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.

It's currently only $599 with free shipping, Click Here to see more...

Installation is about as simple as it gets.

Unbox the projector and its container box of cables, instructions and 3D glasses.

Plug the projector in, and then plug in whatever your media source will be.

Turn it on, hit the right button on the remote and its on.

The projector is BRIGHT. Like, movie theater bright and the image is as sharp as anything I think I've ever seen on a television set.

The science of projectors has come a long way.

I actually think I prefer this image over my 60" LG mounted in my bedroom. I have a tv show that's gorgeous, with amazing photography (Skins Fire) and it has never looked better than it does on my wall.

I plugged in an Xbox 360 and there was no delay, nothing but really lovely projection. All the details of Halo popped out at me and it felt like I was playing a game in the movies.

I did not get to test the 3d capability (I don't have access to any 3d media at present) but at the brightness level offered, I have no question that it will be very good.

Usually, 3d content looks dull. If anything I may have to tamp down the image brightness. Its really bright.

When I tested the unit, it was night, and there is not a lot of light coming into the basement from windows even at midday but the projector is bright enough that I think it would serve its images fine even in a very well lit room.

The blacks are deep (I cannot tell if they are perfect, they're perfect enough for me!)

The sound: The unit has its own speakers. Usually, when it comes to a projector, the speakers are add-ons because the manufacturer assumes you will hook up some kind of alternate sound system. I may still do that, but there is no hurry.

The sound coming from the unit is luxurious, lovely and can be turned up to nearly painful levels.

My only complaint: the projector size is large.

You will need a significant footprint to contain it...even if its on the ceiling. But the reality is that I believe this is a significant workhorse, not a toy meant to be toted from meeting to meeting.

Its meant for movies and television, games and televised concerts. Its meant to be the defining center of a living room where a family will gather round to enjoy....whatever. And this projector delivers.

Optoma HD141X Full 3D 1080p 3000 Lumen DLP Home Theater Projector Review

Optoma HD141X Full 3D 1080p 3000 Lumen DLP Home Theater Projector with MHL Enabled HDMI Port

The Optoma HD 141X 3000 Lumen Projector is a new release from Optoma, and the #1 New Release in Video Projectors. With full HD 1080p resolution, it is perfect for watching movies, HDTV, Sports and for gaming on.

2 HDMI ports so you can connect it to all your HD Digital hardware. 3000 Lumens makes it one of the brightest in its class.

As you can see in the above picture, Optoma has done away with the standard rca ports and other ports rarely used and opted for 2 HDMI inputs instead, thus keeping costs lower.

The Optoma HD141X Projector also has a built-in 10 watt audio system which sounds real good for a basic built-in.

BenQ W1080ST 1080p 3D Short Throw DLP Home Theater Projector Review

A review of the BenQ W1080ST 1080p 3D Short Throw DLP Home Theater Projector , White

BenQ W1080ST 1080p 3D Short Throw DLP Home Theater Projector (White)

Set up: Very easy (took maybe 10min, most was moving calbe wires and stuff). Anyone semi familar with an HD TV should have no problems navigating the menu on the Benq. Changing the colors, brightness and contrast will seem familar. Setting the lamp to the power setting is too easy (econo is still bright enough to use for everything). Setting the zoom and adjusting the focus is easy and fun to play around with. As with most other reviews I would highly recommend an additional sound system of some type.

Picture Quality: The TV I replaced was a 46inch Samsung. I can honestly say this has a better picture. It is bright, crisp and clear. If you have some form of Comcast (Xfinity) most show are displayed in 720p. That is no fault of the benq but the original broadcast signal. Still looks really good. Any 3d movie rental on comcast is displayed in 1080i. That looks very close to movie theater 3D. Bluray and Bluray 3D display at 1080p. When I saw the picture for the first time in 1080p 3d, I laughed in hysteria because I could not believe my eyes! It was amazing! The nice thing about the benq is that every time you either change a channel or switch inputs, on the top left of the display it show the input source and image (720p, 1080i or 1080p). That is how I discovered Comcast was broadcasting in 720p and quick call in confrimed this. However you watch or whatever you watch the picture is going to be bright. Adjust the colors alittle and you have a great looking movie theater in your house.

This is the back of the BenQ 1080st

The Benq 1080st projector itself:

Very good quality. The unit feels very well built. It looks nice and sleek. The fan noise to me is almost non-existant. It not nearly as loud as an Xbox 360. It does have a fan to keep everything cool and I would say it is not even as loud as a computer. Really it is a non issue. All the correct inputs are there. I even had a conversation with my friend on how the Benq must have been made so there would be no issues. The people at Benq must really looked at every customer complaint before making the 1080st. It is very impressive.

