What customers say about "Key Specs"

Optoma HD142X 1080p Home Theater Projector

I bought this unit because it offered outstanding viewing qualities - high brightness resolution, high video and graphic's resolution, good pricing and portability.
The vast array of options and features make this one of the best, if not, the best budget home theatre projector with a full 1080p native resolution.
Excellent color reproduction , mamboing contrast , do very well in dark scenes.
One of the reasons I went with this model was because of the higher brightness rating. I have it in my living room which has blinds over the windows, but theres still a decent amount of ambient light in the room in the middle of the afternoon.
Rainbows are everywhere in high contrast scenes like credits on black background, my older DLP has none compared to this one.

Optoma HD141X Full HD 3D 1080p Projector

On it's brightest setting, it really does manage to work in sunlight quite well, though I'd say to use blinds/curtains if you can to keep that contrast ratio nice and dark.
The brightness starts low on switch on but within a minute or two it is super bright on Eco mode.
It was extremely easy to set up and provides a bright, crystal clear picture.
Even in daylight it's visible enough but i don't recommend it for daylight viewing although when it's dark enough it's the best choice,
You can see it in daylight indoors, the colours great.

What customers say about "Display"

Optoma HD142X 1080p Home Theater Projector

I have it at a fairly good distance and its projecting a huge crip and color rich picture. Setup was super easy.
It does have 60 frames per second and also a great picture for gaming or watching movies and shows
I had been looking for a projector for awhile. The picture looks great on my 100" 16:9 screen. I'm glad I purchased it.
Image in bright even scenes in uneven, but not that noticeable on other scenes.
Not enough zoom for bedroom use. Image size does not gets to THX recommended 40 degrees viewing angle.

Optoma HD141X Full HD 3D 1080p Projector

I've been able to scale it up to 100 inches. At this size, it's still incredibly bright and vivid and makes movies an utter joy.
The picture size (throw) is pretty good too. We project it onto a wall with a chimney stack and it exceeds the width from about 3 metres back
The picture quality is excellent for the cost, and it’s quite easy to setup.
Would highly recommend, Very sharp 1080p image, great for movie nights.
Ceiling mounted, paired with a 100" manual drop down screen, it's the home cinema I've always wanted at an incredible price.

What customers say about "Features"

Optoma HD142X 1080p Home Theater Projector

longer lamp life of 8000 hour compared to about 5000 average on others
I especially like that the projector has a USB port so that I can power my Amazon Fire stick directly from the projector.
Decent speaker on it can be used occasionally but would need better speaker if watching movies
The internal speaker is not the greatest. Voice sound clear and loud but anything else is bad, external speaker strongly recommended.
Also the speaker is not great & I think the could've threw in some type of stand or mount but maybe I'm asking for too much now.

Optoma HD141X Full HD 3D 1080p Projector

I absolutely love it. There's a ton of features on it to change in terms of audio and video, has 3d capability, can be used in a relatively short room and is just an easy thing to use.
I've lost track of how many hours, but it has to be over the hours it's claimed to go before a new bulb.
Never used 3D, but for HD, it's perfect. Don't even need a screen. White painted wall - perfect.
Amazing 2D and 3D, couldn't be happier. Very quiet too, totally acceptable for projectors, and I've owned a few.
I am using it for gaming and it looks beautiful. ps3 gaming, laptop gaming all looks good.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

Optoma HD142X 1080p Home Theater Projector

USB power is a must have for chromecast, amazon fire, or other usb peripherals
It has a USB port to power up firestick
Only 2 HDMI and no other inputs
Only 2 HDMI ports and 2 audio ports. I wish they had included a few more ports.

Optoma HD141X Full HD 3D 1080p Projector

Initially hooked up to a PC using a hdmi cable and worked a treat. Now it has a chromecast plugged straight into it so that we can feed various sources.
Inputs and outputs offer a good selection. Due to the number of devices i have i think I'll need to invest in an AV receiver rather than swapping the HDMI out of the back of the TV each time.
We have it mounted on the ceiling projecting on to a 90 inch screen, connecting to a Denon AV Receiver with Pioneer 5.1 speakers. 3D works well too.
Connecting this to the laptop via one of the HDMI connections was a doddle. Simply attach the cable, and you're almost there.
Connected directly with TV, PS4, Xbox, Firestick TV, laptop and its just amazing.
