Optoma ML750 WXGA 700 Lumen 3D Ready Portable DLP LED Projector with MHL Enabled HDMI Port

This projector will blow you away! Incredibly compact (4x4 inches or 10x10 cm) and surprisingly bright! Ive used this with my living room lights on and could still use the projector, and when you have it in your bedroom with the lights off its a full blown movie projector! The images are sharp and crisp, and the short-throw of the ML750ST is INCREDIBLE! With my projector just 10 feet away by our bed this projects the ENTIRE WALL! Weve hooked up an Amazon Fire TV stick to this and now stream all our movies (NetFlix, Vudu, Prime, YouTube, etc). This has ruined my 42" flat-screen TV for me. I have also hooked up our Bose Soundlink speaker (using aux cable) and now have a fantastic experience with a tremendously huge image. I was skeptical at first that this little unit could do 200" images, but not anymore! Great quality, great value, and no regrets! It even comes in a bag the size of a school lunch box! We plan to take this projector to work meetings, volunteer meetings that we belong to, as well as hosting movie nights and generally using this on a daily basis in our room for watching movies from now on. The comfort of having an LED light source with a 20,000 hour lamp life makes this a joy to own and use without any anxiety of trying to limit its uses or worry about buying an expensive replacement bulb that will dim over time. This is truly how projectors should be, compact, long-life, and really fun to use daily without worry. I highly recommend this projector for first time projector owners and people who want to dabble with what projectors can do for you. The 720p HD image is plenty crisp at these projected wall sizes for movies, trust me, youll LOVE this projector. Now my review wouldnt be complete without any drawbacks: The file reader and system on this projector is slow - like read your USB drive for a minute or two slow. But its mini SD card reader is blazingly fast (which is an okay alternative). To use the internal storage is a real pain though, you need to have a male USB-A to male USB-A cord lying around (or buy one) to hook it up to your computer and copy files over to. It has around 2 GB of file storage internally that you can use and access from the Media menu. Video looping for backgrounds can also be annoying as the unit will display the video titles and controls for 5 seconds every time it loops the file. Ideally this unit shines while using an HDMI smart device (ie. Roku, Fire TV, Chromecast, Shield TV, etc). At least with a Shield TV or Steam Link you can stream your games and play them like never before! But as other reviewers have pointed out, the speaker on this unit (while it does work) is tin sounding and weak, having an aux input speaker handy will really make you LOVE this unit, so be mindful if you dont already own another usable sound source. If youre worried about Bluetooth the Amazon Fire TV has a Bluetooth connection pairing ability that you can use if this is a deal-breaker for you.

Install Flash Player So I purchased the ML750ST with trepidation. Dropping $510 (it was on sale when I bought it) for a projector wasnt something I planned on doing nor something I NEEDED in my life, but Im happy I did. Okay, keep in mind, Ive only used this once so far. Last night I was cleaning my room. I set this up on my bed last night, just maybe 18" from the wall, and started cleaning my room. As you can see in the video, I had the lights on in the room and could still the image just fine. Apologies, this video was taken for SnapChat and I didnt mean to use it in my review so it shows a lot more cat than screen. I did not use any form of external audio and had no issues hearing the sound. Notes: I was alone (except for the cat) and never more than 15 away. I was watching American Horror Story so there werent any loud explosions or deep bass to account for. So far, Im super happy. I also tested the keystone adjustment by throwing the image onto my ceiling from a 45 degree angle. I was able to adjust the keystone all the way back to a perfect rectangle. That made me happy. The included case is nice, albeit super soft. Theres tons of flexibility to toss a few extra goodies in there. I currently have some extra cables and my ChromeCast in the bag. Photos included with the review. Speaking of Chromecast, it worked seamlessly. As soon as I plugged in my device it immediately began casting - no set up or input selection needed. It seems the model has changed a bit since most of the answers were posted. For audio output, my ML750ST has a headphone jack. I was able to test it using an audio cable to connect that to my speaker set. That being said, the audio from the projector itself was fine for me to watch a few episodes of TV alone in my room while cleaning. It reached across the room fine and was clear enough. Something neat that I didn’t see noted elsewhere is that the back of the projector has a spot to attach a security cable! I have one I purchased for my Macbook Pro a few years ago that just yesterday I threw into a "donate" pile…. Ill be digging that back out now to keep with this projector! It does NOT come with a manual. This may annoy some but I find it refreshing because I always scan them the first week then they end up in a junk pile somewhere. You can view the manual and save a copy to your computer at Optomas website but Ive also included in my review a few screenshots of diagrams from the manual I found useful! I also found that additional detailed specs and such are available on this datasheet at Optoma USAs website. Amazon wont let me link to it!

