Bare Projector
Optoma HD66 720P Home Projector Wow!
Excellent!!!! Recomend highly. Chose the HD66 over the HD65 for the extra hrs of lamp life, and lumen output, 3D is a little out of reach for me but the price diff. was null, now maybe i’ll have a chance a 3D when it is readily avail. and not soooo crazy exspenive.(for the glasses $150.00 a pair?)
After I cracked the Screen on my LCD, I began anew. The original idea was to replace the LCD, but was not happy with my last one and price and quality were not matching up to my expectations. I had many reservations about a projector I have seen them in home theatres, but not that impressed. Big screen, yes image quality was iffy( maybe it was the setup, or the screen,(there are a lot of variables)technology has vastly improved since.
So I began researching, and almost stumbled across the optoma line. I was impressed, but not convinced. I read and read and talked to friends. Read some more, and decided that it was the best bang for my buck(wich was supposed to my myself a new 7.1 head unit).

Then there was the screen issue, exspenive, gain, etc. Should I buy over priced specialized paint? Well after even more research i found screen material on ebay, the sellers name is Chris Young and he sells different sizes and gain screens to fit you’re needs cheap. [...]. That is the link for the screen I purchased. I chose a high contrast screen because of the size image I would be projecting. From what I learned the closer and smaller the image the harder it is to control black levels and contrast. Also in ambient light or day time viewing situations the grey makes the picture appear more like the way it should. By the way the screen is awesome, it glows. I did a comparison with some white duck canvas I had considered using, I made the right decision.
Out of the box this projector looked phenominal,(sd dvd upscaled, mind you) was a little bright reduced the bulb to standard, the contrast and color to my liking and that was it. A little bit of screen door effect durring high contrast scenes, I fixed that by moving my couch back about 1 foot. I have not noticed much rainbow effect more than once or twice in a film, it happens so fast I don’t know if it is really there or if i’m phsyching my self out, or having flashbacks. Either way it is barely noticable, and does not effect me or the others who have whatched this negatively, in the least.
The remote setup is poor, I use a universal so no big deal.
More than enough menu options for the average user.
Mounting screws I felt should be a little larger(damn engineers!)
I think it looks better(more natural than my fathers new 55″ samsung LED) I wont tell him that since he paid 4 times the price for half the size picture!
And so after all my ramblings(hope it helped!)If this is in youre price range you are making a great decision this thing is amazing.
I am projecting an 80″ Diagonal screen on a grey high contrast .08 gain screen. Projecting from 10′ away my couch is about 11.6′away and this is awesome!
