The 3D effect is generated by splitting the 120Hz signal into two standard video streams, one for each eye. Using DLP® Link™ technology, the 3D active shutter glasses synchronize with the on-screen image to filter each stream to the left and right eye. Your brain then combines the two streams to provide a three dimensional image. Optoma 3D enabled projectors can be used with compatible 3D PC based content. Examples of 3D content includes educational software, video games and design/modeling programs. Optoma projectors cannot be used to display 3D TV broadcasts or 3D Blu-ray discs. Optoma projectors may support these applications in the future but will require additional hardware at extra cost. *3D source, 3D content and active LCD shutter glasses are required

1.0 out of 5 stars Would be an awesome product if it had good support, March 26, 2010

This review is from: Optoma PRO350W, 2800 lumen, XGA, DLP Multimedia Projector (Office Product)

long story short, I had it for a month and it broke. By itself I wouldn't consider that an issue - products are sometimes faulty. It happens. But over a week after receiving the RMA'd projector, Optoma now tells me it will be another 3 weeks (they "hope") before they can get the parts to fix it.
It's unfortunate, especially considering that this projector really is awesome - I loved it while I had it. And as I said, I don't consider it a fatal flaw that it broke; that's why we have warranties. But if the company is going to spend a month repairing a nearly brand new projector rather than just replacing it, that's what I consider terrible support.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice bright projector and awesome 3D!, October 18, 2011

This review is from: Optoma PRO350W, 2800 lumen, XGA, DLP Multimedia Projector (Office Product)

I have this projector in a bright living room adjacent to our sunroom which lets in tons of sunlight. I can still run this projector and get a very nice picture in the middle of the day. It has the expected DLP "pop" to it and is surprisingly sharp for a 720p model. I actually have a newer 1080p LCD projector that cost twice as much and I still go back and forth trying to decide which one I like best. I am running this projector on a grey 106" screen from about 12 feet back. I did have to put some work in trying to get the picture to fit the screen correctly as there is no offset (as with all but the most expensive DLP units). I've got a HTPC hooked up to watch 3D blu-ray and I can tell you if you like 3D in the theater you will LOVE it on this projector! The only star I can take off is for the price. You can actually get a newer model Optoma for less. However, if you can find one of these (possibly refurbished) at a deep discount don't hesitate to pick one up!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome first time projector., July 21, 2010

This review is from: Optoma PRO350W, 2800 lumen, XGA, DLP Multimedia Projector (Office Product)

Ive had this Projector since March this year, and I have been loving it ever since, It has superb picture/color quality, and where I have it positioned I have a ~100" screen. The great thing about this projector is that it is "future proof", meaning it wont become obsolete in 2 months, it comes with a built in HDMI port, and it supports full 1080p. Also for computers that are connected to it, it supports all resolutions up to 1920x1080. It has 2 audio ports, one in, the other out, I have my cable reciever plugged into the HDMI port, and because HDMI also has the audio channel, I connected a 3.5mm jack cable from the projector to a 5.1 home theatre system, and the audio quality is superb, no static or interference. It comes with a standard AV video output for all devices/consoles ect. without an HDMI or VGA connection. It doesnt, however, have the composite input(red blue green video, white and red audio). I also have my computer connected via VGA cable, and the picture again is awesome, where I am sitting(about 10-11 feet from the screen)I cannot see the individual pixels on the wall, the lamp lasts about 4000 hours, if set on standard brightness mode, or 3000 on bright mode. I set it on standard and the picture is still superb. It comes with a sleep timer built in, also a security passcode feature, letting you set a 4 digit code that you have to input when you turn the unit on. As far as sound goes, I sit right below the unit(I have it mounted on the wall with a universal mount) and I don't hear a thing. The only problem that I have is that since the unit is not being manufactured anymore, I had to contact Optoma directly because all of the "authorized dealers" did not carry a replacement lamp, after 4 months of using it almost every day, I am up to 965 hours, so about 1000 hours, every 4 months, the lamp should last about a year. I was able to find a replacement lamp directly from Optoma for about $180, not to bad considering how good the projector is and how long the lamp lasts. Overall this projector is very good quality, I havent had anything break or had to have it repaired. I would definitely recommend this projector to anyone who is a first timer like I am but perhaps also for people who have had other projectors as well. The price for this, $700, is by-far the best price I have seen for this, when I purchased it from Best Buy back in march it was going for $999. $700 for a projector this good is the best its going to get, so I definitely recommend you by this if you are considering it.
