Optoma HD71

 

Brightness, for many, is a key performance feature, especially those needing to deal with some ambient light, especially for those without the classic dedicated theater room. Brightness isn't the only strength of the HD71. I found the HD71 to perform...

Excellent Brightness brightest of 720p home theater projectors in best mode, and one of the brightest overall ; Good overall picture performance after basic adjustments ; Good selection of inputs (including HDMI 1.3 with Deep Color support, and DVI) ;...

Very limited zoom lens ; No lens shift ; Needs basic calibration to get best results ; Manual comes on disc, no hard copy ; A fan noise is louder than most projectors, although not exceptionally so

This is really, a good, moderately inexpensive 720p projector for causal movie viewing and TV/HDTV/Sports. For those looking for the absolute best projector for pure movie watching, they will likely favor another projector. But the HD71 should be great...

Optoma HD65 review

 

Want a projector small enough to tuck under you arm?

Impressive spec sheet ; Sharp image ; Generally bright ; Fantastically dinky

Noisy fan ; Visible DLP rainbow effect

Small and well-specced, this portable projector would be a great addition to any living room

Amazing Deal!

 

The fans do a great job of getting the heat out and in doing so you might not want to put anything too close to the exhaust port because it might melt or overheat the projector.

This Projector has an amazing picture 720P. I have this connected to my desktop in my bedroom and am using it as a secondary monitor to watch movies on. After a bit of tweaking I got the picture perfect

Excellent Projector

 

This is probably one of the best entry level projectors, especially when compared to other PJ's similar in price. This is my first projector, and I have no plans on upgrading anytime soon. It's capabilities are comparable to PJ's in the $1000+ range,...

Great image quality ; excellent color depth ; Brightness effective in combating mild to moderate ambient light ; Works great out of the box, very user friendly ; Excellent Price ; Black levels are above average on basic unpainted blackout cloth screen,...

Same complaint as others, it gets very hot when in use, and can heat up small sized rooms ; Limited zoom capabilities, manual focus is annoying since it is ceiling mounted ; Not very compatible with universal remotes
