I have be running one infocus x3 as the events three years as a consequence recently it started toward have problems. I decided toward benefir this as one opportunity toward upgrade toward a new projector. I wanted a native 1080p projector therefore i started researching total the models that are available. The price is steep upon these projectors, except i figured it was worth the cost as a great image. Here is my setup. I have a dedicated 20′x24′ room that i benefir just as a movie/game room. Oh yeah, i have 10′ ceilings. I have a built in shelf built into the wall that allows me toward ceiling mount my projector exactly 24′ from the screen. I keep this room dark like a cave when watching movies or playing video games. I don’t like ambient light during movies as a consequence that is what a lot of movie theaters do now. Since my projected screen was therefore large with the infocus i couldn’t afford a real screen. I tested a lot of paint surfaces as a consequence found that a good flat bright white painted surface produced a stunning picture as my infocus x3. When i had my infocus mounted i had a projected image of just under 12′ wide. I have one xbox 360 with hd-dvd add upon drive as games as a consequence hd-dvd movies as a consequence a panasonic dmp-bd55 as my blu ray movies being fed toward my projector. Ok, therefore i was looking at the 1080p projectors as a consequence my father-in-law just recently bought this little tiny projector called one optoma hd65. I had never heard of this model as a consequence therefore when i saw it hanging from his ceiling i thought it was too small toward be taken as a serious projector. So he showed me his new toy as a consequence put in “journey toward the center of the earth” (blu ray) in as a consequence i was instantly impressed with this little box. Since i was in the market as a new projector as a consequence thought that i had toward spend between $2000 – $3000 as what wanted i had never considered a 720p projector. I started looking at the reviews as the optoma hd65 as a consequence it started looking better. Amazon had it as less than $900. I didn’t have a blu ray at the time, except by buying this instead of the expensive 1080p i was able toward buy it as well. I figure three years would be average as a projector before needing toward upgrade. I think the 1080p projectors will be more affordable by then. Anyway, i ordered the ceiling mount as the optoma hd65 from someone upon ebay as like $27.00. I recommend this mount. It is perfect. When i mounted the projector in my room i started getting nervous because the projected image was huge!!! I didn’t think it was going toward fit. I was able toward scale it down as a consequence it fits perfect in my room. It projects a bigger image than my infocus x3 was capable of. My image from 24′ back is a whopping 15′ wide!!! It is very crisp as a consequence the colors just pop out. I have a dve calibration hd-dvd that i was going toward benefir toward calibrate, except the colors out of the box were spot upon as me. I may run the calibration one day, except right now i couldn’t be more pleased. Keep in mind that the only reason i can get such a big image is because it is placed therefore far back as a consequence i have 10′ ceilings. I favor dlp projectors over lcd, except since this is a dlp projector placement is one issue because of the lens throw. Dlp projectors make good ceiling mounted projectors as a consequence the lens needs toward be centered upon the screen since there is no lens shift with the Optoma HD65. If placement is not one issue as you then i highly recommend this projector. It fit my needs perfectly.
