I'm a film producer with a 35mm/16mm screening room complete with soundproof booth and 10 foot wide glass beaded screen. I purchased this DLP as a suppliment to screening release prints on film. I was surprised how vibrant and sharp the image was from DVDs derived from a DVI cable which you'll have to purchase separately since one was not included in the box. I didn't have to make any adjustments in this format. In comparison, the image was fairly good from the S-Video cable (included in the box) but color, contrast and sharpness adjustments were necessary. Since I have all three formats now, I would say that the Optoma H27 generates a projected image that is not as good as a 35mm print but superior to a 16mm copy shown on the same size screen. The contrast and black level was excellent. The color saturation good enough to simulate a Technicolor print, especially on the DVD of "Around the World in 80 Days". I was able to fill 7 feet of my 10 foot screen before the screen door effect was noticeable so make sure your screen size isn't wider than that. I recommend this DLP for people who utilize it in a darkened screening room with the lights out. Also make sure your DVD player has the DVI cable & output and EZ view so you can select either 16:9
anamorphic enhanced playback or standard 3 x 4 image with black borders on the side for TV shows and pre-1953 movies. I would not recommend it for livingroom screenings with the lights on. |
