Optoma - 720p, dlp projector


We received this recently, and after testing it out we're very happy with the picture, menus, noise level, and brightness, particularly for the price. We test drove a video in 1080p on the projector, and it's great, so probably good for home theater use. That said, we're using it as a work projector most of the time. If you're just doing PowerPoint, probably not necessary. As a collaborative tool, though, particularly in productivity apps like Excel, the 1920x1080 is very helpful.



Customer "technical" support/service is poor. They didn't know their product, so when trying to troubleshoot the problems with keyboard emulation/control through the USB cable, they were unable to be of any help (quick summary--the functions are not working, so am currently unable to use the remote to change slides, for example. Suspect driver issue with Windows 7 and Macs, which were both tested. Function not that important, anyway, just an extra feature). The simple solution of course is to simply pass me through to an engineer who knows the product, but that didn't appear to occur to them. Perhaps this is a problem with native English? Seems to be an issue with technical support these days more than desired.



If it weren't for poor customer support related to keyboard emulation problems, I'd give it 5 stars. Vivitek D950HD 3000 Lumen 1080p Data and Home Theater Projector - 1080p Projector - 720p - Dlp Projector - 3d Ready'
