Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Nice picture
Excellent on all points. This projector is easy to use, has an excellent picture, is essentially silent and the price Amazon had it for was untouchable. It's the way to go if you want to step up to HD DLP projection. Don't skimp on your screen though. Complement this device with the best screen you can get and you'll be very happy.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Optoma HD72 review
I just replaced my older Benq PE5120 480p projector with this one, and it's night and day. The Faroudja processor even cleans up standard cable to a watchable signal. Colors are deep, blacks are much better, and no more seeing pixels at 13ft. from the screen. Rainbows are pretty much non existent in all but extreme cases of high contrast you "might" see one if you race your eyes across screen. I love this projector and i'm only feeding it with a 480p signal over component video! I think the optics are sealed so no dust will get inside.





Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Optomistic!
I bought this product after reading many reviews and studying the situation on the internet. I actually would of liked to buy a bit cheaper one, but the advertised brightness of this unit, combined with it's ability to the xga computer display were the ultimate hooks.
I have a small restaurant in Guatemala named Blind Lemon's and I bought the unit to show movies there. I am projecting onto one of my dead mother-in-law's old bed sheets hung between two metal poles to stretch it out, and it just looks fantastic. I'll get some black out cloth when I can, but I am impressed. I have had to crank down the brightness in the normal mode...to get the blue back in the sky, so this thing really puts it out. I have also added an upscaling dvd player, the pioneer, to the mix and this gives a ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Unreliable
First of all, it would be wise to avoid Optoma products all together. This is the second one I've owned (due to the inexplicably good reviews on Amazon). I've had plenty of problems with them, and Optoma USA is spectacularly unresponsive and unhelpful. I sent this particular projector back to them twice, and they have still failed to fix it.

One problem that I've seen in both Optoma projectors I've owned is that despite the bright pictures and purportedly huge contrast ratios, most of the actual effective contrast is skewed towards the bright end of the range. This means that no matter how much calibration, tweaking, and adjustment you do (or how dark your viewing environment) dark scenes tend to range from muddy to unviewable. So these projectors are really not good for viewing ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Was the best projector of 2006!
I am the lead installer for a company that installs RealHomeTheaters, so hopefully my experience can be of some help.

This projector has been on the market since 2006. There is newer better technology out there at better prices. Shop around. Consider the Mitsubishi HC1500 or the Panasonic PT-AX200 and be sure to read my reviews on them too.

Hope this helps get your RealHomeTheaters off the ground!
