Optoma H31 Home Theater 480p DLP Video Projector
Fabulous Home Theater Projector
I bought this projector as the centerpiece of the home theater that I built in the basement of my house.  When the satellite installers came and we turned out the lights, their remarks ranged from a \\"Tell me that's not HD!\\" to a \\"Sir, I just want to shake your hand and congratulate you on having the nicest television in the state of Illinois.\\"  The key to the success with this projector is that it's in a dark area.  I installed some directional lighting with a dimmer to provide some light because when the overhead (omni-directional) lights were on, it did wash the image out somewhat substantially, although it was certainly still watchable.  This implies to me that this may not be the perfect solution in a room that has a fair amount of ambient light, but if you can put it in a dark area, you will not be dissatisfied by this projector.
