I have a PS3 feeding a 1080p dignal to my Optoma HD 65 which then interpolates the signal since it is only 720p native. Question is: is it better to output at 720p from PS3 to get the optimum viewing experience or leave as is? |

Hi everyone. I am thinking of buying a projector, but I'm not sure what to look for and things like that. So, I have gone to a BUNCH of websites such as best buy, micro center, circuit city, ebay, amazon, costco, walmart, and places like those. I think that the best one out there, considering price, is the Optoma HD65.
P.S. What I want to do with my projector is play some XBOX, watch T.V., and watch movies.
Thanks in advance! |

I recommended to a friend my projector (HD 65) but want to make sure I give him the right advice.
Placement and ambient light factor would be ok in his set up with the optoma. But comparison of the picture quality I could not do. He does not see rainbows and loves the tiny size of the projector. But would he get an improved picture quality with the panasonic (he does mainly movies and hd sports) compared to the optoma? |

Hope it’s not a late response, finally had a chance to set it all up and give it a go. well I’m really happy with picture quality in blue rays, regular DVDs don’t look all that good, may be cause of big screen 100” and I’m only sitting about 12 feet from it. Either way happy with Blue rays, HD TV sports look great. I noticed rainbows while using the AI feature, so I turned it off and all is good, my room has all white walls and the light reflections make room pretty bright, enough to read the manual.
Noticed some bleeding light around the screen, but doesn’t bother me all that much. And now the biggest problem I have with this projector was the placement was a lot of trouble I read a lot of reviews and carefully measured the through distance and got the screen just for that and even so had a hell of time setting the thing to project properly on the screen it took me quite a few hours and a lot of head ache. Now that everything is set up I’m happy.
On a side note one thing I hated about movies on a HD TV is that the movies are so clear that it takes away from the movie feel, don’t get me wrong sports and regular TV programs look great but just the movie aspect I didn’t like, but with this projector I feel the movie feel is preserved it looks just like it would in a cinema theater. I also have a 55 inch 1080i Sony, Samsung 32inch 720p, I would have to say the picture quality looks the best on Samsung, but the movie feel that comes with optoma is great and may be it would look better if it was in a room with darker walls and no light reflection, higher end screen i'm using elite. Hope this helped. Good Luck |

Okay, I am replacing an Optoma EP 750 Projector (600:1 Contrast Ratio, 1600 lumens) that I LOVED LOVED LOVED. It was perfect for my needs. I Loved the left side connections, instead of the backside connections (I could get closer to the wall!!)
However, the color wheel broke, and well, I need a new one. I am looking for one, between 600 and 700 on eBay.
What I will be doing. NOT A WHOLE lot of HD or BluRay stuff for a while, mainly this will be my "TV", so I would prefer something that has a long lamp life, and be able to be on 8 hours a day (between my roommate and I)
PREFER HDMI over DVI.
My situation:
Semi Bright Room, projectors home is a 36" tall Pedestal behind the couch, target screen is above a fireplace, 8 feet ahead. NO SCREEN, so a little bit of variance is allowed, ha, but I think I measured and got 71" with the EP750, it was was about PERFECT.
I would have preferred more .. color depth, but if I go BRIGHTER per se, would that increase or decrease the color depth?!
My Choices so far:
Optoma HD65 (Obviously cheapest, seems to be highly regarded)
http://www.projectorcentral.com/Optoma-HD65.htm
(1600 Lumens, Native 720p, HDMI, USB, Nice remote for home use, 4000:1 contrast ratio, 2,000/3,000hr lamp life, )
Optoma HD71
http://www.projectorreviews.com/optoma/hd71/performance.php
(2400 Lumens,
Optoma HD72
1300 lumens, 5000:1 contrast, 768p Native (??), 3000 hour lamp life,
which is more important? Lumens or Contrast Ratio .. lol
it seems the higher the contrast ration, the smaller the lumens? |
