Summary: Optoma 719 and ep739 rules!!!
Comment: !*!*!*! First off I have used other projectors in the past and was well on my way to buying either dlp or plasma 52" Tv with hdtv tuner built in...
In buisness most projectors are a hassle and the quality is only good if all the lights are off and even then they seemed far behind the Tv compatition. Then in the midst of purchasing a Tv a guru salesman came over to me and said "Doc, if you really want something awesome try the optoma Ep739, or its cheaper brother the optoma 719.
!*!*!*!.. I found a dealer with the optoma 719 and was very impressed with its ability to be bright even with two target touch lamps on in the room. The kids were impressed with the xbox 360 working with the system on display in 480 as well as 720, I didnt see it in 1080i but heard it was a stunner. We opted to go ahead and purchase the higher end brother the Optoma EP739 through circuit city online, since most retail stores bestbuy and circuit city dont cary the hi end stuff they usually just sell it through the web cause they sell tons of the cheap stuff at their store and very little use for big boy toys.
!*!*!*!*!In perpetual conclusion, after three days of anticipation we had it mounted and had the av switcher hooked up running 5 other devices to the projector.

...for the xbox 360 and the hi definition dvd player we had purchased, you can connect those directly to the unit as well and the unit will know which one is turned on immedietly, if it doesnt pick it up at first in every 10 seconds it will resync and try again, if you are impatient as me and my wife have become due to T1 internet connections, you can just use the remote and tell it which input area you want to use. AND the best feature is that it will auto recognize the setting. So xbox360 auto to 720p and is unbelievable! as for bulb life buy the longest best warranty, every 45 days ask for a new bulb if ya need it or not. they will gladly give you one and it makes for good savings down the road when you are off the warranty. some other hot tips....
@*@*@*@*@*@*@ Dont buy one with a bunch of fancy [...] like a dvdplayer built in, cause if it goes your screwed. dont buy one under 2000: 1 contrast, thats as low as you ever want. and never below 2000 lumins.
.... Dont buy any with autofocus, the one we had in the office had auto focus, and sure enough it went out. manual focus is fine and very easy to use.
@*@*@*@*@ Buy a swiffer dust magnet pad, they are blue soft feathery fluffy thing and slip on the end of a stick most wives will know what this is, it is a dream tool to clean the outside lens, usually i dont even touch the lens, the dust particles just fly off toward the blue pad.
!*!*!*!*! As for screens yu dont have to buy one if you have 2000 lumins and a clean white wall. but if your paying 1,400 to 2,200 for a projector you might as well spend 100.00 on a descent screen. Optoma once again is king in my eyes and Ive seen alot. another good idea is the new paint you can purchase to use instead of a screen, if you are planning to go huge movie size like 20 feet or so, this is the way to do it. I would frame the painted area with crown molding and then paint the molding jet dull nonreflective black. This really helps to set it apart.
@*@*@*@*@*@*@ Other wonderfull secrets, if your projector operates on a 802. frequency you can purchase a television tuner box that will send it a wireless connection through your house. addlogix MA-WL-DVI EchoView Wireless Video Adapter retail 300.00 is one for example, I have not seen this in action so no clue YET.
here are the stats on that...
Send comptuer video (up to 1024 x 768) wirelessly to video displays
Works with VGA or DVI projectors, CRT monitors, flat panels, or TVs
Compatible with wireless (802.11 b/g) enabled PC (no additional hardware required)
Plug-and-play installation with driver installed from the product (no CD)
Presenter no longer needs to be close to the projector (not limited by cable)
Access Internet or local area network (LAN) through on-board 10/100 Ethernet interface....
Lastly ,,,for now... HD dvd players are the hot new thing, unfortunatly its harder than heck to find a dvd thats hdtv quality, but trust me they look 2x as good. We get ours from NetFlix, and the upconvert on our Hd dvd player does a Ok job. Another unfortunate thing, those Hd dvd players usually dont come with the HDMI cable so you will have to purchase one, the cheap aluminum ones are around 50.00 the 24k gold ones are 150.00 dollars. But very much worth it when you get the chance to show it off. The last benefit to projector is, we take it with us on vacation as well as everytime we are in a hotel since it only weighs 5lbs and comes with a great carry case.

Summary: Unbelievably good image; good dual-use machine
Comment: I bought this strictly for PowerPoint presentations. But to show it off to my wife, I connected it to our DVD player. My Lord! The image is flawless. You can get totally lost in the detail of a movie in an only partially dimmed room (Venetian blinds, sunny day). In the dark, it is exactly like being in a theater. Because of our small place, we have only been able to show about a 60" diameter image, but I have projected it across the room and been able to see clear detail on the wall.
I can see the rainbow effect on other DLP projectors, although it doesn't bother me. I can't see it on this one. My only complaint is the faint dot crawl at the edge of high contrast areas, which I understand might go away if I used an S-Video connection. (Note--as far as I can tell, the S-video connection won't work with progressive scan DVD players.) But the dot crawl is faint, and only shows up when I look for it. Overall, the image is infinitely better than on our 21" TV.
I still haven't hooked it up to my laptop, and we have 12 hours logged on the lamp. If you want a business projector that can project a good image in fairly bright environments and double to show movies on Saturday night, this is the one.

Summary: Stunning picture clarity (1080i)
Comment: I found this projector to be the Best Bang for the Buck after comparison shopping with all the different brands available. Comparing 2500:1 contrast ratio, 2000 ANSI lumens, 16x9 aspect ratio, up to 300 inches screen size projection (huge), 720p or 1080i (high def. DLP), easy set-up, multi connectivity and compatibility for under 1 grand is remarkable while other brand doesn't even come close. Ofcourse there are better specs. projectors out there but be ready to pay more. The higher the contrast ratio and ANSI lumens the better.
To enjoy the full potential of a 1080i picture (movie theater experience minus the annoying person behind you) you need to connect an HD source or an upconverting DVD like Samsung ($130) and a surround sound system. Soon you'll look forward to every Friday & Saturday movie nights at home with the kids and a big smile on your face.
