Review Date: September 26, 2005
Reviewer: M. Allen, Seattle, Wa United States
I recently decided to upgrade from my 42" inch HDTV Samsung to the Optoma Movie Time Projector, and I have to tell you I am a changed man. The clarity and size of the image is amazing, no distortion at all. The picture is as good if not better than my 42" incher. Unreal! After getting the projector I displayed the image on my wall since I hadn't received the screen, I put Siderman in the DVD player and even on the wall the picture was perfect. After getting the 9 or 10 foot wide screen the following day the picture was even better, I was amazed considering the screen is dark grey in color. I now have the best of both worlds, a projector that produces 9 foot wide movies in pure digitial, and a 42 incher in the corner of the same room. Picture in Picture the old way!
As to the rainbow affect that you hear of with DLP, well I haven't experienced it yet and neither have my friends that I invited over a couple of days later. We played XBOX, PS2 and watched movies for about 8 hours, crazy. My wife wasn't to happy about some 30 year old men jumping around like kids all day but even she was impressed with the crisp images produced. A definite buy for anyone looking to upgrade to an entertainment heaven, a movie theatre within your house.
Great Projector
 
Review Date: September 1, 2005
Reviewer: R. Eng, Centreville, VA
Regarding the previous negative review, I would be pissed too if the lamp blew that early on, but that can happen to any projector. Just like any electronics, there can always be a dud. I understand their frustration, but this is a 1st class projector.

The lamp life is actually 3000 hrs in economode, and the projector is extremely bright for watching DVDs in this mode even on a 110 inch screen. The lamp life is probably rated a little bit longer than the average projector.

A positive for indoor viewing, is this projector has a very short throw which is great for smaller rooms with big screens. A negative is it would be difficult to ceiling mount, so this is really just a coffee table or floor projector. But it's primary function is portability.

The portability and "Wow" factor for showing movies outdoors is great. Imagine your neighbors faces when you have a 7 ft wide movie on the side of your house. The built in speakers are suprisingly good for their size. This is a great projector for taking on a vacation where you have lots of downtime to catch up on movies.

Another major plus, is the built in DVD player allows for a digital to digital display of the video which would require an HDMI or DVI connection on an ordinary projector. So no need to spend $50-$100 on a cable.

Compared to many higher end business projectors, the contrast is quite good and brightness is great. For the money this projector is a bargain, especially if the DVD player holds up for a few years.

It even comes with a nice carrying case and decent remote.

First impression is 5 stars.

Review Date: November 28, 2005
Reviewer: Robert C. Graham, OGMORE BY SEA, VALE OF GLAMORGAN United Kingdom
Within 10 minutes of opening the box I had a 10 feet perfect image of `Shrek` projected.

This is a beautiful projector with fantastic image clarity and colour saturation. Movies were made for large screen presentation and films like Polar Express, Bridge on the River Kwai, Sound of Music, Great Excape, Titanic lose impact when shown on television.

The Movietime has a native format of 16:9 which is ideal for most movies and HDTV. Of course many films have different formats like 235:1, 240:1 and 255:1 (King and I) and the classics movies were mostly shot in almost square 4:3.

The DV10 handles them all fantastically. You can watch any format in 16:9 and it will scale the picture to fit. If you want to see the movie in its theatrical ratio you can switch it whilst in play in a second.

This is a very easy to use projector with a superb visible menu which takes only minutes to master.

The picture is superb out of the box and it does exactly what it claims to do.

Where can you see a large 35mm quality cinema like projection of films like Casablanca these days. At last the Marx Bros, Laurel and Hardy or Buster Keaton `come to life` again.

Wide screen epics like Ben Hur, Braveheart of Spartacus (I have a 65mm transfer which is no less than spectacular on this machine).

With ImageAI or Cinema Mode it seems to analyse the image as it plays to give the most fantastic picture. This projector really loves movies!

Using the DLP system (which tends to be the best for movies) the picture quality is astounding meaning that a 10` wide movie can be watched at a much closer range which really immerses the viewer. Obviously different machines, but DLP is the type of projector being installed in digital theatres now.

