Reviews of the Optoma HD81-LV
-
CNET Review
The Good: Accurate color decoding for both SD and HD sources, very good video processing with included external processor; more connectivity than nearly all competing projectors.
The Bad: Poor gamma and grayscale tracking at high light output settings; very little flexibility for setup and installation; no vertical lens shift.
The Bottom Line: Although a good performer if you use it with a relatively small screen, the Optoma HD81-LV 1080p DLP projector is overly complex and difficult to set up and install.
