Image Projectors Outdoor

This projector has been outstanding. It projects a stunning 4k image which rivals projectors at 4 times the cost. The menu is very intuitive and easy to navigate. Outstanding black reproduction and OMG does this projector shine when you are using it in a a room with lots of ambient light. It cuts right through the daylight. I have enjoyed mine for the past year but sadly must part with it since i am moving and my new home will only accommodate an ultra short throw projector. My loss will be a good pre-owned deal for the next owner. I managed to get an outstanding 120 inch picture from this projector ceiling mounted and only 10 feet from the screen. If your considering the PX-701 4K just do it you wont regret it.

This is a review for the Epson EF-11 Laser Projector that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review. I have had a few different projectors. The first two thoughts that popped in my mind during set up were (1) how compact and lightweight the projector is and (2) the stunning image quality. Pros The setup took less than 2 minutes. Pairing a phone or connecting the HDMI was smooth and quick. The video and image qualities are extremely sharp, even from afar. Adequate HD audio quality which is surprising for a small projector. Does not generate extreme heat like my old projectors. For a lightweight projector, constructions seem high quality. Cons I mistakenly inserted 128 GB USB Drive for my test, which seems to be too much for this projector. A lesser capacity USB Drive worked fine. So this does not concern me. We watched a few movies and videos with popcorn and loved it.

I've used several short throw projectors, from BenQ and Optoma, and this Epson is by far the best I've used. It's quick and easy to set up, the keystone is very easy to use, and the projector is very responsive - when the HDMI signal is present, it takes about a second for the image to show up. (In contrast to Optoma laser short throw which takes like 5-6 seconds for the image to show up)

I mean, as far as projectors go, this one is pretty much perfect except for the size. Great 4k image, HDR, fantastic image placement adjustment (manual adjusters are the GOAT). It is very big, but it's not even that heavy, and I'm not complaining that much because the thing runs so quietly and cool that I honestly forget that it's on my ceiling most of the time. The fact that it has a dark paint job is another bonus.

I tried an LCD projector before this one and even exchanged it for a second one. Even though the specs on the LCDs were the same as the HD66, I was very dissatisfied with the image, especially the darks. I even suspected both of those LCD projectors were defective. The LCD projector was in the same list price range as the HD66. I was comparing the LCD with a projector I was borrowing whose list priced for much more than my purchases and whose image was very good. The Optoma HD66 not only blew away the returned LCD projectors, but it was even better than the expensive borrowed projector. I use the projector almost exclusively for movies using my PC VGA as a source. The HD66 has a very wide dynamic range. The colors are rich but the image still retains details in the darks (the many dark scenes in Brave projected brightly enough). There seems to be no issue with motion smoothness. The controls are very easy to use. I haven't noticed any DLP rainbow effect. Even though some reviews said I would want to manually set it up, I was happiest with a couple of the presets, sRGB and Presentation (Film preset seemed too dark). My three minor complaints are that the throw is a tiny bit too long (my room is not very deep), there's not much of a zoom and the image focus is very slightly soft (noticeable only in the VLC or Quicktime controls). But I'm a very discriminating viewer, so most wouldn't notice this. I have not tried anything in 3D, so can't report on that. I have not tried the HDMi input, nor the on-board speaker. I've tried up to about 75 image so far. The image is so good that I have a new problem: I'm seeing artifacts and imperfections in the compression codecs of the videos I'm watching that were masked before by the performance limit of the other projectors I used. I hear that Optoma has been making projectors for a long time. Their expertise in this area is evident in the HD66.

I use to protect my projectors.

bought two of these cases to fill with Optoma Projectors. The projectors fit great after removing the pull-out foam. Anyone with professional gear that needs to travel must have some of these cases.

I love using this product for outdoor sport. Good image quality and easy to use.

We have purchased several of these mounts over the years for various projectors.

Excellent to use with projectors or to use to distribuite the signal!! and will last forever!!
