Optoma TH1060P, HD (1080p), 4500 ANSI Lumens, High-Definition Projector

I have extensive experience with both projectors and video production, so here's the straight scoop. This is a great tool for some things. If you need to project a clean bright image with good color balance in a room with some ambient light, there may currently not be a better projector for the money. It has sizzling brightness and a razor sharp picture, even on large screens. The blacks look deep and rich as long as there's a bright image next to them. Sporting events such as night baseball games look amazing. In darker scenes, shadow detail and blacks get murky as is to be expected with the stated contrast ratio. For this reason, it has limited use as a home theater projector. The high lumen output rocks and I would kill to have a home theater rig that puts out this much light and also has good blacks, but unfortunately this one can't do both. The fan is pretty noisy at the bright lamp setting, but reasonable (around 29db) with the standard setting which is still very bright. It has limited adjustments for color, and you can't really get a convincing color temp above 6500 or so. If you like to watch everything with a blue bias this may not work for you. I bought mine to do video presentations in small to medium size halls, it's great for that purpose.

Relativly new to the projector world. I have an InFocus X1 (OLD) for the kids to play their Wii on. In a dark room, it works fine. I wanted a BRIGHT HD projector to use during the football season. Primary use is in our den with alot of ambient light. No problem for the Optoma. I realize that there are alot of experts who review high dollar home theatre projectors, but I need LUMENS for my high ambient light situation. I compared the few reviews I could find on HD projectors with over 4000 lumen and under a budget of $1500. I am projecting onto a budget 135" diag screen with a throw distance of 18 feet. It works well with all of the recessed lights in our den on, even better when they are dimmed. Light from the next room is not a problem. I know that their are probably better "home theatre" projectors out there, but for the budget and high ambient light situation, this one has proved very worthy in my real world use. ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!!!!!!!

I like this projector, it delivers in every way.

the high definition of 1080p is awesome and the wattage power is not affected by a bright room.

the only draw back for this devise is the keystoning only applies to the vertical mode and not the horizontal requiring the projector to be centered on your screen. Once that was understood the rest of setup was easy.

Still have only about 5 hours of use on this but I am blown away with the brightness and image quality of this projector. We are using it in a covered backyard patio area gets pretty dark at night but it is NOT a true light controlled environment as there are some lights from sources we can't fully control. Using a 100" diagonal Draper Luma Screen with Contrast Gray colored screen in there.

We also got a giant 120" portable Camp Chef portable outdoor movie theater screen for use around my sister-in-law's large backyard and pool area which overlooks a small lake. Last night (July 3) even some of the neighbors across the lake (over 200' away) were coming out to their backyards as we watched Independence Day in HD back there.

I have a 61" Samsung LED DLP TV in my main living room and the Optoma BLOWS AWAY it and anything I've ever seen before in any home environment. I thought this would look good, but I've been stunned at just how awesome the image quality is using either of the above screens. A big factor for me was the 4500 Lumens output and this thing is really bright. It is quite watchable as it gets dusk before full dark and once dark it rivals a movie theater to my and my families' and friend's laypersons eyes.

It has plenty of inputs and is compatible with basically all formats including 24P, but is not a 3D projector. I don't really care for the 3D stuff.

It does have 1/8" audio out jack as well. We can connect out back using a 35' HDMI cable using the audio out jack can output the audio (albeit only in stereo) to a good computer speaker setup (Logitech Z680) with a subwoofer which results in quick to set up for decent sound if one is not using this with a dedicated HT receiver and speaker system. The internal 3W speaker is not at all suitable for watching a movie, maybe OK for a small room business presentation though.

This thing does everything Optoma HD20 or Optoma HD23 (both marketed as "Home Theater" can do, but with a significantly brighter screen (albeit at a higher price). Neither of the other two Optoma's have the audio out jack so with those your audio options require a more expensive solution.

We are really looking forward to the summer Olympics and football this fall, and will likely use this every so often at tailgates.

When/if my Samsung 61" DLP dies, this will be its replacement inside the house. Would definitely buy this again.
