| Personal Experience |
| Bought this and the 4805 and did a side by side comparison using both svga and component video. I liked them both but the Optoma has the ability to play in native 4x3 which is a huge difference in image size when watching 4x3 material. It seemed to me that the the optoma has less SD effect at any distance. I was veiwing a 96" wide image at 17ft away and was very impressed with the color and blacks of both units. The 4805 had slightly better dark details but the optoma has more vivid colors. I did not calibrate either unit and only played with the brightness, contrast and gamma to try and match the two images to each other, meaning that both units could be improved beyond the quality i was seeing. I chose the optoma due to the vivid colors and less sd at my viewing distance, and $380 dollars less price. My only drawback is that i already built the 50"x96" screen which is now too small since I get a beautiful 72"x96" image with the h30 when using native 4x3 material. |
