Personal Experience
Beware. Unfortunately, any good experiences with this projector have been wiped out by its failure after just a couple hundred hours of use. I wish I had known when I bought it that so many other Optoma HD72 buyers had experienced the same frustrating product failure, one that is obviously due to a manufacturing flaw.
 
Problems
This infamous Optoma HD72 product failure is one of the worst kinds -- it tricks you into believing the lamp is the problem, so you can end up replacing the lamp several times before you realize it is not the lamp at fault. Optoma is no help at all -- they won't even admit the manufacturing flaw exists, and their response to customer inquiries is a joke (unanswered emails and phone calls are the rule, not the exception). See the "HD72 Screen Goes Black" thread on Projector Central to hear directly from the many Optoma HD72 users hit by this problem.
