Optoma RD50A

 

While we liked its thin-bezel design and comprehensive image-scaling options, the Optoma RD50A disappointed us with its poor color accuracy and ineffective menu system.

Attractive design. HD content appears crisp. Comprehensive image-scaling options.

Poor color accuracy. Slow, obstructive menu system.

Best value; superior picture

 

Thin cabinet and outrageous picture.Shopped around the net and found incomparable pricing.

The life of the DLP's lamps is between 2,000 and 5,000 hours.They are pricey.
