Optoma HD70 [Posted on 2008-04-14]
I bought this for a home theater that will be in my basement. This is my first personal projector purchase although I've used them at work. So far the basement is not completed but I have been testing and evaluating this projector in my familyroom. I chose this projector because of other reviews that I've read from novice to professional evaluations. It appears to be everything that others have said in their reviews. Pros: Great image and easy to figure out how to setup and use. Cons: No audio, flimsy lens cap that won't stay on. I don't have a screen yet and am using a blank white wall which still seems to perform well. Can't wait to see it on a grey screen. I am please with this projector and would recommend it.

This is an excellent entry level projector that I got last summer (2007). The colors are very natural right out of the box and you won't regret buying this. Not much difference for the size of the screen I have (91 inches) between this and a 1080P projector.
A sure shot recommendation. A no brainer as some would call it. Optoma had a free screen with this projector that made this very sweet.
Go with newer Technology! [Posted on 2008-04-27]
I am the lead installer for a company that installs RealHomeTheaters, so hopefully my experience can be of some help.
This projector has been on the market since 2006. There is newer better technology out there at better prices. Shop around. Consider the Mitsubishi HC1500 or the Panasonic PT-AX200 and be sure to read my reviews on them too.
Hope this helps get your RealHomeTheaters off the ground!
Great for Xbox 360 [Posted on 2008-05-21]
I bought this projector in January '08 with the express purpose of playing Xbox 360 on it, and I must say, when the conditions are right, this projector really delivers. With the help of my aunt, uncle, and fiancée, I built a home-made 83" screen (the biggest size possible for my apartment), which works pretty well.
The native resolution of the Optoma HD70 is 1280x720, which is the resolution that the majority of 360 games are best played at--in other words, this unit is a perfect match for the 360.
The biggest downside of this or any other home theater projector is that they function best in darkness--with my current apartment, there is about 32 square feet of window in the wall to the left of my screen, so I have to confine myself to playing 360 until after the sun sets. :) Never fear, though--I plan to black out the windows for the upcoming summer gaming season!
My older brother and I, now that we're both adults, have sort of a home theater contest going. During his most recent visit, he said to me, "Dang, man! You've won--for now!" I highly recommend this product.
Great picture quality and value for money [Posted on 2008-05-30]
Amazing quality - vivid colur and sharp pictures; multiple display modes to connect to 4:3 & 16:9 sources. Truely high definition (720P) for everyday viewing - a well engineered product. Sleek looking and esay to set up as a ceiling projector. All in all a great value if I am to get the rebate (still waiting).
If you are getting this, I will recommend a upconverting DVD player (about [...]) and a componenet or HDMI cable to take advantage of HD quality viewing.
