I painted my theatre room a deep grey and it helps tremendously with keeping light from bouncing around. I have watched blu rays, the super bowl, and a standard dvd upscaled to 720P. This projector gives off a beautiful picture, is compact, and is really not all that noisy. I have it shining on a 106 inc screen and it looks great. All have looked phenomenal. Even during the day light hours it gives off a good picture. For 720P at this price you will not be dissapointed. It looks better than my 1080P Sony 120Z.
the 720P in the title is just the "native" resolution.As for others' review comments regarding:Remote back-light - It is bright, but how much do you use the remote.Zoom really small - Yep, this is true. At the time I purchased this from Amazon, they were offering a $350 projector screen for free, so I just couldn't pass that up. I did lots of research on HD projectors under $1000. You'd better know how far away from your screen you need to put it. Otherwise, I would have opted for the HD66 for the added lumens.I watch blu-ray movies at 1080P with this projector. It runs 1080P just fine. The zoom feature is almost non-existent. It also has a feature that will allow you to crop the edges a little bit - this helped me fit to the screen perfectly.Rainbow effect - I haven't had this issue at all.
Great 720i picture for $650.The only difficultly we had was installing it. The ceiling mount we already own came with three different-sized bolts, but all were too big.I had to go to a hardware store and purchase new bolts.I cannot rate the reliability after only one month, will comment again after one year.
Apparently everytime i turn it on i can hear the fan, i don't think there is anything wrong with it, i think maybe with the sensor. I've emailed optoma with the issue and still no word back.
The price was incredible. I bought this projector about a month ago.
I found on some forums that people had the same problem. Within a week after roughly watching 5 movies when pressed on button to turn the projector on the blue screen came on and the next thing it said "Warning Fan Locked" and turned off automatically.
Apparantely the HD65 does this a lot. It hasn't been more than a week and my brand new item does not work.
Well i pray that i get a new one or they will fix this one for me.
When we watch movies during the day (with the blinds closed) the picture is still clear, unless it's a dark scene, then it's hard to see (but that will happen on any TV). We hooked our DVD player/receiver into the projector and can watch movies with no problem. The only thing I wasn't expecting was that we have no sound for our PS3 games. We have just been running it on our white wall. The projector really is amazing.
The picture is definitely HD quality. We have not had any problems or concerns with the projector so far. I can now say that I am positive I made the right choice. We have the projector running a 143 inch screen.
But, that is because we have an old receiver that doesn't have any HDMI hookups on it. I researched other companies and found that most other places were consistently $100 - $200 more than amazon.com. We put the projector in our basement so there would be less light. Eventually we'll buy the ceiling mounts, but for now it's just sitting on a table. I've only had this product for a month and have maybe put 20 hours on it so far.
I bought this projector for my husband for Christmas after researching and reading about several different projectors. Just a suggestion: You have to have a receiver with HDMI hookups (in and out) in order to hear PS3 games. DVD's play fine. The price of the projector is excellent on amazon.com. Everything is easily explained in the manual (not that you even need the manual). I will update later on down the road if I run into any issues with the bulb. It took only minutes to set up.
The projector noise is quiet. We are looking forward to taking it outside one night this upcoming summer and watching a movie on a huge screen on the side of our house. The hookups are self-explanatory. I've heard other people say the bulb doesn't last as long as the company claims. We can't hear it at all while watching movies.I would highly recommend buying this item if you are in the market for a quality projector, but don't want to spend a huge amount of money.
