I pulled this projector straight out of the box and hooked it up to a regular amazon fire stick. The only thing I changed was setting the brigtness to ECO mode. The picture is so clear and sharp. Projectors have improved so much in the last few years. I'm going to be using this projector out side on a 17 ft inflatable screen. I've used it both during the day and night indoors. The day doesn't take much away from screen. I could still see very well. For the price you're not going to get anything better. I highly recommend.

Pros: setup were quite easy. Picture Quality is great for a mid-range priced projector. Cons: built-in speakers, fan motor a bit loud (can’t hear it if you have surround sound setup), it starts to warm up or heat up after 30 mins of use. Remote control (well mine) I can’t turn on the device only off. This happened after the 3rd use.

This projector is bright and displays a crisp 1080p image. It fits perfectly in the screen I got and is not blurry anywhere when focused correctly!. It comes with 2 HDMI ports and a USB port close by to plug a streaming stick into. The only problem I have is with the IR sensor placement for the remote. It is located on top of the projector, which would be great if it were ceiling mounted, but on a table the remote gets awkward to use.

Very good for the price. Great 3D. Great picture in the dark not so much in the light. Can be a little noisy at times. Good if your looking for 3D

This is the next step up from the Optima 142, slightly bigger and longer bulb life... Time will tell... This unit has minimal features, inputs/output. Since there are very few reviews on the internet on this I did a lot of reading on what the projector had to offer and compared it to the 142 model performance is similar. Best buy has that model for sale so you should go read a few of those reviews as well. All I was looking for was two HDMI inputs and 1080p. If you are looking for a great picture for 1080p projector then this will do. The picture looks great with the projector at 28 feet from the wall. I have watched a few blue ray movies on this projector and am impressed in the quality of the image for the price. I do not believe you can find a better quality image and life of bulb in any other projector for 1080p. I now have to paint the wall because the image of this projector show all the imperfections on the wall as my previous 720 projector just did not produce the resolution, color quality or brightness to show this new problem.
