This projector rocks the house But watch out for fraud e-tailers.......2007-05-10
Love the projector, but the process of getting to this point was longer than it should have been b/c I tried to follow my nose for a good bargain and tried a less than reputable e-tailer....broadway, prestige, and some others are all the same....if you call any of them you get the same person on the other end trying to con you. They advertise it for $[...]-$[...] rebate=$[...]; that is a great deal until they tell you that they were just kidding.....
I did a general search on best prices for Optoma HD72 and it leads me to a website called shopcart USA, a site similar to pricegrabber.com which is supposed to compare prices of various products online and direct you to the best buy. Broadway photo ultimately had the best price, and based on store reviews I thought I would take the risk and try a retailer that I am unfamiliar with. After placing my order, I received an e-mail that tells me that they need to verify my order and to call them. Once I make that call the person on the other in verifies my information and then proceeds to tell me that there are two different versions of this product (OPTOMA HD72), a US version and an international version. The US version does not come with a lighting unit and that is why it costs $[...] (-$[...]manufacturer rebate) whereas the international version costs ($[...]) the same or about the same as all of the reputable sites online such as Amazon or Tigerdirect. To tell you the truth I don't think there are two different versions and if there are this website is deceptive in their advertisement and trying to upsell once they have you on the phone. Buyer beware!!! I always try to document my experiences with retailers because that is the only way we can be an informed consumer. So if anybody else has had the same sort of experience with this retailer be sure to write in.
Optoma Projector.......2007-05-08
This projector is very good value for money. The picture in all formats is excellent even though I project onto a wall which is covered by a white vinyl wallpaper. The only thing missing is the ability to remotely focus. If you are thinking of buying this projector take a look at the screen size calculator at Optoma.com. I made the mistake of mounting it at the same place as my old Sharp projector and the display would not fit the available space on my wall. I recommend buying the matching Optoma ceiling mount, if you intend to mount it on the ceiling.

I completely love the HD72 (HD6800).......2007-04-19
I had an Optoma H27 but felt it was lacking the brightness I liked on TV, and I heard that HD72 was much better. So I returned my H27 to Costco and got the HD6800, which is Costco's version of the HD72. Wow, "much better" hardly describes it! The brightness is incredible, and the detail and colors are truly remarkable. The other night, I was trying out different DVDs just to see what they looked like on the new system, and I was totally blown away.
While it does upscale DVD images to look better on its system, I also bought a Sony upscaling DVD player and there is a significant improvement with it with the HDMI connection. I had read that since they are both upscaling, the DVD player's upscaling wouldn't be necessary, but I do find the image through the upscaling DVD the best in a side-by-side test using two Sony DVD players and two DVDs of the recently restored "Carousel" using component, s-video, and HDMI at the same time, all connected to the HD72. I saw clearer detail on faces coming from the HDMI upscaling DVD player.
I was so impressed, I felt like pulling in people from the street to see it, but I fought the impulse because I don't want to share it with anyone.
With a little tweaking of the menus, new films like "Star Wars III" and "Sin City" showed incredible detail, and older films like "The Adventures of Robin Hood" were gorgeous in their Technicolor glory.
I highly recommend the HD72.
BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-01-06
I graduated from a 4 year old In-Focus projector,which served me very well, but this is an incredible jump up in quality. The old projector cost $5k!!! I know there are projectors for big bucks,but why would anyone need anything more. Unless the more expensive units can provide x-ray vision for Jennifer Aniston movies, I don't get it.
This unit was rated #1 by Consumer Reports- that is how I found it (after settling on a new In-focus IN76). This unit, which had a net cost after rebates of $1450.00, is a joy to the eyes and the pocketbook.
Only minor drawback is lack of digital focus from the remote.
Buy it!
great for the price.......2006-08-14
For the price this is a great projector. The colors are excellent, and the brightness is pretty good. The picture is better than you will see in a movie theater, but it is not quite as good as my 55" HD tv. If you are looking for picture size though with a good quality picture this will work well.
