I have owned this projector for a month now, and I am projecting onto a 130" screen with the WXGA Model (recommended for home theater viewing).Pros:-Price; you will not find a better home theater video solution for less money.-Reliability; Optoma has been making projectors for a long time and have great reviews regarding project longevity-Great picture for Blu-ray source material, and 720p sources-Good contrast ratio for the price, blacks are pretty dark-Good source detection and switching, in a speedy fashion, except PC res, see below-On-board speaker works pretty well if you needed it in a pinch, about on par with a small radio for volume (I have a proper 5.1 system set up, of course)-Fantastic imaging during high speed action sequences, I expected artifacts or blurring without auto-iris, but I have yet to see a scene that doesn't match film for frame qualityCons:-Noisy. I don't know how other reviewers can say this unit is quiet, unless it is stuffed in some sort of enclosure (bad idea for heat). I have mine ceiling mounted and while it is not a deal breaker for me, considering the price and quality of the picture, it is about as loud as portable stand-up house fan on medium. You get used to it, but you still know it's there.-Not native 1080p. I know, this cannot be a con since it is obviously not a full hd unit. This does not bother me at all watching Blu-rays, which look fantastic, and I thought I would just take a chance that PC gaming might be tolerable on this unit. It is not. Game UI becomes huge and fills the screen and images have blurry details and text, and this is with a new $430 graphics card. I also cannot adjust the resolution on my computer because the projector loses the source for the same amount of time the computer asks you if you want to keep your changes on countdown, resulting in an endless loop of not being able to change your screen resolution on the computer.-Aesthetics are bleh. Looks better in the photos, and not real eye pleaser. Fortunately I look at the screen most of the time.-Rainbow effect is present. Everyone I ask can make it happen by looking back and forth on the screen. It is DLP though, and that is the nature of the beast.-Amazon Shipping not satisfactory. I ordered this among other items to complete my home theater setup. Items that were not fulfilled by Amazon arrived in a couple of days. Items that were fulfilled by them took 4 BUSINESS DAYS to leave the warehouse and 9 business days (11 total days) to reach my home. Horrible.Overall:For the price I would recommend this projector to anyone on a budget that will settle with a great but not stellar projection experience. High quality source material will make for a very enjoyable home movie night at a fraction of the cost of most home theater systems. To sum it all up, if you are not affluent - buy it; if you are - quit being so cheap.

All we as buyers have to go off of is customer reviews on products right..So I will make this short and sweet..I got lucky and bought a product at a great price that has a great contrast 5000:1 ratio and it shows.....The main purpose I bought this unit is for family movie night with the wife and kids.After the first use with this projector I loved it so much!I know what your thinking, do I have a projector to compare it to?No I dont, however I work for the state that has an optoma hd33.Actually I wanted to buy one of those projector but they were way out of reach for me price wise.Anyhow I started looking and reading and looking and reading to were my wife said I was crazy lol. I just wanted to make sure I was making a good buy right.Anyhow I give up on several different models and keep coming back to Optoma sense the hd20 and hd33 were rated so great over and over again.......Sense I wasnt able to get my hands on the hd33 I came up on this little unit.The reviews were good but not enough for me to comit untill I seen the price.I said to myself really?5000:1 contrast?1080p REALLY?Whats the catch its got to a used price right..Nope, new on the market with not even a youtube video to go by.So I took a deep breath and clicked the magic buy button.......... I took the plunge and I am glad I did.I was able to do a side by side test on a plain white wall with no lights on.I must admit the hd33 was a touch better in contrast than mine was at first with better blacks and a brighter picture.I went to the lamp mode and turned it to bright then sat back and just smiled at my little projector sticking its chest out..I was so happy I didnt spend the 1000.00 on a used hd33 and bought this jewl new with a nice carry case and remote and batteries for free.Friends this sucker is freaking great!!Not to mention it has a fast refresh rate were the image doesnt blur in fast action movies or even in FPS video games like COD and Socom Confrontation.I also like to add I now use this projector in place of my 720 hd tv I bought here on amazon.I rated that product great with no input lag and the same goes for this projector.WoW 10 stars for me.Thanks optoma for such a great projector that is priced for a family man on a budget!!!I 10 stars ..Lets hope the lamp runs it full course or better..I will update after my extreme consistant hardcore use.

It only worked once and I am not able to get any support from the Optoma company. I cannot even get an online manual for this model. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PROJECTOR. BUY ANY PROJECTOR FROM A STORE THAT YOU CAN TAKE IT BACK TO IF IT DOES NOT WORK. I AM OUT ABOUT $500 WHICH INCLUDES THE MONEY WASTED ON AMAZON'S WARRANTY COMPANY - SquareTrade 3-Year Office Warranty I will have to buy a new projector from a brick and mortar store.

I purchased this lamp early October 2012 to replace a 5-year old Acer projector which the color wheel disintegrated. It had gone through two lamps well over 4000 hours without problems. Amazon shipped this unit next day and I was amazed at the great image quality this projector showed. Stunning colors and very bright, all video was easily seen even in a fully lighted room. The units lamp began shutting down randomly within a month of use , but would turn on within a couple of minutes. Finally the lamp would not turn on at all- despite only having 125 hours of the stated 4000 hours. I called Optoma customer service and was informed I must return the entire unit at my expense to have it checked out. Their customer service website details their "optoma express" warranty program- in which they will send a replacement projector immediately with a return mail to send the defective unit back. The customer service rep informed me this does not apply to this model. I have owned several projectors since the 1990's and this is the first time any issue arose while under warranty. I would not purchase a Optoma product again and recommend others do not also.
