This review is from: Optoma PRO160S 3D-Capable DLP Multimedia Projector, 3000 Lumens, 3000:1 Contrast Ratio (Office Product)

We do a lot of game nights at my house and movie nights by the pool. We had been using an old projector that only had a VGA connector and it was terrible for gaming, and ok for movies. We hooked this up tonight in a spare room and projected an 85-90 inch screen onto a white sheet and had 3 people playing Black Ops on PS3. It was a lot of fun and much better than sharing a 42 inch screen with 3 or 4 people. No lag, and screen looked great. My only complaint was that word and be a little blocky, but they are not hard to read at all. Overall it was a very good experience for gaming and will be nice for game nights. Projecting a Blu-ray (from the PS3) was great as well. Colors were crisp, and the image looked amazing. Even playing .AVI or other movie files looks good on it.
For the price of this it is a great projector and I bet it would look even better if we projected onto something other than a white sheet. It is not as good as a $2000 Optoma or other projector but it looks great and you can even watch a show on it with full lights on in the room.
It also has an audio out to hook up better speakers which make it nice. one problem I did run into was when running from audio out on projector to speakers it would crackle and buzz loudly during gaming but not on blu-rays or movie files. I am not sure what is causing this?
Don't hesitate if you need a cheap projector for gaming or movies, this works great.

I am a projector lover and I was recently looking to upgrade from my old HD projecter which only has 1600 lumens light on it, to something a little brighter and clearer. When I brought this Optoma pro 160s projector which has 3000 lumens and turned it on; I was was blown away with how bright the picture was. It made my other project look like smoke in the sky compared to a cloudless sky with the sun beaming down. The sound sucks so I advice everone who perchases a projector to purchase a HD surround sound system. It makes since if your watching HD, or 3D movies or even playing your game council on it.

I was looking for a good projector at a reasonable price that was simple to operate and easy to transport. The pictures are bright even when shown on a dark wall and there are enough options to fit most any circumstances. I use it with my iPad and it is perfect for my presentations.
