I really love this projector. It took some adjusting of colors and brightness. I found a good scene that was bright and showed a sky in the background and adjusted until i had good color and brightness untill the whites were not washed out and i could see the clouds properly. Definitely took some tweaking. But the picture is great. In bright mode i dont hear the fan and its only about 12 feet from my couch. I cant stress this enough but use an ambient light reflecting screen. Its important. The screen is meant for only receiving light from below. So it shows the projector light but doesnt get washed out by the room lights. I have three large windows in this room and watch during the day with lights on and blinds open and can see the picture just fine. Of course it washes out a tad. But its very watchable. In the pictures added i show no lights on and my recessed lights on full. The color washes a tad but it looks great. If you take the time to adjust color, brightness, contrast and other settings to make it look right. You will not be disappointed. I am using a 100 inch screen and the projector only sits about a foot from the wall. I also use an apple tv for all my apps. I don’t think the out of the box apps and connectivity is all that great. To get the best performance and apps, use a different streaming device. Fire tv or something. I also use a bose sound system. I have never used the speaker built in. If you plan on using a projector, you should use a receiver and external speakers and streaming device. Its going to give you the best sound and use of any apps you might want. The color and brightness are the best i have seen for the price sub 4k video quality of any projector i havr ever had. And i have had many. My old epson was very close, but was a ceiling mounted projector and i hate casting shadows on the screen. Adjustment to the screen is very usable. You have lots of options to get the picture correct and you can use screen shift if you need to use the projector at an angle. I do plan on upgrading to a 4k if i can find something for the right price that has this level of brightness. Dont hesitate to buy this projector. If all else fails, you have prime return. I hope this review helps you.

It’s true HD 1080P , setup was easy. Everything works, plays blu-rays in great detail, even streaming services look great, has an aux jack out for sound to a surround system if your crazy audio specific about your sound, otherwise it has an onboard speaker. Overall a great investment. Even plays 3D movies with a pair of DLP link Glasses, just make sure you have a 3D Blu ray media and a blu ray player that can play 3D.did not have the white around the LCD , that some complain about, where your picture on the wall ends and there would be slivers if light escaping around from how the LCD screen was installed in front of the lamp.I’ve used it with a Mac, a PC, Apple TV, Google Chromcast, it just works. Do not expect a 4K picture from a 1080p device, cause 4K is like 4 1080p devices stacked around each other.You can use a silver screen to improve screen image, but a smooth regular white wall looks amazing too!I can have lights on in the room and it not affect the image, stays bright and crisp. But once you turn the lights off, the images get deeper and brighter.If your looking for a large screen, but don’t want a Large TV, than I would totally suggest this.

I recently purchased a Polaroid UST. Not having a UST before, I thought the picture was decent enough; however thankfully, the Polaroid started going haywire within a month. Long story, but I bounced between a refund and a replacement. I chose the refund and took a chance on the Optoma. In short, I cant believe my eyes! The Polaroid was essentially at the same price point and the picture isnt even comparable-far superior. Also, USTs work best on fixed framed screens. I have a motorized screen (not compatible for USTs) and the screen waves with the Polaroid have been significantly reduced- to a point youd have to be a real audio visual snob to complain. My wife agrees! Its not just me: The Optoma unit is amazing! If a UST is on your wish list and youre not certain what you want to buy in the $1200 price range, Id recommend this unit 7 days of the week. My only complaint is the audio option. I had to buy a separate unit to manage the audio signal for my Roku. Im a cord cutter so getting sling is essential. The speaker on the unit isnt anything special. Overall, its awesome!!!!

This is my second projector upgrade. I moved to my new house and was unable to set up a normal ceiling mounted projector. So I started checking out the ultra short throw units. I went with this Optoma 1080 ultra short throw unit unit. I have it paired with a Silver Ticket 92” screen. I use this as our main do all TV in a well lit family room. Video quality It is OK and acceptable with some daylight. I can either close my blackout curtains or wait till the sun starts setting and the picture quality is very , very good. We mainly stream most of our digital content on a 4K Amazon FireStick paired to a Sony STR home theatre amplifier. we regularly have Optoma running for 3 to 5 hours straight. I have not had any issues with this unit in 6 months of use. Noise is not much of a issue but watch out for heat. One of my kids left a Nerf toy sitting on the left side heat exhaust port and that toy was burning hot to touch. Overall, I’m way super happy with this Optoma ultra short throw unit. It also has a lot of customization options as well.

