5.0 out of 5 stars so impressed some wee came out, 28 Aug 2008
By 
Mr. M. R. Downer (london, uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
easy controls. a remote which i haven't used yet. you turn it on pointing at the surface you wanna project on........ turn the zoom control turn the focus and you are away. i'm using it with hd laptop but with component and vga atatchments you can connect with most of your media. i paid more, but i ain't pissed off with that.colours are amazing not pixelated at all. the further away the bigger the picture i'm using it at about 150cm(60") from 3 metres away and the picture is crystal clear. might wanna get some thick curtains it doesn't like it too bright in the room. happy projecting. matt

5.0 out of 5 stars Optoma HD65 720p review, 26 Sep 2008
By Simon Marinof "Sim" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Optoma Home Theater Series HD65 - DLP Projector - 1600 ANSI lumens - 1280 x 720 - widescreen - High Definition 720p (Electronics)
I just bought this projector for watching movie and playing games.
I wanted a HD projector under 1000$

here's my review:

Pros:
-Colors are great and accurate. Skin tones looks natural.
-Contrast is very good.
-I'm seeing details in the dark areas.
-Almost silent projector. (fan is very quiet even in Bright mode).
-The image is really bright (1600 lumens)
-Image looks uniform (a bit of noise in the black levels but you can barely see it).
-All the inputs that you need (1 HDMI, 1 Component, 1VGA, 1Svideo, 1,Composite).



Cons:
-The back light in the remote control is way to bright. It burn my eyes every time I'm using it. (not really helpful when you are trying to adjust the colors and contrast.
-No saturation control when using HDMI input.
-Zoom is really small ( you really need to know exactly how far from the screen to put it because you don't have that much room).

Other thoughts:
I would recommend using a gray matte surface screen if you're watching movies. I'm currently having a gray matte screen (elite silver max 16:9). However if you want to play games get matte white surface screen, its brighter.

Also I heard some peoples complaining about rainbow effect, but I haven't seen any.

Conclusion: If you are looking for a good 720P projector for watching movie and playing games its definitely a good projector to consider. The picture is great.
For under 1000$ you can't really go wrong.

I'm giving 5 stars because it does what I wanted with a good quality.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unreliable, terrible repair, customer service, 22 Nov 2009
By S. Gelber - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Optoma Home Theater Series HD65 - DLP Projector - 1600 ANSI lumens - 1280 x 720 - widescreen - High Definition 720p (Electronics)
The picture is excellent... WHEN IT'S WORKING. I have had the projector for 2 months. It has be out of service for half that time. Customer service (which doesn't even give the option to talk to someone on a phone, everything is e-mail) ignores requests. Fair to say that the actual repair time was quicker than e-mail communication leading up to the repair.. They make you pay for shipping... which if you want to insure is costly. Repair worked for about 2 hours then the same error message "fan locked, shutting down" appeared again. I demanded they replace the projector and have heard nothing back as of yet.

I would've returned the product had it not barely exceeded the Amazon return period before breaking.

Project is unreliable and a total headache.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything I expected and so easy, 18 Jan 2008
By A. Sheppard - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Optoma Home Theater Series HD65 - DLP Projector - 1600 ANSI lumens - 1280 x 720 - widescreen - High Definition 720p (Electronics)
I am not an expert but I was set on buying the HD70 based on all the rave reviews and then read that Optoma had superseded it with the HD65 (1600 lumens) and the HD71 (2400 lumens) and the HD70 was nolonger in production. I went for the HD65 as I was after a great home theatre projector at an affordable price (and the HD71 wasn't as easily availble yet). I have not been disappointed and can't tell the difference with the high priced Sony and Infocus units I use for work. All the features of the HD70 (including the near silent fan) and almost twice the lumens for a couple of hundred bucks extra and the unit is surprisingly small and light. Setting it up was a doddle and soon realised that any image quality problems were associated with the DVD quality rather than the projector capabilty. With this neat unit I am now tempted to move to HDMI cabling (if I can find a half decent HDMI multizone DVD player) and a proper screen. Currently I run the video leads through the projector and the sound leads through my surround sound system. Getting the extra lumens helps for day use at kids parties, but the HD71 maybe even more worthwhile if you can afford it. Why wouldn't you get the latest model with the speed this technology sector is changing?
