Optoma - HD28HDR 1080p Projector - White

I stepped up from a 60 inch vizio to a 120 inch projector setup! Every night is movie night at my house!

No, I am not an expert who can tell the difference between authentic color reproduction and one that's off a little, even more than a little. Frankly, a little less than perfect is fine for me. I have enough perfection for a lifetime and at my age that's not a lot. I have a large almost white wall and project more than a 13 foot image from a TV tuner and/or cd player/cd, or recording on a hard disk. BTW, I am a EE and a lawyer and have been using an inexpensive projector for more years than I can remember. That being said, it's a vast improvement over the unit that self destructed after about ten years. Considering the price, I think it's great. Nice bright, clear and well colored presentation. Didn't see any unpleasant fringing, didn't see anything like that even if it was in the reviews. My only gripe, there is no manual in the box, (I hate going on line for one), and there were no registration materials in the box. Optoma told me where to go to get them (online of course) and I am thinking of telling them where they can go as well for their future customers. It's nice that people are so helpful to each other. None the less, there were no setup instructions and I couldn''t even see the one page something with micro print. That come in handy when I needed something to rest my coffee cup on. Back to the projector, Best Buy delivered quickly, and before the date it had promised. Unpacking was easy if not disappointing for the lack of any paperwork and manual. The unit was relatively easy to set up without too many thoughts of throwing against the wall for lack of a manual or even the most rudimentary instructions. Okay, I thought of it but couldn't return it if it didnt work. once I got it working, it's really bright and I didn't need to darken the room at all to watch it. When I put it on low power I could not hear the fan, but I am worried that the brightness really only dimmed ever so slightly. I wonder what should happen on low power and if it is working properly. I'd read the manual to find out if I had one. It's got lots of features and I'll try them when I read the manual, someday. In the meantime, the projection is great on my 28 year old painted wall, it's spectacular. I can't wait to find out if it is set up correctly. Yeah, I need to read the manual. Maybe they will do the right thing for a 78 year old engineer/lawyer who enjoys helping clients who have been treated badly. Do you think I have been treated badly, you know, no manual? Lets see, I gave a good plug for Best Buy, they deserve it, if you haven;t figured it out, I like the projector and I'll keep it, just wish I had a real manual. Come on Optoma, I don't think I'll sue you for one crummy real manual, I think, nah, that would be rude, ya think? I would recommend it to a friend if I knew he was capable of installing it without a manual, or to someone I didn't care for who I knew was technically inept. At my age you get to say what you think, and I would say I know what Optoma should do, and it's customers like me who really let them know. I am so glad to be of service. No, I would not like a copy off an office printer, I have four in the office and another at home. A real manual, bound, that will proudly take it's place in a pile of other manuals.

We absolutely LOVE this projector! Incredible image quality, sharp and colorful, and since we always run it on ECO mode (and it's still almost too bright), it is whisper quiet. Overall a fantastic machine that I would recommend to anyone!

I bought this for our church to replace our old projector. It is way better than expected. I put it on Eco mode and it still outshines our old one. I’m very impressed with it. We have lights on stage and it still shines through.

Needed a new projector has ours finally quit. This one works great and is easy to use

Great projector. Excellent quality and great value. Not to back even in daylight but amazing and vivid in the dark. Highly recommend it. Eaasy set-up. Bought this one and another refurbished projector only returned this one because the other had better features at the same price point.

It was fine but the throw distance was not what I was expecting

Good projector…. Unless you are going to spend the extra $$ for a 4K projector this is the one to buy. HDR and 120 hz gaming mode.
