Optoma MovieTime Home Theater DLP Projector With Built-In DVD Player
Amazing
I was skeptical at first, reading all of these positive Amazon reviews, but then I went ahead and bought one.  I was not let down.<br /><br />First off, everything is relative.  And everything positive about the Optoma DV10 is relative to its very low price.  There are certainly more expensive machines with better resolution and/or higher lumens.  And you can certainly get high resolution and brightness and no interference from ambient light with a conventional plasma or LCD flat-screen.  But at this price, you really can't go wrong.<br /><br />Within fifteen minutes of opening the box, you can throw a six foot or wider movie on your wall.  It will take you more time to set up the screen than to set up the Optoma DV10.  The controls on the remote are a bit tricky, but you get used to it.  The image is bright and clear.  The sound is mediocre, but what do you expect in such a small machine?  If you truly are interested in big-screen movie-watching, you've already got auxiliary speakers in mind.<br /><br />It is truly a sit-back, cinematic experience.  Within the context of what we like to do--watch wide-screen DVD movies at night--this is perfect for us.  But if your aim is to watch Regis with sun streaming through the windows, this may not be for you.  Even if what you really want is that 60 inch-plus plasma, this product is a perfect stop-gap for the next several years until prices come down to reasonable levels.
