> 3 day**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.

> 3 dayAs few other reviewers pointed out - picture is grainy, dim around the corners, sharpness and keystone controls are useless, cheap packaging, flimsy plastic case that does not inspire confidence, no mounting holes for ceiling mount, remote control layout is unintuitive - good luck adjusting anything with lights off. Bought based on glowing reviews - should have done more research.

> 3 dayPurchased this projector back in 2020 and have close to 4k hours on it so far. Here’s a few things you should know before purchasing. 1) When switching between apps, games, video source or even just clicking a menu or home button it’s very common for this projector to pop up a blue screen for around 8-15 seconds. If you’re looking for a very fast, smooth and top notch projector this ain’t it 2) the projector gives off a considerable amount of heat, I live in the desert and already have enough of that so I used a window AC unit to combat the additional heat 3) it’s a good projector, I’ve used it on 20ft inflatable screens, big garage doors, large walls and most commonly my projector screen and it has always displayed a good image. I’m very happy with the lumen output, refresh rate and easily customizable display settings but I have to say at this price point I do believe there are better options out there so I would urge you to keep looking.

> 3 dayI recently purchased this projector as a birthday present, it never worked. I received it on Oct 12th and the following day asked to return it, since the projector lamp does not work. Still waiting for an answer from amazon. Very dissapointe,d so far, with amazon customer service (more taking into account that I am a customer since 2011) Do not buy this product

> 3 dayWe had the Optoma HD71 and upgraded to this one. What a difference. We use an Xbox to run all our streaming serves, and Blurays, so everything is in 4k on an 100 inch screen. Great picture quality. Well worth the money, we will use this for years to come.

> 3 dayI did not own any other projector before this. I have a huge love for cinema so I decided to create a home theater on a budget with no help. I did not want to buy a cheap one and suffer with the quality, so I took the chance and invested in this one. I did hours upon hours of research, trying to see which one would be the highest quality under 1,000. There wasnt much information on this one compared to some more popular models so it was hard to make a decision especially with how untrustworthy some of the reviews can be on this website. I am very pleased and relieved to say that this was one of the best purchases that I have ever made. I use it almost every single day, I even use it to play competitive video games. The input delay is nonexistent, it is truly incredible. Such good quality too, the movies look incredible. I could not recommend this more, you will not be disappointed.

Greater than one weekThis is a GREAT projector, especially for the money. Its quiet, can be used in a room with the lights on, and has a crisp picture with good color. The ONLY thing Id say is that the refresh rate blurs rapid movement in video games such as call of duty or sports games such as Madden. Youll get used to it fairly quickly, but it is an adjustment and you have just a beat less time to react. Movies HD and above look absolutely fantastic.
