Summary: Go with newer Technology!
Comment: 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!

Summary: Optoma HD70
Comment: 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.

Summary: Optoma HD70
Comment: 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.

Summary: HD Projection Image Is Superb - needs DCDi or similar for NTSC broadcast TV
Comment: I have had the Optoma HD70 mounted and in use for just over a week.
I upgraded from an X1 that I had for years. The Brightnes and Contrast levels on the HD70 are great. Much brighter and crisper than the Infocus X1. The High definition image is absolutely superb and is much better than the Infocus.
However:
As for standard definition TV and DVD I am disapointed. The Faroujada DCDi processor built in the X1 made the 480i media look fantastic. When viewing standard broadcast TV with the HD70,the dark scenes are blotchy and the bright scenes are washed out. I will need to upgrade my HT Audio/Video receiver to one with an upconverter and video processor. The Onkyo TX-SR705 shows goood promise
Onkyo TX-SR705 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver (Black) to get back to a good viewing experience when viewing Broadcast TV and DVDs.
I highly recommend the HD70 for viewing HD content including BluRay or HDDVD. If you are going to watch Broadcast Standard Definition TV or standard DVD get an additional unit with either a Faroudja DCDi or HQV Reon-VX video processing & Upconverter.

Summary: Awesome for the price
Comment: Bought the Optoma after considerable research and havent been dissapointed one little bit. The brightness is a little low but if you can control the light in your room, that is not a problem at all. Unit looks nice and the controls are easy to operate even without reading the manual which is basic at best. I have the image at 120' which is quite large and the image is very clear. For a 720p which is probably the cheapest in the market, you cant go wrong with the HD70. The differences in image quality with those far more expensive units is so subtle that most people will never know the difference. You can save 100's (probably even more) with this unit and still be happy with the quality. Unit comes with all cables except HDMI which is recommended for best image quality. It has an optical cable for sound but no digital coaxial so depending on your setup, you may have to buy a couple of cables (quite cheap if you buy online. The price difference at the big box stores is remarkable).
One thing to note: As with all DLP models, you have to be careful where you mount the projector. It has to be lower than the lowest point of your screen or higher that the highest (ceiling mount). To get the largest images, you have to move the projector to the back of the room (at least 14 feet, I think).

Editorial Reviews:
|
Transform any room in your home with an ultimate High Definition entertainment experience. Making the largest big screen TV's seem small with an image that can fill a wall the HD70 will immerse you in the action. Fantastic image quality provides life-size movie, sports or gaming characters that look so real you could touch them.
