Optoma HD230X Full HD 1080p Home Cinema Projector
I have just upgraded from a Sanyo Z5 (720p) LCD projector to this Optoma HD230x (Full HD 1080p) DLP version. The picture quality, brightness and colour that this projector offers for the price tag is an absolute steal. I was a little concerned that the 2300 lumens would be too bright compared to the Z5, which is 1100 lumens, but it adds to a far greater viewing experience. You can watch movies with a couple of sidelights on, or in complete darkness. I did not find the brightness to be an issue, nor the rainbow effect.
I am quite surprised at the difference in image quality between 720p and 1080p. I did not think the full HD would be much of an improvement, but it makes quite a difference when you play a 1080p Blu-ray disc. The HD230x has two hdmi v1.3 (Deep Colour) inputs, and again, I have noticed quite a difference. The colour is rich and vibrant with no colour bleed what so ever.
I am having trouble finding issues with the performance of this projector. The fan noise is also very quite in ecco mode. It is truly amazing value for money. I'm sure you could spend four, or even six times as much on a higher spec machine, but I cannot believe that the picture would be four to six times better.
The only criticisms I have is that it only comes with a one-year warranty, (the Z5 came with a three year), and every time you zoom the image you have to re-focus. It does not hold the focus like on the Z5. Other than these two points, I am very happy.
