4 out of 5 stars HT Projector review   August 31, 2010
Robert Yazell (Nevada City, California, US)
Needed a projector for both data presentations and video applications. This does both well. Very bright image. Not the greatest for use as a home theater projector because of dark levels, but acceptable, especially in a room with a lot ambient light. Compact and convenient for travel. Build quality is typically Chinese, but performance is good. Wish it had a little better zoom range for the projection lens - you need to set up the projector in a spot that matches the screen location, rather than having the flexibility to put the projector in a more convenient spot. This is the norm for the low cost projectors. The 3D referred to is not suitable for the current 3D technology as it applies to home theater.

5 out of 5 stars Great picture quality for 1/4th the price of similar quality HDTV   August 27, 2010
Chris De Cali (Boston, MA)
This year, I moved into a suite with three roommates. As geeks and audiophiles, we were searching for a solution that could couple amazing 720p, 1080p picture with our 7.1 surround sound for under $1000. After visiting every possible electronics dealer for a discounted, new fangled 120Hz 1080p LCD TV under $1000, we gave up and took to the web to find solutions. That's when we found the Optoma HD66.

Based on previous reviews, videos on YouTube, and the projector's specifications, we decided to give this guy a try. Now, after receiving this bad boy just a few days ago, I can tell you we made the first right decision of our college careers. Not only does this projector throw a beautiful 720p or 1080p from a .mkv or Blu-Ray source but it is very easy-to-use for the simple geek. We have yet to try games on it but every movie we have seen on this has wow'd us in terms of quality. We also currently project it on a wall in our living room which has eggshell paint. Therefore, we have yet to see it on a proper screen. Regardless, the image, the throw, and the make of the model has impressed us enough to keep it over any sort of HDTV solution. Currently, we use the HDMI and optical audio inputs as well as the VGA to achieve best picture resolution and quality.

However, I will keep viewers updated after we have successfully mounted and constructed a screen. That setup is probably the best way to achieve greatest picture clarity and color for this type of projector.



5 out of 5 stars Just as good as high dollar projectors   August 22, 2010

After tons of researching projectors for use this summer to watch outdoor movies, we settled on this one. I wasn't expecting much out of it, since it wasn't expensive. However, before we even unpacked it, we went to a store to buy a screen for in the house so we could play video games. They had this projector set up next to a $3,500 projector and the picture on this one blew that one away. I was shocked. The sales guy said it was a great projector. He wasn't kidding.

Once home and set up, we have played video games and movies. The picture is very clear and HD. We have floor to ceiling windows in the living room where we use this and the picture can get a little faded out until we shut the blinds and then it is a fantastic picture. I think the contrast in dark pictures is great. I have only had to adjust it one time, and on other movies it has been just fine.

I would recommend this to anyone, without hesitation. We have watched TV on it as well, and that is pretty cool, but we try not to do that too much, so it stays 'special'. Now, when I miss a movie at the theater, I will be okay, because watching it at home, is great.

We did take it outside for a drive in movie and projected it onto a 12'x20' screen. It was very clear and crisp on that, as well. We played a black and white movie and a color one. They both were fantastic. I can't say it enough, I was NOT expecting much out of a projector in this price range. We were going to just get a multimedia projector, but for a little more we got this entry level projector and after seeing it against the high dollar one, I am no sure this is really all that 'entry level'.



5 out of 5 stars Great Value. We love it!!   August 18, 2010

I have had this projector for 2 months and have about 250 hours on it. It has been a great buy for our family. The picture quality has just blown us away. Watching DVD's and HD content is great and even during the day when we do have some light in the basement the picture is good. We can't wait for football season this Fall.

My friends and family can not believe that I was able to buy this projector for under $700.

BTW.
We are using a painted wall as our screen and have Directv and PS3, both connected with HDMI.
