Every year, projectors get less expensive. And every year, there is a projector that pushes the price/performance envelope, trying to give the consumer more for less. The HD65 is such a projector. This sub-US$1000 powerhouse cranks out nearly 1200 ANSI lumens while maintaining good ANSI contrast and color balance. It is a perfect choice for watching HDTV programming, using video game consoles, or simply watching a movie with a few lights on.

The Optoma HD65, is a well balanced projector, brighter than most, very affordable (one of the least expensive out there), and produces one of the most color accurate images of any projector, right out of the box, without having to mess around. All of this considered, it easily earned our Hot Product Award, and I see it as a contender for one of the two Best in Class categories in the upcoming 720p Projector Comparison, athough there is plenty of competition.
Despite an overall excellent image quality, the HD65 is first and foremost, an excellent choice for people who just want a projector that will do a great job, without the owner having to spend time messing around with it. |