Ended up getting this for a home theater project for a 100″ screen. My dad was adamant about getting a 4k projector and we decided if this one wasn’t enough we could return it. The picture looks AMAZING. Do not be turned off by 1080p resolution. It is different than a 1080p TV. I have a TV that’s half the size at 1080p and the picture is so much worse, the image on this does not look “low res” in any way. Colors are great, this is the brightest one we could find for our purpose. My one complaint is that the setup is not super intuitive – you can’t use the setup “grid” function while you’re resizing the picture (or at least I couldn’t figure out how). So it took a little while to get the picture set up. After we did though, hoo boy. We’ve been having whole family movie nights at least once or twice a week now and it’s so much fun. Fan is quiet and it turns on quickly enough, but if you haven’t used a projector before it does take a minute to turn on so that’s normal. It sits super close to the screen so any minute adjustments to the projector affect the image a lot so make sure you can get it dialed in the exact location it needs to be in.

I purchased this projector for theatrical use in situations where throw distance was minimal. This is great for projecting backdrops onto our 45′ X 16′ rear projection screen with only about 6′ of space behind the screen. Using two of these projectors and a video splitter (splits a single image onto multiple projectors for a combined single image) we were able to completely fill the width and height of the screen while lighting the faces of the actors in front of it.Most recently, I created the special effect of the rose sequence for “Beauty and the Beast” by projecting the video onto the back of a specially coated, 24″ X 30″ clear plexiglass screen by mounting it to the front of the projector, a throw distance of about 1′. It completely filled the screen and could be seen from the last row of a 1000 seat auditorium. Because of the projector’s size, it was easy to hide it from audience view by burying it in a set piece.

After a lot of research, I found the GT5600 to be my top choice and I have not been disappointed.Do to shipping restrictions, I paired it with a DIY projector screen from Carl’s Place. I must say that even with the cheapest foldable material, I am happy with the results. Once I return stateside I may upgrade to UST ALR material.I am projecting a 100″ diagonal screen with the back of the unit about 12″ away. The brightness of the display is enough to not be bothered even when the room lights are on.I specifically wanted a unit that can handle 60-240v without a step-up or step-down converter, and this was one of the few UST 1080P projectors (with < 0.3 ratio) on the market that stated it on the specifications.This unit has many helpful features that make screen setup a much easier process.I hook it up directly to a surround sound receiver through a single HDMI cable and allow my receiver to handle all my input needs.I now have over 120 hours of usage and have not encountered any issues with it nor have I experienced any type of buyer's remorse.

So far, each of them have an average of 2,500 bulb hours, for a combined total of over 27,000 bulb-hours. Not a single one of them has burnt out, and only one has dimmedslightly (Still not sure if that’s a projector issue or a bulb issue). We bought some extra bulbs with the intention of having to replace one every month or so, but it’s been almost 2 years now and the spare bulbs are collecting dust. Great projector, great color, great resolution, great network API control through ethernet.My only complaint is that I wish they were a bit brighter. But dimming the lights a bit hasn’t been too bad.

This projector is our new jam. It kills a 120 inch screen on the wall. Basically, it’s a movie theater in your home. Minus the smelly feet on the back of my chair. One ring to rule them all! We love the clarity of the movies. The color is great, the brightness is amazing. Don’t mess with the OLED and or LCD thing. Those TV’s screens break sooo easy. We had a big $$$ OLED screen, and it broke. The screens on these big TV’s are made of very fragile plastic, they are worthless. The TV screens break with kids, pets or whatever. Plus these big screen TV’s can kill children if they fall on them. Forget all of that TV screen thing, and join us in the dark side of the screen… POW 120 inches of pure MOVIE/TV!
