From the trusted Optoma, comes this excellent 720p Home Theater masterpiece. It is one of the brightest projectors in it's class, great for big images and moderate ambient light. Features aplenty; This thing is beautiful - even right out of the box with pre-configured settings. Also, it is small and light-weight to boot. My single complaint is the lack of an Economy mode; although you can achieve the equivalent effect with more than a 50% light reduction (to increase lamp life) by turning off advanced image features. I researched this true big-screen purchase for weeks with a moderate budget in mind. I wanted an HD projector to project a 200" display for a theater movie experience, as well as video games - and this projector is it! Optoma is praised for offering this little beast at such a reasonable price.Read full review
What do I love about this product? The price was great..How can you beat a high definition projector for around $700 to $800 on ebay? Although it doesn't feature 1080p the quality is still great. I'm actually using this projector through a "HTPC". If you are not familiar with this it is a Home Theater PC; a computer with dvd, running to the projector. By having the resolution at 720p 1280x720 on my computer and then on the projector makes the image quality amazing for both DVD's and online gaming! Projectors are great because you can get a 120" movie theater for under $1,000. Another great part of the Optoma HD65 is the throw distance. Even if you have a small room, the screen size will still be huge, with the zoom (keeping the quality still). The lamp is the average 2000 hours on all modes. The warranty on this product is also an excellent 2 years. The Optoma HD65 is a very small and lightweight projector. I actually have it on a small shelf in my room. You can easily bring it to a friend's house or anywhere for some fun movie nights! The brightness and quality is that great that I don't even use an actual screen; instead I have a white wall. Having gaming, movies, & television at such a huge image with great quality for this price is truly amazing. Other reviews for this product by others are also great. If you decide to hook this projector up to a computer, don't hesitate to contact me because there is a program called the K-Lite codec pack, which with ffdshow the images will be even more clear and crisp!

For under $1000 this little projector pacts a huge punch. Great picture with 720p native resolution and compatible to 1080p. Noise from the projector is very limited and completely unnoticeable when watching a movie or tv. I guess you would be able to hear it in the background noise if all you were doing was looking at pictures using your laptop while connected to the projector, but why would you misuse such a beautiful piece of equipment? The one downfall of this projector is the extremely limited zoom capabilities. I find myself buying a screen to fit the projector when it should be the other way around. I should be buying whatever size screen I freakin' want and should not have to worry about whether or not it will be too big or too small in relation to the ability my projector has. This projector dictates the size of your screen based on the distance it is shooting from. But, for the price, in my opinion it is well worth it.Read full review
Considering the price of this little projector, I'd have to say it's the best purchase I've ever made. Now it is by no means perfect. When upconverting standard def media it does have a grain to it. I've only run true 720P HD into it from my Roku box but the HD looks much smoother and very vibrant. There's a lot of adjustments that can be made as well, but for the most part it's perfect right out of the box. Without upconverting standard def it has a very heavy screen door effect on the picture. Not so bad that it's unbearable, but it's definitely there and noticeable without looking for it. It has a short throw so it's great for small rooms. My living room is about 16' long and the projector is around 9' from the wall it's projecting on. my picture is around 72" and looks fantastic. I highly recommend this projector to anyone looking to make a home theater system. It turns on faster than my LCD projector and shuts down faster than any projector I've ever used. Enjoy HD and a large screen at a fraction of the cost of a flat screen TV!Read full review
I wanted a new projector that had 1080p capablities and I almost bought one and Best Buy for $1500 and it was real big and heavy, but it was out of stock. I went home and looked on ebay for one. I found this Optima hd65 for $675 new. I thought is was a typo on the 1080p part. I went to the manufacturers website, and found that it was accurate. So I bought it along with a new ps3, 84" screen, 20' hdmi cable and still saved $300 by not buying the one at Best Buy. It works great, great picture. I even have a friend that is going to by one soon. There are only 2 small problems with it, 1 it makes a slight electric sound even when its off, and 2 if you put it in a small room it will heat the room up after a couple hours if the door(s) is closed. The first problem is minor and I do not know if it can be fixed, but the 2nd I think I figured out how. I have mine mounted on the ceiling so it is only about 8" away from the ceiling. I purchased a white plastic flexable rain gutter drain ($6) that can go 8" to 18" if streached all the way. I will mount one end into the attic and the other to the front of the projector. The size of the gutter drain is the same as the opening of the heat exhaust of the projector, about 2"x3" so hopefully that will do the trick. Also sence it is white like the projector, hopefully it will look factory. If you put it in a big room you sould not even notice any excess heat. I have another projector in my living room and have no heat issues. Hope this will help someone out there!Read full review