Even the two stereo speakers pack a good enough punch but for the true cinema sound experience hook it up to a surround sound system.

In order to produce such an image the lamp is hot and has a small odour as any projector would (even film)which personally, I did not notice. There is an O2 filter which deals with that and you will not even notice the cooling fan.

Overall I have nothing but praise for this machine. It is an excellent value, superb quality DVD projector - in fact so good it will soon pay for itself as I will hardly be visiting the local multiplex any more!

UPDATE 12/12/2005

Now a couple of weeks has passed and the projector has been in use everyday it has handled every kind of movie I have thrown at it magnificently.

Because the projector is matched to the onboard DVD player digitally each pixel is matched. Using best quality DVD transfers the quality appears equal to film and in some cases like Disney`s restored Snow White it is better. The colours explode off the screen.

Optoma recommends their Panoview Greywolf 92" diagonal screen which is an easily wall or ceiling mounted and gives an excellent picture.

For special screening I use a Harkness Hall (screen manufacturers since the advent of sound films) matt white which is around 136" diagonal and the picture quality/contrast and colours are literally stunning.

Watching Polar Express was almost like a roller coaster.

One final point about the lamp `smell`. This is as another reviewer stated because it is a new lamp. The odour (which is not poisenous) goes after a few hours use.

I have not listed any bad points as I have not found any.

FINAL UPDATE 20.12.2005
I can only comment that for those who have encountered any problems with this may have a bad unit. A good test has been `Steamboat Bill Jnr` with Buster Keaton using a good transfer to DVD of an almost 80 year old film.

The Image AI works wonders on these classic films compared to television. Whilst the transfer is excellent on TV it is enhanced on this machine. For instance in this film when Buster sends a telegram to his father stating he is visiting some fo the words are not visible on a tv set, however when projected in its theatrical 4:3 mode the whole telegram can be read. In other scenes more image is visible than on any TV.

I have projected a 64 square feet image of `It`s a wonderful life` which looks stunning.

I rest my case
IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

It is now February 5th 2007 and the projector still performs as new. I am still on the first lamp and it has never disappointed in any respect. It is so easy to use that we take it with us when we are staying away as even projected on a it wall gives a much more exciting and larger picture than even a plasma tv. Being a film fanatic and collector also of 16mm film prints I am very fussy about getting the best images on screen. Would I buy another Optoma model? Absolutely!

Review Date: February 3, 2006
Reviewer: E. S. Deweese, VA, USA
I purchased this unit to watch DVDs in the evening or night with the family and to escape paying $50 to the local theater to watch 20 minutes of previews and commercials.

1. Ease of Installation 5 / 5
Remove from box and set on coffee table. Plug into standard wall outlet and power on. Less than 5 minutes.

2. Ease of Use 5 / 5
Press Power button and OPEN button. Insert DVD and close DVD door. Manually focus lens. Lower lights. DONE!

3. Quality of Picture 5 / 5
As good as the theater, better than my neighbors 60" Sony. The unit is 9' away from the wall and throws up a 85" image - plenty large for us sitting 16' back. We are just using the wall and the image is great.

4. Quality of Sound TBD
Waiting for sub-woofer to arrive. The small built-in speakers sound great. My neighbors have 50", 60" and a screen with 5.1 sound systems that sound great. This unit only sounds good, but I don't find I pay that much attention to the sound once the picture starts. I have Polk Audio for my stereo to show I have apprectation for quality sound.

Quick Performance / Cost Ratio
60" Sony with great 5.1 speakers at $7,500 compared to 85" plus with good speakers at $1,300. I am more than pleased with the sound the DV-10 throws out. Plus no contractor to come in and run wires.

CONS:
I wish the remote were backlit. Now I have a reason to use my maglite.

NB: no noxious odors! Some slight initial odor the first few minutes, but no more than I have experienced with any other projector.
Excellent! (my external audio only set-up - onboard speakers muted!)
 