3D quality: Very good. At first in to be very honest I was not too impressed. Then I adjusted the brightness down and contrast up, changed the gamma level and adjusted the CMYK color levels up by 12 on each.....my jaw dropped (changing these setting is very easy to do). It has good depth and is very clear. I bought the rechargable 3D glasses and would highly recommend them. The screen does have a red hue when your glasses are not on and 3D is playing, agian a non-issue. It is simply amazing lifting the glasses up on your face and then putting them back down and seeing how the 3D works. Regular boradcast 3D in 720p is not bad at all and if you do plan on gettig a 3D bluray play you will be amazed. No reason to ever to the movies again. I found myself constantly talking through the movie on how great it looked and how it doesnt seem fair to have this in my house. Overall this is worth every penny. Every single person that has been lucky enough (lol) to see this in my house thinks I spent at least 5k on this projector. Thats what you get from Benq: big picture small price. I have read hundreds of reviews before my purchase of the 1080st. All I have to say is read this review and then buy it. You will be very happy you did. Enjoy!!

The Best 3D 1080p DLP Projectors 2014

3D Projectors are a fantastic way to get the best out of your blue ray 3D player. With the addition of some 3D glasses you will be experiencing 3D comparable to or better than at the movies. These projectors can be used with or without a screen (though a good screen will help a bit). They can also be used for 3D gaming experiences unlike no other. So with that said lets get on to the best 3D DLP projectors of 2014, all available on amazon.com as of this writing.

We start off at number 5.

#5 - Optoma EH500 1080p 4700 Lumen Full 3D DLP Network Projector with HDMI

The Optoma EH500 projector is fully 3d compatible, though you will need a special RF 3d emitter and special glasses of course. The picture is very bright and suitable for locations where you will be using it in daylight. In the dark it is even more amazing with its 4700 lumens. It also has network capabilities and is a good choice for edge blending with multiple units with near perfect color matching. It is designed to be mounted on the ceiling upside down so you will need an extra bracket to hook it up. But all in all this is a great unit.

#4 - Vivitek D966HD-WT D966HD 4500 lumen 1080p Full HD 3D DLP Projector

The Vivitek D966HD Projector is by far the brightest in its class at 4500 lumens. It can be used in broad daylight and still look good. It is a full 1080p 3D DLP projector. It has a built in speaker and many input options including 3d sync, rj45 and RS232. The lamp life is rated at 4000 hours which is the equivalent of 167 days of continuous movie watching 24hrs a day. That about 3 years of movie watching 3 hrs a day average. This is a bit more expensive than the others but is a good choice if using it in a bright area.

#3 - BenQ SH915 1080p 4000 Lumens Full HD 3D Ready Projector with HDMI Projector

What would a projector review be without including a BenQ Projector. The BenQ SH915 is a fully 3D ready projector producing 4000 lumens. For watching movies during the day this projector is ideal. Just add a 3D blue ray player and some 3d glasses and you'll be experiencing 3D like you've never seen before. It also has a 1.5x zoom feature to throw your movies even farther if need be. It also has Lan control for the more experienced folks to control more than 1 projector, and smarteco technology to save up to 70% power consumption. So all in all this gives the best quality even under the brightest lighting conditions. Maybe a bit too bright if you're going to be using it in a dark home theater, but it can be adjusted.

#2 - ViewSonic PJD7820HD Full HD 1080p 3D-Ready Projector with HDMI, Dual VGA, Composite and S-video

My good friend has this ViewSonic PJD7820HD Full HD projector, so on a recent visit to his house I checked it out. We mainly used this for 3D gaming at his house, though we did watch a 3D movie too. The 3d on this projector was amazing even though we were watching it on a wall that was painted white (he had no screen to use). The colors and picture stood up to even the best plasma tvs I have seen. Sometimes it was louder than I am used to but that was only during quiet parts in the movie. During games it didn't matter at all. He also said he's had this for about 6 months and no problems and probably wouldn't go back to a regular tv.

#1 - Optoma HD25-LV 1080p 3200 Lumen Full 3D DLP Home Theater Projector with HDMI

This is my choice for the best 3d projector of 2014.

I got the Optoma HD25-LV 1080p projector to watch 3D movies. After doing my research I tried this one because of the extra lumens which makes for a much brighter picture in lighted areas and not too bright when its used in a dimly lit area like my theater. The quality of the 3D is superior. I will also say that the 3D experience with this projector exceeds that of the movie theater. I love 3D movies and with this projector I want to watch them over again. With the Optoma HD25, my screen can be as large as 25ft which is much more than I need in my home theater. This is what I think makes it much better on a 10 or 12ft screen.

So there you have it, my top 3d projector picks for 2014. Stay tuned for my next post where I will review the top PICO projectors of 2014.
