Optoma Portable Projector - working fine.......2007-02-18

I've been using my Optima EP719 DLP projector fro about a month now and I am well satisfied with the performance and low noise level. I use it teaching a college class and it is bright enough for good visibility in a classroom even when the shades are not fully closed. Set up and connecting to the computer is easy. The keystone adjustment is easy to use - better than on some other units I've used. I had hoped the "remote" would allow changing slides on PowerPoint presentations but this remote only talks to the projector, a feature of limited use. I think this is a good value unit for the price.

Customer Service SUCKS!.......2007-02-06

While I have my projector for 5 months, it stopped working and upon servicing it, Optoma returned it stating I needed to purchase a new lamp. The customer service representative said that it was my bad luck of the draw and there was nothing I could do but buy a new lamp on my own dime....go figure, great support. I will never buy from them again.

best bang for the buck.......2007-01-11

I researched many dlp projectors, before buying this one. I believe I got the best bang for the buck. It is a very versatile product. I am using it for both home theater and as a portable projector for videos and slideshows. The Positives are: 1) price, good price for a 1024 x 768 native resolution. 2 ) 2500:1 contrast ratio, one of the highest in this price range. 3) 2000:1 lumens, I play it on a bare, flat white wall, it looks as clear and crisp as any movie theater, can't wait to get my "screen goo" paint, for my wall. 4) operation noise, fairly quiet in the normal mode, on economy mode it is ultra quiet, can't hear projector at all. 5) keystone works great. I have my projector behind me on a shelf, near the ceiling, it creates an angle of projection. The keystone flattens out the picture, so it looks as like it should.
Negatives: not many but, a few minor annoyances. 1) The adjustment arm It is not centered. Why, I don't know. With a ceiling mount, it would be of no consequence. 2) Lens cap, everytime I remove it, I have to refocus, a minor detail. 3) It has composite video, and S-video, but you have to buy an adapter for component video. Right now my component video adapter is on back order. However, I am using S-video, and am very happy with the clearity of the my movies. I doubt if I could tell much of a difference with the component cables but, would like to see.
Summary;
I paid less than $800 for it, delivered to my door. I play it at 96" diagonal. You cannot buy a new plasma, dlp, or lcd tv, with this size screen, for that price. I don't believe in giving 5-stars for a product, unless it was the ultimate, in every way. So, with the few minor annoyances, I give this projector a strong 4-star rating.

Works Great!.......2007-01-03

Works just like advertised....although, I would recommend a higher lumines...is a bit faded when wathcing during daylight with curtains drawn.

I did buy a extra-large window shade ($20) for a screen and works perfectly! I see no need to purchase some $150-$200 special screen!

Nice projector but bad odor.......2006-12-18

I recently bought this projector (not through Amazon) and ended up having to return it. It has a persistent burning odor. I thought it would go away after an hour or two, but three days later and many hours, it was just as bad. It was so bad that my wife opened up the windows in our house and it was in the 20s outside.

I liked everything else about the projector. It was light and fairly small. The fan was quite and the picture was bright. If it didn't smell so bad, I would have kept it.
