Optoma HD39HDRx High Brightness HDR 1080p Home Theater Projector | 120Hz Refresh Rate | 4,000 Lumens | Fast 8.4ms Response time with 120Hz | Easy Setup, 1.3X Zoom | 4K Input | Quiet 26 dB Operation

Overall Im very satisfied with the picture quality, brightness, color, sharpness, and fast refresh rate of this projector. Price wise this is a mid range projector using older DLP technology. The contrast between black and white is not going to compare to a projector that cost 3 to 4 times as much as this. Good Price Quite Built in speaker Bright Bad Poor black and white contrast Poor sound quality Runs hot Im really happy with the projector so far and would buy it again and recommend it to others.

Video is lifelike. Would HIGHLY recommend

Box did not include a manual so I had to download it from the web. Sound from the speaker is of no use... so not recommended for outdoor use. Good image quality. Bit finicky in HDMI detection.Excellent picture quality. Did not like the GUI on it though. Lamp gives out a lot of heat. I need a shorter throw for my setup hence returned to Amazon. Very smooth return and refund. Thanks to Amazon for excellent customer support.

I had an older model optima projrctor that quit working after a lightning storm. It was HD but not 4K. The picture on the older model blows this one away. I love sports and with the previous model i could easily read jersey names and clearly see the finest details. I cant get this one to perform well enough to do the same. Both models were mounted in the same bracket at the same distance with a diagonal screen size of 110. I would happily take my older one back.

Weve used this for a month in a home theater setup with Mac Mini (for internet) and a DVD player. It projects on a large classroom-size screen in our living room. Audio is sent directly out of the Mac Mini to a state of the art sound system. The whole thing is rather impressive. But I digress. Optoma HD39HDR has nice, clear images and it never goes out of focus. The only thing Ive found to be a problem is that when you are projecting in 4/3 aspect ratio for DVD and then go back to the 16/9 for internet, the color is all messed up, being to red and too rich. People all look like theyve spent the night in a toaster oven. The remedy--just turn the projector off and after 10 seconds turn on again and it will go back to normal. I love the rather economical bulb which is supposed to last years. In the econ mode, which preserves bulb life, the brightness is just fine for our living room. Our previous Otoma projector lasted 10 years with c. 4-5 hours operation per day every day. I hope this one will be as good.

Good picture quality and allows the 4k and hdr streams to be accessed on prime, Netflix and Disney app on amazon fire 4k. Allows Dolby atmos audio streams to be an option. Tried several 4k projectors and just were not bright enough even in a dark room and had flickering issues due to a long hdmi cable run in my theater setup. Is a bit finicky when changing settings on initial setup but once it’s set I never change projector settings again. All voice activated with a harmony hub and Alexa. Very bright With ambient light present. Replaced a optima hd20 I’ve had for years and it is defiantly an improvement. Until more 4k content is available and atmos movies just not worth the extra for a 4k projector in my opinion.

Excellent projector!!

One of best options in the market

This projector appeared highly rated, but it is actually a plastic featureless junk of junk. The glass bulb in my epson 2045 blew out mere days before Christmas leaving glass dust throughout the inside. With no time I ordered this so we had something in time to use on Christmas. It came in the thin retail package with a label on it. Shoe boxes are thicker. I dont know if was damaged as a result, but the keystone adjustment is useless. All the settings are fake and clip the image rather than actually adjust. Its a bloody nightmare for the near grand I paid. Never again. Have had three Epsons in the past 15 years, and Ill never try anything else. Dont waste your time.

