The good things I have found is it has a great picture. It’s easy to install (as easy as any overhead projector) and keeps pretty quiet. When it’s working, I am happy with the HD7100. The problems I have had: I have had this product in use for about 8 months. from Cnet.com "To summarize - if I had a $3500 or less budget for a home theater projector, and if the Optoma HD7100 is compatible with my theater room (placement wise), it would absolutely be my first choice of all the projectors I have reviewed!" from Projectorreviews.com "We were very eager to get our hands on the new Optoma HD7100 home theater projector, considering the very high performance we achieved with the recently reviewed Optoma HD72 . The New HD7100 boasts 5000:1 contrast ratio, incorporates the new 0.80-inch DarkChip3 technology and includes horizontal and vertical lens shift. from audioholics "The Optoma HD7100 projector produced reasonably sharp, well-defined images." from audioholics My decision to purchase this projector boiled down to it being the best value in its price range. At my price point of $2,000 to $3,000, I had initially decided I would purchase the Panasonic PT-AE900U; however, in the period of weeks--yes weeks!--that I was planning my home theater for my new home, the Optoma HD7100 hit the market and helped create a noticeable shift in the pricing of budget conscious home theater projectors. Optoma's predecessor to the HD7100 sold for around $6,000 just a year ago. from Cnet.com With native 720p resolution at under $3,000, I don’t think any other Darkchip3 DLP projector can match the HD7100’s image quality. The four-way lens is just wonderful (!) -- providing easy installation with precision and flexibility. from Pricegrabber.com With native 720p resolution at under $3,000, I don’t think any other Darkchip3 DLP projector can match the HD7100’s image quality. The four-way lens is just wonderful (!) -- providing easy installation with precision and flexibility. from Mwave.com I can't believe you can get it for under $3,000: I found the images to be rich and vibrant. Weaknesses: Could not really find any. Summary: With native 720p resolution at under $3,000, I don’t think any other Darkchip3 DLP projector can match the HD7100’s image quality. The four-way lens is just wonderful (!) -- providing easy installation with precision and flexibility. from Pricegrabber.com Summary: With native 720p resolution at under $3,000, I don’t think any other Darkchip3 DLP projector can match the HD7100’s image quality. The four-way lens is just wonderful (!) -- providing easy installation with precision and flexibility. from Mwave.com We love our new Optoma projector! After purchasing a Playstation 3 we were looking to move up from a 720i to a 1080i projector. from Amazon.com
