Optoma MovieTime Home Theater DLP Projector With Built-In DVD Player
Amazing Value
I had been looking at DLP projectors for a while, but hesitated to make a purchase because of my unfamiliarity with the technology and the cost of higher end projectors ($5000+).  I decided to purchase the MovieTime because it allowed me to dip my toe in the projector pool at a very low price.  Shopping around I paid $865, and this included a free 92\\" screen (a $200 value).<br /><br />When the MovieTime arrived I simply set it on the floor, plugged it in, popped in a DVD, and had a 113\\" movie screen on my white wall.  The picture quality was far better than I imagined, especially considering the price.  The unit was quiet, and I didn't notice any burning plastic smell that other reviews have mentioned.  The speakers are small and certainly don't provide a rib-rattling theater-like experience, but they are much better than I anticipated, easily filling a 12' x 14' room.  MovieTime works best in a completely dark room, but the picture is acceptable on cloudy days as well.<br /><br />After a few weeks I am extremely satisfied with this purchase.  I am an old movie buff and it is a thrill to see these films on a large screen.  My only complaints about the system are the lack of a backlit remote (hard to operate in the dark), and a few occurences of the audio and video getting out of sync after pausing a DVD (this was corrected by stopping the DVD and restarting it).  Also, it would be nice if the product manual did a better job of explaining all of the various picture settings and options.<br /><br />Overall, the picture quality, portability, and relatively low price make this an amazing value.  Highly recommended.
