Very Good

When you buy a DLP projector, you definitely want reliability. Reasonable price has to match up with good performance and reliable service. The Optoma EP1690 manages to provide all of that, packed into a medium sized projector. The Optoma EP1690 comes in a silver case, and has buttons along the top of the case corresponding to the most important functions. This makes it easy to make quick changes and adjustments without using the remote. One of the most frustrating things about owning a projector is changing the lamp when it dies. Fortunately, the Optoma EP1690 has an excellent lamp life, meaning you won’t have to change it as often as you would with other projectors. The Optoma EP1690 also has a good brightness rating and throw distance, which will improve the performance of the device. Experts thought that the Optoma EP1690 performed well, especially in the different preset viewing modes. Consumers thought that the pictures were sharper than with competitor’s projectors. Get the Optoma EP1690 for your home theater needs because it performs so well in different home environments.

Price is very good considering wide range of resolution and video source support, contrast and brightness is just amazing. Great for presentation, movie, games. If 1500usd is within your budget, and big screen is what you want...look no further....
