Optoma Hd28hdr 1080p Home Theater Projector For Gaming and Movies | Support For 4k Input | Hdr Compatible | 120hz Refresh Rate | Enhanced Gaming Mode

My family & i have been using an hd projector & a 100′ screen as our tv for a number of years. I bought the hd27 to replace a much higher priced epson 6100 3lcd projector that tended to eat bulbs every 6-12 months (no bulb ever reached its advertised life expectancy). The epson’s picture was sharp but was also very dim, even set to its brightest. When the auto iris finally died we were left with the decision of spending a minimum $325 to ship the unit off to have it fixed, or spending under $600 for a new optoma. More of a concern than price however, was the fact that our old projector was mounted to the ceiling much further away from the screen than the optoma specs allowed for a 100′ image. We really didn’t want to have to relocate the mount and repair the ceiling in the old location, so we were somewhat hesitant. Finally we decided that it was worth it in order to do away with the old bulb eater. Boy am i glad we chose the optoma. In a nutshell, this projector is outstanding.

I was leaning towards my next tv being uhd/4k, in the 70-90′ range, but every time i looked around at the hdr/dolby vision capable ones, oleds from lg, suhd from samsung and sony models, i suffered severe sticker shock at the $2000-$7000+ prices. Then i got to thinking what the movie theater experience is really about, and that is presence/size. The theater is an experience because of the larger than life size with great sound and clear picture. That returned my thinking to front projection screens on 100 inches or more.While the uhd/4k/hdr flat panel tvs will give you the best contrast, blacks and detail, for the price, they will never offer the same return on investment as this optoma hd27 on my 120′ screen that i ended up going withthis isn’t my first projector. I had one of the earlier 720p panasonic 3-lcd projectors about 10 years ago (2006), which at the time, was one of the most popular home theater projectors, going for $1500-$2000 range. The contrast ratio of that coveted model was only about 5500. Now we have these 1080p dlp models with 25,000 contrast ratios at amazing low prices. Coming from that previous projector to this one, the higher 1080p resolution, colors, and contrast ratio is more than enough to keep me happy. Unless you are sitting less than 6 feet from the screen, you won’t miss the detail that a 4k version offers.

Your browser does not support html5 video.  ok, i came from another less expensive model, the hd143x with 3000 lumens and full hd. This model hd28hdr is very different, the hdr and ‘4k ready’ makes a big big difference. The colors are far better, this one have 3600 lumens, the 4k obviously it is no a real 4k but, its not a full hd either , it is something in between, i mean, you will see the difference for good. 4k is a luxury that in my case, i can’t afford it (a 4k projector is $1000 and more), but, this projector is a very good middle point between something real expensive and something very good. The lamp is very cheap to replace, has 12000 hours lifespam, a good brightness , very very quiet noise. The speaker is really simple, almost weak, but, you don’t buy a projector for the power of the speaker right?. In conclusion, this is a good choice for demanding users with an intermediate budget. You will not get disappointed.

Long time reader, first time reviewer. I’ve owned a couple lower-end optoma hd projectors over the last decade and always wished for a price comparable 90′ flat screen tv (because. When viewing hdr content on this projector i just don’t feel the same longing. Netflix, vudu and xboxx games offer content to take full advantage of the hdr. The contrast and black levels are on par with the led tvs we’ve got around the house. For non-hdr stuff the brightness and the picture quality still make it a worthy upgrade from my hd66. My ceiling mount throw distance is 10’ and it will do 90” when wide open which is fine for me as my screen is only 92”. Can’t say that i’ve noticed, or even quite sure i’ve taken advantage of, the 16ms gaming lag claim.

Very bright and does well in ambient light. Fan is pretty quiet, not noticeable at all. Getting about 93inch throw from 10. One more foot and i would be able to fill the full 100 inch screen i have. The only con is that there is no horizontal keystone adjustment for projecting at angles, but vertical keystone is great.No blurring around the edges.
