1. I bought this projector and scaler back in March 2007. I had it just over 3 months when it developed a problem. It was coming up with a lamp error although it was still putting out light. Even though Optoma originally told me that it was a lamp problem, it was not. I had to send it in to Malpitas, CA to have it fixed. I had to pay for shipping (because it was days older than it's poor 3 month full warranty) and insurance. I received it back and it worked but had a "fuzzy" inside now that created an abberation when projected. Through many air blowings I finally dislodged the "fuzzy".
   
   The picture quality is amazing and the scaler does a great job. The 2 separate components work well and minimize wires and cords. I am very happy with this product when it works.
   
   Although the projector had just been fixed in July 2007 and it is now February 2008 (as of this writing) I am having another problem. I have had a few that I have been able to remedy on my own. The picture sometimes will go black after changing a video source and I must re- punch the video source to get it back. However, the projector now turns on with everything working well. I see the Optoma logo then get the "processing" message and even see my DishNet main screen. Then the screen goes blank and the projector get a blinking red flashing error message which means a lamp failure. It can't be a lamp failure when it gets a picture, can it? It came up as a lamp failure in July when the problem happenned before and it wasn't a lamp problem then either.
   
   What is going on? Does Optoma only give a 3 month full warranty on this because it knows it is an inferior product in terms of reliability?
   
   I would hesitate to purchase this product. Maybe this is unfair, but I've had a Toshiba TV for 20 years without ANY incident and a Panasonic plasma for 3 years without incident. But this projector has already had 2 major incidents within a year. Yikes!



2. The image from this HD81 projector from a 1080p source is stunning and with so much details. The 720p/1080i images are likewise very detailed and incredible. The connectivity is just so flexible and convenient due to the outboard scaler unit. Speaking of scaler, it's a like a high end scaler capable of de-interlacing 480i materials flawlessly. Even my old laserdisc is looking good with this projector.
   
   There's some noise from the fan but it is not enough to be distracting.
   
   The only problem I had was after about 200 hours, I started to see two white pixels on my screen. Later I found out that this is the dreaded stuck pixel but known as a stuck mirror for DLP units. Fortunately, my unit is still on warranty and I just sent mine for repair to Optoma after obtaining an RMA.
   
   I would have given this product a five star if only there was no issue with the stuck dlp mirrors.

1. This is a great projector for a low price. The picture is clear and sharp and I use it for my living room television. I also used it at my wedding to put on a slide show using my computer. Everyone that comes to my house loves it. The picture is huge and it feels like being at the movies.

1. I recently purchased this projector for my room and it is AWESOME!
   I have lived with a 20" tv for a while with surround sound and I needed a bigger display for a cheap price. I was able to and 80" display in my room which is a HUGE change from my small TV.
   I can connect it to my computer, VCR, TV, Camera, Gaming system and more.
   
   The only things that are a minor inconvience are that if you are sitting next to it, you will fry. This thing exhausts so much heat and your room will be heated up in the summer if you don't have A/C or a fan.
   
   Images from a Computer tend to be pixelated. Other than this, this is a great projector.



2. AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME! I've had it for over 4 moths now, and I love it. I play video games on the big screen (over 90 inches) in my room, watch movies in the dark with friends, watch regular tv, use it with my computer to go online, write reports and just to see things from a new perspective. I Love it. I haven't had to buy a new bulb yet so i do not use it inscesently, but it does work for long periods with no problem. I have a baby blue colored room and I project directly to my wall, and the whites and WHITE and the blacks and BLACK. as it is, there's no need for me to spend $200+ on a screen. A+ product. any questions ask matttllz5772@aol. this product is hot. and ask about my products as well- books, to paintball markers, to games and systems. I would highly recomend this projector over the more expensive epson projectors. it does a great job with high quality. the only thing is that it does get hot and i would not like to sit next to it (thats why its on the wall ;-)



3. This is a great projector. I bought this projector on march of 2006 and it still works great. I don't own a screen, but the wall have worked great. Even if there is still light in the room the movie on the wall still looks good.
   I have used it to for powerpoint presentation, for movies using a dvd player or laptop and watching movies straight from the cable box.
   The wide and Tele features are great to ajust your picture.
   
   I love this projector.



4. I bought my projector almost two years ago and use it for DVDs, cable and to play my Wii. With a $1,000 budget, I bought the projector, a stereo surround system, a can of low gloss white paint and some black trim and built a home theater that will rival one that would cost 25-30K (if you bought a comparable-sized plasma TV). My projector is about 15 feet away from the wall and projects a 108 inch screen. I consider the quality to be about halfway between watching a movie in a theater and watching one on a plasma tv. I don't pretend the image is the same as a plasma, but the Epson's price is only a fraction of its clearer cousin.
   
   I'll add a positive note to Epson's customer service. I had a problem with my projector (while still under 2 year warranty), and after talking me through several unsuccessful troubleshooting efforts over the phone, they over-nighted me a brand new unit without hassle.



5. The Epson PowerLite S3 has served us well for several years. It's reliable, spending hours on with no problems. It's sturdy, standing up to car and air travel. And it's reliable - whether it was last used a week ago, or months ago, it just works when you turn it in. A good machine!
