EXCELLENT!!! BUY THIS ONE OPTOMA H-31! Jul 29, 2005 By Paul R. Hawkins
I did alot of online shopping, reviewing, studied alot of info. and I made the Correct choice. The Optoma H-31 is the projector to buy. Everything that I read online and dug out about this projector is accurate. IT SHINES excellent. DVD with componet cables off a new Panosonic ES10 is breath taking. NO screen door effect until you get close as about 4 feet. This on an Optoma Screen 92 inch diag. from a projected distance of 13 feet. Viewing distance is from about 9 feet back. Skin tones are spectacular REAL Film could not be better. I see things in old videos that I never saw before.

For example, Like test your eyes on your own stuff that you have now Tv dvd or tape.See if in the pool scene in Caddy Shack if you can see the Caddy's tan lines. This projector will let you see awesome detail.The Optoma screen puts out enough light to read buy in a darkend room. The resolution is superb.

All for less than a plasma or rear projector box occupying floor space. Direct TV with S-video is excellent.

GO ahead an try it Amazon has an excellent return policy.

Better than advertised Dec 14, 2005 By M. Stutts "Moviewatcher"
I was hesitant when I purchased this projector because it was listed as only having 850 lumens for viewing, but this projector has out performed any projector I have ever used for home cinema applications. When I first turned it on an incredibly bright, sharp image projected from approxiamately 18 feet away onto the opposite wall! I have used it in a variety of applications to include: satellite, DVD, and XBOX. I am tickled to death to know that I have spent at least half what my friends have spent for big screen televisions. I can also move it with without the use of a dolly and I can still project the picture over six feet tall! I have never written a review before and have been simply compelled to offer my experience because I value what others have shared in the past. In my opinion, it is well worth the price.

Outstanding value Apr 15, 2006 By Andrew D. Rodney
I did a fair amount of research when I wanted to get a Video Projector for Home Theater as well as hooking up to my Macs (a Powerbook on location for presentations). Read the other reviews here on Amazon because I think by and large, I agree after testing this new unit with those who rated it highly. While the lumen spec seems low, the unit produces bright and clear images out of the box in a darkened room. If you have room darkening blinds or show at night, even on a white wall, the quality is excellent. I am using a DVD player with HDMI output to the Optima using DVI. Don't skimp, use this all digital connection if you can (and get a good cable). The quality of the two films I viewed (2001: A Space Odyssey and The Fifth Element) looked clear and clean with superb colors using the "Cinema" mode right out of the box. I do have a calibration DVD I might mess with but I have to say, I think I might just leave everything alone (if it ain't broke...). I'm pretty critical of color and the Optima does have lots of controls to affect tone and color but I'm not sure I'm going to mess around until I see a lot more output.

The unit is very light, comes with a nice carrying case. The remote is backlit which is nice. With the [...], I spent less than [...] and I'm blown away at the quality of the product considering what you used to have to spend on a projector (and still can). While I still love my 56" Samsung DPL projection HDTV, the H31 looks better to me and cost a lot less money. You will not be disappointed with the quality assuming you have good viewing conditions and use DVI.

Incredible and good price and make it better with HD DVD Player! Jul 13, 2006 By Kevin Lee "Author of Gypsy Dreamer"
I bought this one year ago today. I use it every day and it is excellent.

I am using component cables, fiber audio cable from the DVD and 16 guage wire for the speakers for a $250 Sony audio system I bought. I put the show directly on a white/cream wall and it is great. I see no rainbow, etc. I would suggest anyone buying it to use Component Cables for video. I am color blind but with these cables I could definitely see the difference.

I hope it lasts a good long time and bulbs are available. This was an excellent buy. I have had this thing about a year now and it is still going strong. I am using an HD DVD player with a DVI cable and the results are great. You do need a dark room but it is easier and less expensive than buying an LCD TV and the screen is MUCH larger. After a year of daily use, it is still great!

Excellent Cinema Quality. Worth Every Penny !! Jun 14, 2006 By Ruhil - The SWPilot "AZ Pilot, IT Geek and Photographer"
I recently bought this product after about a month of research & Wow it really shows its worth as a true cinema projector straight out of the box.Although you may want to deactivate Keystone feature & tweak the white balance for enhanced picture quality. Do use the Component / DVI interfaces to your DVD player/ Laptop for a true 16:9 High Definition experiance. The unit is capable of displaying brilliant picture upto 16 ft across from 24-30 fts without losing the sharpness. The unit is absolutely quiet albeit emitting heat from the lamp, duly cooled by the in-built fan. The remote control is great with backlit buttons. Overall it easily surpasses both in quality & built when compared to more expensive projectors available today.
