Optoma HD141X 1080p 3D DLP Home Theater Projector Tested, Great Video and Audio



The Optoma HD141X is my first projector projector ever.

I am IT support for a business that sometimes requires projectors so i do have a bit more technical insight than some other folks. I'm also a home theater enthusiast, but by no means, an expert.

 Compared to most business projectors here are a few things that I noticed immediately.

 Size: It's quite small. Compared to the projectors I have at work, The HD141X is small and light.

 Design: I picked up the Glossy Black projector on sale. While i would have preferred a white one, it was also $100 more. Being the bargain hunter that I am, I couldn't justify spending an additional hundred dollars on color. Before I received the projector, I thought this was going to be a problem. My ceiling is white and i was afraid this would be a sore on my home's aesthetic. The size and design sure did prove me wrong. My wife was convinced she didn't want a black projector on the ceiling, but once it was installed, it actually looks nice.

 Performance: It's great. Any projector near this price point will not look as good as this one. It displays 1080p. One thing to look out for when purchasing a projector is a "support" and "display" resolution. A lot of projectors will support 1080p, but will not display 1080 ie they will scale the image. The HD141X is the best 1080p projector at it's price point.

 Now from the prospective of a professional projector, the brightness is less than stellar. Don't plan on using this in a bright room. In a dark room, however, the image is stunning. And the fan... It can really ramp up at times. It may even become distracting during quiet scenes. I usually listen with the volume high enough to drain out the noise.

 Despite the two critical items, i've decided to give this a 5 Star review for the price to performance. I am extremely pleased with my purchase and would recommend this to any of my friends and family. It's currently displaying at 120" from about 14' away.
