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 is not the only strength of the HD71. I found the HD71 to perform wel...
Excellent Brightness Brightest of 720p home theater projectors in best mode, and one of the Brightest overall picture Good overall performance after basic adjustments Good selection of inputs (including HDMI 1.3 with Deep Color support, and DVI ) Supports...
Very limited zoom lens No lens shift basicElement Needs 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 causal 720p projector for 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...
I'd buy this over any LCD and plasma anytime. Also, I find using a brand name HDMI cable like Monster had a bit advantage over color compare to really cheap cable. Be smart, you don't have to buy those cable brand new. Auction site is your source.
Capable of displaying 1080p which I'm currently using right now to watch DVD and Blue Ray. A way better investment for home theater than LCD and plasma. Everything look nice and sharp with my 84" screen mounting inside my small room. Expensive lamp replac...
It's hotter than the latest graphic card, maybe the cooling fan is a bit small. Not include ceiling mounting.
Second projector I've owned. First HD projector. Huge difference. I have a large collection of 1080p and they look amazing on this projector.
Displays 1920x1080. Great contrast even in a lighted room. I was expecting the fan to be very loud based on several reviews I read, but I don't notice it.
The only real complaint I have about this is with the ImageAI. While it does make a pleasant difference in the quality of the image, the change in brightness is very abrupt and noticeable when a movie switches from a dim to a bright scene. It was enough t...
This projector was best described as a light cannon. i tried it during the day with the lights on and windows open. ambient light does not affect the picture. its atleast twice as bright as your average projector. if your looking for a bright veristile pr...
Bright. A good selection of inputs. DLP. Internal speaker. Good picture.
not many options to adjust the picture. not the best contrast on a projector. Does not come with a manual, just a cd with the manual on it.
The Optoma HD71 is a Home Theater Projector with amazing picture quality with 2400 lumens of brightness and a contrast ratio of 4000:1in ImageAl mode. The HD71 is the ideal cross over projector, perfect for both home and business use. Weighing only 6.3 lbs. it comes with multiple HD inputs, including HDMI V1.3, DVI with HDCP.
