This projector is amazing but not perfect

This is the second projector I have bought from Optoma and I am a big fan of their products. The image quality, sharpness, contrast, the low input lag 16m/s are all incredible with some good black levels that gets you immersed in movies and games. There is only one thing I wish they had in this projector which is Frame interpolation. The image can get blurry when fast paced scenes happen in movies or games, sometimes it caused my siblings to be motion sick at times. It is mentioned that this projector can project an image up to 300 inches and my current setup is at 262 inches. I am wondering maybe the bigger the screen the more noticeable the motion blur is, but in my mind the bigger the screen the better. That is my only problem with this projector otherwise everything else is awesome!

Perfect

I bought this half a year ago, we use it mainly for home theater and project it on a 140-inch white wall. Great quality. like almost all projectors sunlight significantly reduces the quality so we close the shades. Short throw - we get 130 inch from approx. 4 feet which is perfect audio - good for most usages, even for most movies. Not enough for a real cinema experience. Altogether it's exactly what we wanted. Perfect for all our family's needs.

I was surprised at how bright and clear the image is, even on a 110" screen. The setup menu is easy to use, and since there is a "Test Grid" feature, aligning and mounting the projector was not difficult. Very pleased with the purchase.

This projector is awesome! The short throw makes it very portable and we have enjoyed using it on our back deck. The low input lag makes it great for playing video games. Highly recommended.

After a long time searching, I stumbled on this projector. I was torn between Epson and Benq equivalents but I needed a short throw and something powerful enough to replace my TV. For the price point and features, this projector is hard to beat. There is a reason why it has stellar reviews because it lives up to its hype.

Awesome Projector. It really enhances the details in video games! Not only that but I was amazed at how bright the image is. It can be seen clearly even in a well lit room. Also, video's and movies look amazing...by far the best projector I've ever owned. I highly recommend this product.

The quality is amazing! I'm using it on a 120" screen and you can see the difference with darbee. The quality is clearer than other projectors. Short through works well on my limited space. I have not tried it on gaming since I have a full gaming pc & monitor set up but it's suppose to be good. I bought some 3D glasses and it gives it a true theater experience. Despite saying it's 4:3, it also does 16:9. There is a button to switch between the two.

Best thing I ever bought

This is the best projector ever! I bought it on a wim my senior year of college and it transformed our dumpy college living room into a Bow Tie cinema (chicks loved it...not a big deal. I have had it for 3 years now and have never had a single issue with it. Still works perfect, picture is perfect, makes any TV/movie/gaming experience excellent. Really can't say enough good stuff about this product. Overall, love this projector and would 100% recommend buying it.
