- Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2016Style: DH1012Verified PurchaseBought this projector 6 months ago to replace my expensive Sony projector (costing more than $3500). Sony projector died after 4 years and would have cost $1500 to repair. Just ridiculous! Decided to go a different route and try a cheaper projector. So far the projector is working fine. Picture is obviously not as good but acceptable. Occasionally, it has trouble picking up the signal from my blu-ray player (Oppo 103). Picture adjustments are rather limited. However it is super bright. Have noted reviews of some users about short life span (18 months). If this can last 18 months, I will still be satisfied considering the rather low price.
UPDATE 09/07/18 After 2+ years of almost daily use, it is still running faultlessly. When this machine eventually goes kaput, I will definitely get another Optoma (probably 4K if the price drops).
- Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2018Style: DH1012Verified PurchaseI bought this optoma projector for my media room. Sounds like a jet taking off when fan kicks in as soon as it turns on. Too dim for day use. Blacks look grey. Also the optoma website is useless for figuring out how to replace the bulb. Burnt out after two years of moderate use. Wish I would have bought a big lcd to skip the hassle. A waste of money and will tell everyone to stay clear.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2016Style: DH1012Verified PurchaseBought this approximately 9 moths ago and it started making a screeching sound for several minutes on startup in January. Sounds like bad fan bearings. The projector gets used on weekends. Once it gets "warmed up" the sound of the projector is very quiet - like it was in August when I first purchased it. Had my previous projector for almost 10 years before it made any sounds like this. I like the picture - very vivid and good colors, and there are plenty of menu setup features to fine-tune the image and setup.
UPDATE - AUGUST 2016: Buzzing noise is so loud and persistent we cannot continue to use the unit. The web support and registration information provided with the unit does not work (get 404 errors on their site). Calling OPTOMA is an act of futility. Had to use the online chat to get anyone. They gave me a link for an RMA. Will update later.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2015Style: DH1012Verified PurchaseI have mixed feelings about this projector. It has an excellent projection (1080). I like having 2 HDMI ports. After that however I am extremely disappointed it does not have some nominal speakers OR any sound port OUT. Because I need the ladder functionality when other people use the projector I returned it to buy another mode. Don't expect to use the accompanying bag for any travel.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2016Style: DH1012Verified PurchaseI'm new to the home theater thing but so far I'm loving it! I had rented this projector in the past for a Hollywood themed birthday party & was so impressed I decided to buy it for my family as a household Christmas gift. The picture quality is great! I was concerned about the lamp life when compared to others but we don't use it on a daily basis so 8000hrs (on Eco mode) should suffice. I would give it 5 stars but the speaker leaves a lot to be desired. I'm not to concerned with it because we will be adding a theater surround system soon. Also another terrific feature, the picture quality remains the same if your watching in the dark or with lights on. I believe that's related to the lumen count. Overall, I love product & I really loved the price. I would recommend to others.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2016Style: DH1012Verified PurchaseI fell in love with this projector after it survived a crashing fall during installation from the 12 foot ceiling of my warehouse into the concrete floor. No damage!!!
The screened picture is excellent (I use the MHL to play of my cell phone) and it easily connects to a sound bar for music, etc.