**UPDATE FEB 18th 2023** PLEASE spare yourself the agony of buying this projector. If you have $1k to spend, its very likely you can comfortably finance a $3k projector. IF YOU CANT thats OKAY, but dont buy this.... Stick with a better affordable one you already have, and save up or finance something in the low-side of the high-end projectors. Projectors range from $200 to $115k. I started with one of the cheap ones on AMZ, used it outside for summer movie nights for 3-4 years. I think it was a max 720p, eventually kicked it up to a 1080p cheapo for like $200. That did the trick outside, and during the pandemic I thought, hey why not bring it inside for movie nights by myself... It was good but not amazing. Okay, my living room has a lot of ambient light, so I looked up good Bright projectors. I figured, I just need one that can play 4k (even if its not full 4k) and has lots of lumens. Thatll be fine. Thats how I ended up on this, even though the CNET review said it was mediocre at best. Oh how I wish I had NOT bought this back in may 2021!!! Unboxing my Epson 5050ub today, its a beefy machine 4x the size of this. If you need something portable dont even look at projectors like this from Optoma or Epson etc. Just get the nebula portable projector from Anker. The 4x size seriously looks 4x better and is worth that $1k vs $3k pricetag. Go with Epson 5050ub or ls12000(1k more) if you are looking for an amazing picture youll be happy with for 5-10 years. The BenQ ht5550 is also a good one, but I really liked how the 5050ub handles old or bad sources. Lots of roku streams are still 720p so having decent contrast and upscale and black levels VERY MUCH outweighed crisp resolution for me. I sit 10 away from the screen anyway lol. The exponentially better picture, at $100/month for 18 months lol and just a better experience with switching sources (Ive tried HTPC, Roku, PS5 no syncing problems like optoma) I wish I wouldve bought this years ago. Ill be selling my optoma to a friend for half the price I bought it for. **Update Feb 15th 2023** The issue with spinning icon and blue screen has gotten progressively worse. To the point it may take 15-20 minutes for the Projector to properly throw a picture for the PS5. Sometimes it just gives up and I have to power cycle everything (ps5, receiver, projector) to finally get something to appear on the screen. This might be okay for cheaper projectors in the sub $500 range, but for a projector around the $1k pricetag I feel like its unacceptable. The projector is used daily as a main media viewing device and needs to function properly every time. . Ive moved my rating down to TWO STARS because of the above visual problems as well as the abysmal customer support, if you even want to call it that. . Their website looks like it came from 1998, no frills. Which tells me how much effort they put into their customer facing persona. I found a support contact form and filled it out. That was in June of 2022. Got an automated email saying theyd respond in 2 business days. They never did. - Emailed them Jan 17th got an automated email. Followed up on Feb 15th and they claim they replied and to check spam. Nothing went to spam. Theres no response from them. - I cant recommend this projector. There is no customer support. So Ive gone ahead and bought a Epson 5050UB. Ill probably sell this Optoma to a friend for $500 or something. But really, go online and read reviews, you can get a better Projector for around the same price range. For example the BenQ CineHome HT2050A. When I bought this I was only interested in a bright projector because its in my living room and I watch frequently during the daytime. Dont make the mistake I did. ______ Ive had this projector since May 2021 so coming up on a year of ownership. Its in my living room which faces North and has a lot of windows on the east side. Attached a pic to give an idea of a sunny day at noon (March 19th 2022) T2 is playing at 720p upscaled from a Win10 PC using media player classic with the newest codecs. PC is running to an older but trusty Onkyo TX- NR636. I did have a Yamaha RX-V385 hooked up that supports HDR, but Im not super into the high contrast of HDR and prefer the stronger audio quality of the Onkyo. Plus every time a source had HDR the projector would take forever to sync up and sometimes would fail to output proper video til I made it sync a few times or cycle between inputs. ****I emailed Optoma to try and get steps on how to update firmware but never got an answer and havent found any instructions online.**** Overall I like the picture, darks can be a little muddy sometimes but thats not a big deal to me. I watch soccer, F1, play PS5 racing games and shooting games, lots of anime, TV and movies. The projector works well in every facet and with any amount of ambient light. ***One star off just due to the issues sometimes syncing up a source and having to fiddle with it for a few minutes.*** Its a good deal if youre not looking for an ultra high end projector that will cost you easily double, triple or even higher prices.
