We've just had the projector for a week, but are extremely happy with the picture! It's also very quiet, and easy to operate. For the time being we are projecting the picture on a painted wall and the picure is good enough that we're wondering if we need a screen. (we will get a screen however)For the money I think it's a great deal. I've bought enough from Tiger Direct that I know I can depend on their shipping and product availability.

I purchased this unit about 6 months ago and have been using it in the basement for a home theatre primarily and for the kids' video games secondarily. Once I ran all the cabling (you really owe it to yourself to use HDMI to DVI connection [25 foot cable for $55 including shipping from cablewholesale.com]...simply awe inspiring) and found an inexpensive mount for the ceiling (universal flush mount from Mountdirect.com...$44.00 on ebay including shipping) and painted a large white rectangle on a flat black painted wall (Kilz flat white, generic Benjamin Moore black)...the result was extraordinary. My sound setup is a 5.1 Yamaha receiver with a mix of ESM and Polk Audio speakers...nothing all that fancy...but the result is a true theatre-like experience. The friends and neighbors who have watched movies in our basement comment that it is wonderful. With a trip the the local multiplex costing a family of 4 somewhere in the vicinity of $70...the home theatre pays for itself quickly.

Great Projector. It's clear, bright, and very reasonably priced. The lamp life has also been quite excellent as we've had ours for appox 1 year.

This is our first projector and we could not be more pleased. We travel throughout the state and use the projector with our powerpoint presentations. Set up is quick and easy; less than 5 minutes. I have also had the opportunity to use it at home for movies and I am very happy with the picture quality. We have been talking for a while now about getting another one but still have not been able to justify the need.

Quite a versatile unit from Optoma; I get a lot of projector “bang” for the $, even if it’s more than most XGA units here. Why? Lamps are cheaper than some projectors that initially cost less; second, it’s very bright (though if you’re one who watches movies, consider a unit that uses something like 3LCD instead for more contrast), and eco-mode only results in a small contrast/intensity drop. Lastly, connections are great, from DVI (HDCP) to composite. However, there are some improvements needed: I’ve had to RMA this unit once because the lens tube slowly loosened to the point where every time I focus the unit, the image would shift nearly a foot sideways at 10’ distance. Second, S-video and composite are so-so; the converters are inefficient (motion blurring during a LAN party with an Xbox and DVD player). Last, the component input needs a D-Sub to 3x RCA “breakout cable.” Overall, I recommend the EP745; just be gentle with the focus ring, and try to use only the DVI and D-Sub inputs.

What Is DLP?

