Here is the secret . . .Buy a DVI400 Monster cable (cost around $80) and connect to your cable box (or any of your device) and project at the plain wall at night time (complete dark) . . . If it is High Definiion, I can say you get 100% (not even 99%, it...

This is a terrific projector, especially for HD content. It is better at night of course, but I can watch it in the daytime with my blinds closed. I have it for three years and way past the recommended lamp life (2000 hours) and it still works great. I...

I bought this projector about a year ago (I am also using it with my PC now as I write this) and it has not let me down once. Regular (non-HD) programming is marginal at best but that is a problem with almost any projector or plasma TV for that matter....

Okay, a few guidelines here. You will not get your best picture with a regular yellow RCA cable. You won't even get it with S-Video or component video. To really make this baby shine like it can, you need to get a DVI-to-HDMI adaptor and an HDMI cable to...

Just got this unit had been using an infocus X1 followed that up with a X2 but still missing the clarity and color I wanted in satellite tv viewing as well as DVD and VCR viewing. The Optoma 719 upgraded my X2 from 800 x 600 up to an eye popping...

I bought this strictly for PowerPoint presentations. But to show it off to my wife, I connected it to our DVD player. My Lord! The image is flawless. You can get totally lost in the detail of a movie in an only partially dimmed room (Venetian blinds,...

I found this projector to be the Best Bang for the Buck after comparison shopping with all the different brands available. Comparing 2500:1 contrast ratio, 2000 ANSI lumens, 16x9 aspect ratio, up to 300 inches screen size projection (huge), 720p or 1080i...

I purchased this projector over a year ago for business. It has traveled all over the U.S. with me for the past year, being used 2 or 3 times per week for an average of 5-6 hours at a time. I have not had any problems, and I have even started using it...

This is a great little box. The economy mode feature is nice, as is the picture mute. I would have liked to see composite inputs on the back, but I got an HDMI to DVI-D cable off of eBay for $12 (including shipping), so no harm no foul there. It is SUPER...

I have had this projector for 2 years now. I was using the s-video input (with a 25 foot Acoustic Research cable) for DVDs, playstation 2, and digital cable television. I was always happy with the picture but whites were always fuzzy - you could see...

I have had an Optoma 719 for about five months. Picture quality was good. It is easy to use. I haven't hauled it around enough to know how sturdy it is.My only gripe is that the documentation is poor. This device comes with a USB port on the back. It...

If you're anxious to get started on a home theater and looking for a reasonably priced projector that delivers, look no further. This is my first projector, and I can't tell you how happy I am I went with this versus a $1500+ HDTV. Only two minuses keep...

I've been running my EP719 as a third monitor and/or TV for nearing 2 months now and am quite pleased with its performance to date. It doesn't balk at extended gaming sessions or movie marathons, and the resolution is high enough to still see details. It...

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...

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...
