Optoma ML750 WXGA 700 Lumen 3D Ready Portable DLP LED Projector with MHL Enabled HDMI Port I wanted to love this projector because I am the happy owner of an Optoma HD26 and I was hoping to reclaim some space and shed some pounds when I travel. I was delighted when I read the marketing material for the ML750 which said, "Brightness, Color and Contrast ... it packs the power and performance of a full-sized projector in the palm of your hand." It does not pack the performance of a full-sized projector. It it not as bright, colors are washed out, and focus is not great. I tried several different modes, played with contrast and white levels, and never got a picture that I would be comfortable using in a business environment. If you had a dim room, could get your projector close-ish to the wall (like 6-ft), and if your deck/slides/PowerPoint didnt have graphics that relied on contrast, you would have a picture that was pretty good. It would be small-ish (4 to 5-ft wide), but it might be acceptable. If you had a dark room, image quality would be better. Fan noise, like all fans on all projectors, can be insistent at times. You can always fall back on the cool factor for this thing. It is very cool. Put it on a Manfrotto tripod and you will have the coolest gear in the room. It is much better than a bunch of people hunkered around a laptop screen, so if that is your point of comparison the ML750 is definitely something you should buy. Unfortunately compared to a full-size projector, it is not a game changer without compromise. I will continue to pack my Optoma HD26 and "wow" people with its image quality and relatively compact size (12.4" x 4.0" x 8.8", 5.5 lbs.) Sigh.
