Bought this projector lamp went out a month later. Had the projector replaced a year later projector will not stay on after about a minute. Tech support tell you to send the projector back for repair at your expense shipping and all. This is poorly made waste of money. Had a BenQ for years never had this problem, projector still works with the first lamp.

Needed something to replace a fried Epson projector and this one exceeded my expectations, especially at the price point.

**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.

Despite the product image showing a 3D sync port, my device does not have one, rendering my 4 pairs of shutter glasses useless. It was the main reason I decided on this projector. However, the projector itself is very nice. The built-in speakers are pretty terrible, but that was to be expected. I bought 2 pairs of DLP Link glasses because I have so many 3D blurays, I didnt want to just not be able to watch them and we were all impressed with the picture of this device. For the price, it feels like a good deal to me. I was really impressed with the image quality watching Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse. There were many things I didnt notice watching on my 4K HDR TV. I dont even know how that is possible, but it is. This is not a 4k projector, but the detail in the image seems better than my 4K TV? Anyway, it is good value. There is a noticeable rainbow effect when moving my head, which was to be expected with a DLP projector. I would give it 4 stars if it came with the 3D Sync port as shown in the product photo. I assume it is something they fazed out in more recent production with 3D becoming less popular, but I was very disappointed: BUT the fam liked it enough as in to make it worth keeping for me.

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.

Dont buy this. Firstly I bought this projector on 1/16/21 for $694.48 so it has experienced about a 50% price increase while slowly moving towards being outdated. Aside from the price this thing is just a pain. Its very dull, loud, cant run for long, will heat an entire room, but most importantly it will fail for one reason or another and when it does there is only one service center in the country which is in CA.

good

The projetor image just died on me. It shows image for 5 seconds then its gone. I bought it last year September so its not that old.

Amazing home theater experience at an affordable price with amazing picture quality!

So I had a cheap Wimius projector I got for like $200. When I turned this projector on, it completely made the Wimius projectors picture disappear, thats how bright it is. This is True 4000 Ansi Lumens it is BRIGHT. The colors are vivid and beautiful. Its well worth the money. I also saw in the reviews the audio isnt good. I leave my volume on 1, its more than enough for a bedroom or living room. Anything more than 1 is kinda too loud for me. Obviously there are better prjectors out there in the $1000+ range but this projector will blow your mind if youre new to projectors. It looks just as good as my 4k 240hz UHD Samsung TV. Only complaint is, it get HOT. Almost too hot to touch. But that can be expected since its a damn light cannon!