Review Date: May 1, 2007
Reviewer: ffass, Brooklyn, NY United States
This is a great projector. The quality of the image is stellar. The onboard speakers are small but adequate for most people, but you're really missing out on the full movie-going experience without surround sound! Many people realize that you cannot mute the onboard speakers while external speakers are connected to the DV10. This CAN be achieved if you use the optical audio out. So, if want to mute the onboard speakers to get external audio (from surround speakers or headphones) while muting the onboard speakers here's the set up I'm using to achieve that:

-Bought an inexpensive Sony receiver (model STR-DG510)
-Bought an inexpensive 6' optical cable
-Bought JBL Surround Cinema Speakers (SCS200.5)
-Connected the optical cable to one of the optical inputs on the receiver.
-Connected my speakers to the receiver according to directions.
-Set my receiver's input setting to "Video 2" (this will vary depending on your connection and receiver).
-Using the DV10's remote, I pressed "Setup", navigated to "Audio Setup", selected "SPDIF OUT", and set that to "RAW".

My DV10's onboard speakers went silent but I was now getting fantastic 5.1 Dolby Digital sound through my external speakers! Connecting my headphones to the receiver means late night movies without waking the neighbors :-)

    Product Description

    Amazon.com Product Description If you're in the market for a cost-effective digital projector that can shine during your workdays for presentations or classroom use and moonlight on weekends as part of your home theater experience, you'll want to take a close look at the InFocus X2 Multimedia DLP Projector. Featuring a 4:3 format DLP chip in 800 x 600 resolution, a four-segment, 2x speed color wheel, and a manual zoom and focus with a 1.2x magnification, this multipurpose projector can give you a bright, 100-inch diagonal 4:3 image in a range of about 12 to 15 feet.


    The Infocus X2 is perfect for the classroom or workplace, as well as any home theater. View larger.
    DLP Technology: Superb Imaging and Convenience
    The X2 relies on DLP, or digital imaging, technology from Texas Instruments. DLP is entirely digital, which means that you'll never experience image degradation or "yellowing"--better known as color decay--that other imaging technologies experience over time. Projectors based on DLP technology are fully compatible with digital signals--with no analog conversion necessary--making them compatible with everything from digital cameras to gaming consoles. The Digital Micromirror Device that forms the heart of DLP technology is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, giving DLP the advantage of being extremely portable for a wide range of uses.


    Features an intuitive keypad on the top of the project for easy navigation. View larger.

    Connection panel is located at the rear of the unit. A detailed rear view or view larger.
    The X2 provides a stunning 2000:1 contrast ration that offers superb imaging for home video or gaming. The projector's ANSI lumen output is rated at 1600 at full-power and 1100 in low-lamp--and, therefore, lower fan noise--mode. The projector's 200-watt lamp fills your screen brilliantly with 1700 lumens, and in low-power mode it will give you an amazing 3,000 hours of use. The X2 features a maximum projection of 32.3 feet, with at least five feet needed on the lower end. The projector's zoom lens means that images will fit the screen perfectly from wherever the projector is located.

    Unlike many other digital projectors that practically require a technical degree to operate them, the InFocus X2 is designed for easy connectivity and use. The connection panel is located conveniently at the rear of the unit. Inputs include one M1-DA port that takes computer RGB, DVI, and HDTV; one S-video port; and one composite video jack. In addition there is one set of stereo RCA audio inputs. The connections are color-coded, making a laptop, PDA, DVD, cable or satellite TV system, digital camera, or game console connection as easy as it gets, no matter where you are.

    Convenient, Easy-to-Use Features
    The InFocus interface features intuitive keypads, remote controls, and user-friendly menus that deliver one-touch operation. The projector is compatible with DVI, HDTV 1080i, 720p, 480p, and computer resolutions up to XGA (1024x768). With it, you can project NTSC, PAL, or SECAM standard videos from the rear or front. At just 9.8 by 12.9 by 4.2 inches (W by L by H) and 6.8 pounds, the X2 is portable enough to bring home from the office whenever you're ready to kick back to some brilliant video or exciting gaming. And with a built-in 2.5 watt speaker, you won't need to drag extra speakers with you for you presentations.

    In short, the InFocus X2 is a multipurpose workhorse that's designed to pull double duty, giving you low-cost, easy-to-use functionality at work, and brilliant imaging for your home theater and gaming needs.
