This is an exceptionally compact and well designed projector.
The menus are intuitive. The features are practical.
At 2500 lumens it is perfectly adequate for all but the brighest rooms.
Some projectors are difficult to figure out the keystone correction controls... this one is simple.
I think it's worth the $1,000 I spent on it.

I selected this model for its size and portability and wasn't disappointed in either. It also had good light output and excellent resoulution. On a recent business trip I used it for presentations up to six hours per day without a glitch.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't by this if you use it at altitude, August 29, 2008

This review is from: Optoma EP1691 WXGA DLP Multimedia Data Projector (Office Product)

We are located in Denver and purchased this product. It constantly shuts down with a temperature error. After sending it in for 6 weeks (Poor service is another issue) and having the mother board replaced, we are now told by Optoma support that it's an altitude issue and not even the "high altitude" mode will resolve it. They also tell us there is nothing they can do. I'd recommend steering clear of Optoma products.
