Optoma Technology's 50-inch RD-50 TV

Is there a time when it makes sense to stick with an old favorite rather than seek out the new? Of course. Coming up with examples is too easy: the old Ford Thunderbird versus the new one, Aretha Franklin versus Ashanti, automatic watches versus...

Sound Quality

Hey, even if the picture is good quality, if the sound quality is poor it's not worth it. This TV doesn't offer Auto sound leveling. You know when the TV show you are watching goes to a commercial, and then all of a sudden your being drowned out by the...

Buyer Beware

This TV was great until 3 months after warranty I heard a sound of glass shattering. Called support and got the same $400 for service and $800 for parts (parts come with 90 day warranty....). After complaining Optoma offered to pay half the cost of ...

No extended warranty available. Integrated Color engine.

Stay away, buyer beware

The main problem with this item and I guess any other item carrying the Optoma brand is....Optoma itself. Lack of before the sale support, lack of after the sale support; I should have stayed away when it took them a month to reply to a query I had...
