The picture is great. Very clear and crisp. It looks especially good in HD. I have had it for almost 2 years now and only one problem. from Amazon.com It is quiet and pleasing in every way. Problem is that it suddenly decided to shut down completely without warning after five minutes; cools and restarts, then shuts down again. I called Beach Audio, which sells it for Amazon and they referred me to Optoma Tech Service (408-383-3700). The tech said it didn't sound like a bulb problem (I guess I'm thankful for that) and to send it back for service. from Amazon.com Five Stars: I am extremely happy with the H31,which I've had for about five months and used for several hours. The service reps promptly replaced the projector bulb,which, fortunately, malfunctioned within the 90-day replacement-guarantee period. from Amazon.com I will review this again later when Optoma replies to my suppor ticket, but for now, I cannot give this projector a good rating because the bulb just exploded at 300 hours. I was using this in my clean office, not a dusty room, and took good care of it. from Amazon.com I looked at a lot of reviews on Amazon before I chose the H31. I was looking for a quality projector that I could use in my classroom for powerpoint presentations. from Amazon.com The Optoma H31 is performing better than expected, over 200 hours now. I am surprised at the resolution of regular tv. from Amazon.com For the money this unit rocks. I use it for movie night out in the yard on a king size sheet as a screen and me and the neighbors love it. It might not be the highest quality picture out there but I didn't buy it for that. If your looking to set up a super high quality home theatre system then you will need to spend the big bucks. from Amazon.com I have been using my H31 for a month and can honestly say that I am completely satisfied I use it in a room with high ambient light. Out of the box the projector was less that dazzling. from Amazon.com I did a lot of research before buying a projector and DVD player for our basement theater. I have run 16mm and 8mm films for 30 years and was leary of video projection. I finally decided on the H31 because most of what we watch are old 3:4 black and white movies on DVD. from Amazon.com While you can read all about how great this projector displays ( bast display / $ value ), I am writing this for a whole other reason. After 2 weeks of viewing I dropped this projector and then it started to generate lot of fan noise. from Amazon.com
