It is a very powerful projector only at night. If you have daylight or any sort of light coming in. it is not good as they claim.

So this my second order for same projector, as first got return due to my mistake (wrong address on account). Second projector arrived next day in good packaging through royal mail 24 hours tracked.

One inevitable consequence of the UHD shake-up at the top of the home theatre projection market (think pricey 4K models from Sony and faux 4K alternatives from JVC and Epson), is that there are now serious bargains to be had lower down the ranks.

Compact and easy to set-up; Excellent Full HD performance; Vibrant colour fidelity; Suitable for movies and games

Doesn't do a deep black; Awful onboard audio system; Limited motion resolution

If you thought you had to budget big for a 1080p gaming and movie projector, think again. As 4K (and faux-4K) models take top billing, regular HD models are getting cheaper, and better, than ever. Optoma's single-chip DLP HD27 is a case in point.

Sharp; Rich colours; Bright enough for rooms with light; Great for movies and gaming

Limited black level; Poor built-in sound system; Can be noisy

Given the price point you have to accept that the materials used will be befitting of that budget.

Excellent colour accuracy to Rec.709; Good brightness and motion; Excellent 3D performance; Good image sharpness from the lens; Excellent build...

Some obvious rainbow effect with certain material; Mediocre black levels and shadow detail; Noisy even in Eco mode; No 3D glasses or emitter provided

VERY impressed with this projector, use it every day now and refuse to use anything else. Gaming surprised me as the input lag is non existent, and I'm pretty picky. I was worried that I'd regret this purchase but I assure you I do not, well worth the price.

It runs hot around the collar, could sport better gaming performance, and the onboard sound is about one step above an external iPhone speaker – but for everything it lacks, the Optoma HD27 shines where it matters when it comes to its insane, record-breaking brightness and Rec.709 cinematic-quality...

"I chose this projector for my teenage daughter's room. It is a good price and feels sturdy and well built. The focus wheel is smooth and unlike other projector in its price range it is not noisy. The image is very sharp and it is also very good for gaming.

Looks amazing
