Great "Entry Level" Projector
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Bluetooth, Design, Picture qualityThis is my first projector, and I did a lot of online research prior to selecting Optoma as a brand and this particular model, the HD146X. We have used this projector indoors, with a fixed screen, and outdoors with a portable screen. You won't be able to watch this (or any projector) outside in the daylight, but it provides a bright and clear picture in dusk and in a room with some daylight coming through window blinds. With 3600 lumens, watching during the daytime (as long as windows are somewhat covered) works quite well. At night, it looks really, really good. From sports, to movies, to video games, it projects a fantastic, bright, 1080P picture. It's easy to set up and operate, as well. It's not overly heavy, so it is easy to move from inside to outside, like we do. A couple of small negatives: (1) the projector, while touting itself as being quiet, is not "whisper quiet" and does put forth a "whirring" noise that you can hear quite audibly if you are sitting close to it; and (2) the built in speaker is NOT what you are going to want to use for anything, as it is not very loud at all, and is drowned out a bit by the noise of the fan/device. What we did is to hook a bluetooth transmitter to the audio out jack on the speaker and send the audio to a huge and powerful bluetooth speaker. With this setup, we have a full movie-theater like experience, and it drowns out the noise of the projector (easily) and is a really fantastic experience. With that setup, for example, we watched Star Wars in our driveway and it was just great. Overall, I would highly recommend this projector. I cannot compare it to a 4K projector, or even more expensive projectors generally, but for me, you get a great picture for the money.

Great projector
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5We purchased this projector to use outside and it has not disappointed us. We also compared/tested this against a cheaper projector found on a competitor website which had double the amount of lumens and this one was much brighter due to the high quality glass.

Do not buy this defective projector!
|Posted .Features
Quality1 out of 5Value1 out of 5Ease of Use1 out of 5I hate to even give this projector one star. The first one I ordered arrived with no remote. After much angst I finally got Best Buy to ship another one to me with the remote. It worked exactly one time. When I plugged it in to show a movie the next time I got a flashing blue light, fan came on, then the machine continued to shut of and on with no light. Reading through the help pages I have found this is a common problem and is not one that can be easily fixed. I am returning it and will never buy it again.

Very Good machine with a few issues
|Posted .Features
Quality4 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Design, Picture quality, SpeakersExcellent image reproduction with some degree of image control to allow your own adjustments of your source inputs. It’s bright enough to use in dimly lit spaces or at dusk without much fuss. Obviously, at its best when used in full darkness. Remote is useful. The only serious problem is the console audio speaker. It’s awful. The sound from the actual unit, even at full volume is low and non dimensional. It’s impossible to hear outdoors. What was the manufacturer thinking? It’s a joke. Luckily, there’s a mini plug audio aux output and if you attach a speaker or an amp, it passes the audio well to these sources that can really boost it. Adding an external speaker or patching it to your existing stereo system saves the sound. On every other level it’s a fine product. Not too heavy or big and it’s has a remarkable throw - meaning you can really enjoy BIG images with true clarity. Invest in a screen or come up with some innovate, cheap ideas with bedsheets. This is a worthwhile purchase. It looks very good and does the job - just get a speaker!

Great Picture but need additional speaker

Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:Bluetooth, Picture quality, SpeakersWe love this projector and use it for outdoor movie nights all the time! I really only have a couple complaints. The sound isn't very good but we Bluetooth (from either our laptop or firestick) to a speaker and it works very well! It gets really hot and take a little bit to cool down, not the end of the world. Overall, I would highly recommend this to a friend. The quality of the picture is amazing.

Q: QuestionDoes this projector come with a lens cover? If not, how does the manufacturer suggest we keep the lens protected? Thanks.
Asked by Ally.
- A:Answer unfortunately, it does not. And they don't seem to offer one you can purchase. I've been looking for an alternative solution, because I can't imagine that this lens is different from any other lens. All lenses should be protected when not in use.

Q: Questioncan this be used outdoors with a screen?
Asked by Bobb.
- A:Answer Absolutely, we use it both indoors and outdoors. We purchased a 120 inch outdoor screen, and we move the projector from indoors to outside when we want an outside movie night. Our setup includes, this projector, a projector stand, an outdoor portable screen, a bluetooth transmitter and a huge/powerful bluetooth speaker. It works fabulously to provide a great outdoor movie night experience. Note: the projector will NOT work in the daylight hours. No projector will, because the projection lamp isn't as bright as the sun. However, at dusk, it looks good, and then at night it looks spectacular.
