4 out of 5 stars Optoma HD 70 Projector.......2007-12-24

Very good product. Good value for money.
Everything delivered on time and in perfect conditions, as agreed at the moment of the purchase.

5 out of 5 stars Great for the price.......2007-12-12

Projectors are moving so fast today that it imo is not worth buying a pj over $2000. The Optoma HD70 at $1000 is an excellent deal.

After a quick calibration the picture looks vivid and natural. Excellent black levels, great flesh tones...simply beautiful. I'm running about 80" from 10' away and I've been enjoying it a great deal.

It's not loud, even though it's literally 3' from my ears. It's easy to use, easy to set up...there's not much more I want.

The only thing I wish it did have was lens shift, but it's hard to find that in a DLP pj under $3000.

A comparable projector is the Mitsubishi HC1500

5 out of 5 stars Still blown away.......2007-11-12

I've had my HD70 about 3 months now, and I'm still blown away. I work as a projectionist in a movie theatre and I've been playing with Video Projectors for a long time and bringing them home to test. I also show 16mm and Super 8 films in my living room and nothing until now ever came close to the look of real film. I have mine mounted on the ceiling, but I do have very high old Victorian Ceilings, so the off set was not a big deal, plus the mount I bought adjusts very easily. I use about 7ft of my 9ft wide pull down screen so the full 16.9 image is about 7 x 5 feet. (I never cared for that silly salesman diagonal inches crap). Even with the bulb setting in economy and all the fancy AI Image stuff turned off, this projector just blows me away. Some one mentioned not being able to find the right screws to mount this projector, I just took the Manuel to the local True Value Hardware store and asked the guy if he had these screws. He walked over to a big wall full of fasteners and gave me exactly what I needed and told me to come back if they didn't fit. Something to be said for supporting your local Mom & Pop stores when ever you can. I also bought an HD tuner and an upscaling DVD player. Over the Air HD looks fantastic. I watched most of the World Series in Hi Def this year. I can't imagine what 1080p looks like. Oh and yes, the beginning of Star Wars III is the closest we can get to the pure digital signal on regular DVD so far, and it is amazing on this projector. It's a great sequence to show off your machinery. One thing I might mention... when you blow up an image this big, you are going to see the imperfections of lesser resolutions. For instance, Broadcast HD is still working out the bugs, and so you will hear changes in Volume and see changes in Resolution you won't see on regular TV because they are still working out the bugs. It's not your Projector or your sound system, it's the Broadcast, and I'm talking about NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX and PBS etc. You'll also notice the resolution changes much more on this huge image compared to a regular HDTV. It's just so much bigger, you're going to see it. We took my machine over to another film buffs home and tried it on his 12ft wide screen and it looked a little dim, but we forgot we still had the bulb set on economy. A 7ft wide screen is still really big for the average living room and it looks terrific at that size. Oh, one more thing I noticed, speaking of Star Wars. I was looking at the DVD of Return of the Jedi and it looked really fake and dated, but the others, New Hope and Empire didn't, so I don't know what George did wrong there, but all the filmed matte shots looked obvious and had black seams around them. Very noticeable on the big screen. I look forward to seeing my favorite films on HD or Blue Ray someday, but I'll wait until one of them dies before I go nuts. I have walls of Beta Tapes and nothing to play them on as it is...

5 out of 5 stars Calibrates to outstanding picture.......2007-11-10

I previously owned an Optoma H31 and was extremely happy with it to the point that I just didn't need to gawk at the plasmas and LCD widescreen TV's at Bestbuy anymore. I was hoping for a modest upgrade with the HD70 since it cost me about the same to sell my H31 and upgrade as it does to simply buy a new bulb for it.

When I first hooked up and viewed the HD70 on a white screen, I was impressed with the 1280x720 picture. It made my computer feed perfectly viewable and pleasant to look at. With the H31 I had to view the screen in 480p to get a sharp and readable display. But this kind of resolution makes the icons huge and very little can fit on the screen. HD through Vista Media Center looks much better as well.

What really makes this projector outstanding is when you pair it with a nice upconverting DVD player (I can't speak for HD players, I don't have one). I have the Oppo 970-HD. I set the output to 720p upconversion. Then, you need to spend a little bit of time calibrating the signal. You don't HAVE to buy Avia. For now, what I did was go on a forum online where users post their own settings. I did this and then fine-tuned. One thing that really brings out the oustanding potential of this projector is to turn the color down so that the picture (especially the fleshtones) look natural, not overly sunburned. Then, I turned up the Brilliant Color to a brightness that wasn't too unnatural looking. Sharpness is at max as well.

The results are outstanding if you are patient after some minor calibrating!! I can only imagine what professional calibration would look like!

5 out of 5 stars AWESOME.......2007-11-08

I love it. I have it in a basement in which all windows face north, so there is very little ambient light. I do not know how it would do in a lit-up room, but in the darkness, it is just plain awesome. My wife loves it, too. I have a 92" pull-down wide-screen with no fancy things like gain (whatever that is) and it works fine.

1 out of 5 stars WATCH OUT!!!.......2007-06-25

This mount does not allow for installation heights between 4 inches to 2 feet as advertised.

There's a mistake in the poorly written instructions, the correct installation heights are either flush mount @ 4.2 inches, OR when using the extension rod, a range between 16.1 to 24.4 inches, NOT seamlessly between 4" - 24" as the product info states.

This is the second mount that I purchase from Amazon with incorrect description...

Amazon, get it right!!!
