Optoma MovieTime Home Theater DLP Projector With Built-In DVD Player
3.5 stars - nice product but a little off
Overall I like it but not ecstatic and too pricey for the level of quality.  Some things should have been easily corrected with a decent focus group review.  Up and out of the box and watching a 6 ft wide movie on a bare wall within a couple of minutes - nice.  Good clear picture for that large size and the bare wall but not amazing picture if you are used to or expecting HDTV level pics. On a movie like StarWars I can make out the squares of the DLP like rectangular pixels at this large size.  Sound is ok but disappointing, even with a supplemental base speaker attached I had it almost near max and it is about as loud as medium volume from my tv...defintely meant to connect to sound system speakers but watchable without.  Housing and pieces feel and look a little flimsy and cheap like they will soon break - specifically the DVD door and legs but overall it feels like I could easily break it.  Thin plastic of almost an 80's era CD player aesthetic.  This cheap feel also extends to the carrying bag that came with it which is the quality of a typical free thin black nylon bag, not that I'll be carrying it around since it feels fragile.  The smell mentioned by others was light and to me was typical of new electronics, not as bad as others mentioned.  However, the large GreyWolf screen that came with it stank of cheap glue for a couple of days but that was remedied as I had to send it back because it was nonfunctional right out of the box and would not roll back up.  Overall I like it but it feels like an $800 level of satisfaction not $1300.  Get some speakers, but picture is good enough that you may not need a screen.