  • DLP Digital Lighting Processing
    DLP™ technology is a revolutionary display solution that uses an optical semiconductor to manipulate light digitally. It's also a proven and dependable technology preferred by leading electronics companies worldwide, with more than 2 million systems shipped to more than 50 manufacturers since 1996. DLP™ technology is in use wherever visual excellence is in demand. In fact, it's the only display solution that enables movie projectors, televisions, home theater systems and business projectors to create an entirely digital connection between a graphic or video source and the screen in front of you. The result is maximum fidelity: a picture whose clarity, brilliance and color must be seen to be believed.
  • DLP Digital Lighting Processing
    Digital Light Processing™ is the world's only all-digital display solution and a key ingredient in the best digital projectors available today. DLP™ technology uses an optical semiconductor to recreate source material with a fidelity analog systems cannot match.
  • The Semiconductor That Changes
    At the heart of every DLP™ projection system is an optical semiconductor known as the Digital Micromirror Device, or DMD chip, was invented by Dr. Larry Hornbeck of Texas Instruments in 1987. The DMD chip is probably the world's most sophisticated light switch. It contains a rectangular array of up to 1.3 million hinge-mounted microscopic mirrors; each of these micromirrors measures less than one-fifth the width of a human hair, and corresponds to one pixel in a projected image. When a DMD chip is coordinated with a digital video or graphic signal, a light source and a projection lens, its mirrors can reflect an all-digital image onto a screen or other surface. The DMD and the sophisticated electronics that surround it are what we call Digital Light Processing™ technology.
  • Digital Light Processing I: The Gray Scale Image
    A DMD panel's micromirrors are mounted on tiny hinges that enable them to tilt either toward the light source in a DLP™ projection system (ON) or away from it (OFF)-creating a light or dark pixel on the projection surface. The bit-streamed image code entering the semiconductor directs each mirror to switch on and off up to several thousand times per second. When a mirror is switched on more frequently than off, it reflects a light gray pixel; a mirror that's switched off more frequently reflects a darker gray pixel. In this way, the mirrors in a DLP™ projection system can reflect pixels in up to 1,024 shades of gray to convert the video or graphic signal entering the DMD into a highly detailed grayscale image.
  • Digital Light Processing II: Adding Color
    The white light generated by the lamp in a DLP™ projection system passes through a color wheel as it travels to the surface of the DMD panel. The color wheel filters the light into red, green and blue, from a single-chip DLP™ projection system can create at least 16.7 million colors. And the 3-DMD chip system found in DLP Cinema™ projection systems is capable of producing no fewer than 35 trillion colors. The on and off states of each micromirror are coordinated with these three basic building blocks of color. For example, a mirror responsible for projecting a purple pixel will only reflect red and blue light to the projection surface; our eyes then blend these rapidly alternating flashes to see the intended hue in a projected image.
  • Applications And Configurations
    Televisions, home theater systems and business projectors using DLP™ technology rely on a single DMD chip configuration like the one described above. White light passes through a color wheel filter, causing red, green and blue light to be shone in sequence on the surface of the DMD. The switching of the mirrors, and the proportion of time they are 'on' or 'off' is coordinated according to the color shining on them. The human visual system integrates the sequential color and sees a full-color image.
  • One-Chip DLP Projection System
    DLP™ technology-enabled projectors for very high image quality or high brightness applications such as cinema and large venue displays rely on a 3-DMD-chip configuration to produce stunning images, whether moving or still.
  • Three-Chip DLP Projection System
    In a 3-chip system, the white light generated by the lamp passes through a prism that divides it into red, green and blue. Each DMD chip is dedicated to one of these three colors; the colored light that each micromirror reflects is then combined and passed through the projection lens to form a single pixel in the image.

About HDTV Viewing Angles
The Viewing Angle of any TV is an important specification.  The wider the viewing angle, the more enjoyable your experience.  Viewing angles above 150° means you can view your TV from a reasonable range - from the front and off to the sides.  However, viewing angles above 170° are best!  Many of today's Plasma and LCD HDTVs offer viewing angles of 178°, and their images do not suffer from degradation at very high viewing angles.   LCD TVs were originally designed for a one user experience, as a computer monitor, but the technology has kept pace with the demands for ever increasing viewing angles, and most offer excellent viewing experiences.  Between LCD and Plasma; Plasma TVs have the advantage, but by a small margin.

Viewing angles are not an issue with projectors because the light source is coming from in front of the screen, and not from behind. However, the surface on which you project (screen or wall surface) may have a slight impact on viewing angles, so it is important to choose the best screen possible.

When creating a home theater, most people overlook the amazing benefits of using a DLP or LCD Projector instead of a large screen LCD or Plasma TV. Projectors provide the ultimate experience in big screen viewing. Instead of a 40 or 50 inch TV, with far less cost, you can have a 8 or 10 foot screen, and transform your living room into a true theater experience. Additionally, projectors are available with High Definition displays for incredibly crisp rich full color cinematic images. When you sit on a sofa 6 or 8 feet away from a 10 foot screen, it almost exactly the same experience as sitting in the movie theater (without the guy talking on his cell phone behind you!) So consider the ultimate upgrade to your home theater or gaming system. Add in a great home theater sound system, and for very little money, you've created a movie watching dimension the envy of your friends and family. So before you decide on your wide screen consider the perfect solution to transforming any living room into your own cineplex!
