The connectivity is just so flexible and convenient due to the outboard scaler unit. Speaking of scaler, it's a like a high end scaler capable of de-interlacing 480i materials flawlessly. Even my old laserdisc is looking good with this projector. br / br /There's some noise from the fan but it is not enough to be distracting. br / br /The only problem I had was after about 200 hours, I started to see two white pixels on my screen. Later I found out that this is the dreaded stuck pixel but known as a stuck mirror for DLP units. Fortunately, my unit is still on warranty and I just sent mine for repair to Optoma after obtaining an RMA. br / br /I would have given this product a five star if only there was no issue with the stuck dlp mirrors.