Great portable projector! I travel a lot for work and am giving presentations weekly. The majority of the time I have been able to connect my laptop up to the customers projector. However, I was dragging a ton of cables with me for VGA, HDMI or other and sometimes ran into a situation where I could not get my laptop to sync with the customers TV or projector. This little guy stores in my backpack with my laptop without taking up much space. I purchased a cable with HDMI to the Apple Mini (video port on my laptop) which stores nicely in the case this projector came with. Ive used it a few times. Resolution is clear and it can be seen well even with ambient light. I have a college that bought one of these a couple years ago that is very low in the Lumens category so you almost had to have the room blacked out to see any kind of quality image. Many of the products I sell are related to Medical Imaging so Image quality is a must have. This projector has impressed everyone where Ive set it up. For the price, you cant go wrong. FYI, if your laptop has the apple mini video out port, this cable is great (light weight and just right for length): http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B007RQ3J7G?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00

As stated by most reviewers, this projector is amazing. I find myself using this over any of my flat screens at home, one of which I paid about 15k when large flat-screens first came out. We have lots of fun projecting this onto my 100” collapsible screen diring outside movie nights or pay-per view fights. I also use it on dj gigs (sometimes in rear projecting mode). Its still going strong considering its been knocked off a tripod several times. Whenever possible, Ill use a camera shoe to strap the projector onto a patio or I play it safe by mounting it on my light truss. My old 3000 Lumen projector is way brighter and perfect for a home theater, but I’m constantly replacing the bulb. This projector may not be as bright, but there’s no need for replacement bulbs. I find this led projector to be a good compromise as long as its playing in a dark environment. Im definitely looking into also purchasing the new short-throw model. Thank you.

I have the ML750 version of this guy, and its great for giving presentations to small/medium sized audiences in semi-dim lighting. Construction quality is certainly good for the price. I wasnt prepared for just how small it is...about the size of an Apple TV (though thicker...maybe two stacked on top of one another). Fits great in my backpack, and its light enough to carry everywhere. Image quality is acceptable with an image up to about six or eight feet in diameter. I most often use the HDMI connection, but it works with a standard 15-pin VGA as well. Paired with a Chromecast, Apple TV or similar device, you can beam presentations wirelessly from your iPad or iPhone - very convenient. At 700 lumens, its not bright enough to do big screen presentations in bright light. Some of the Epson projectors (which are way bigger) pump out quite a bit more light - this one is more for the kind of room where you can close the blinds and lower the lights if needs be. Only thing I really dont like is that the fan is fairly loud for the size of the unit - its a droning, high pitch that I just find annoying. Also, keep in mind that while this guy excels for business graphics (Powerpoint, etc), you probably wouldnt want to watch hi-def movies on it - just not that sort of image quality - so dont think it replaces a $20K 4K projector. Still, for an extremely portable and easy to use solution when you need to put a few PPT slides in front of a group, its a great option.

This projector is A-W-E-S-O-M-E! I actually bought this used in "like new" condition from Amazon Warehouse and the description was spot on. Did not come in original packaging, but the projector and all accessories were flawless. As for performance, this project rocks! It is ultra portable, Ive used it for presentations and slide shows in and outside of the office and home. And even to watch movies on a sheet outside on the lawn or on the wall in the living room for a movie theater like experience for the kids. Everyone agrees that it is awesome and cant believe how such a great picture comes out of such a small device. Performance in lighted areas is acceptable. Presentations in a lighted room are acceptable and you can even watch video with sunlight coming in through the windows. Dont expect an awesome display outdoors during the day however. However, for a 700 lumen projector, it is amazing! It even has a built in speaker if you dont have the video source outputting to a speaker or sound system. However, dont expect bose quality sound out of this. If the room is quiet, the sound is sufficient, but if you are competing with other sounds, or in an open air environment, I highly suggest you connect a set of speakers to this, or output it to a sound system. One thing I found myself doing was hooking up a Google Chromecast to the HDMI port and used my phone to cast movies, pictures, and games to the projector. Ultra cool! If you can afford it, buy it! Also, dont be afraid of Amazon warehouse, good experiences so far!

I was looking for a solution that was compact and had a low-energy usage. For my application in an off-grid solar powered RV traditional projectors use too many watts for prolonged battery use. This unit can run hours on my 180 AH battery with a draw of around 60-80Watts on the battery (incl. apapter loss) The image is vibrant and crisp. I believe the aperture is quite large so the image needs to be carefully focused. Brightness is more than adequate for my usage, any more and it would blind on a 1.1 gain screen. The price is hard to beat and in applications where a TV takes too much space its a winner. Fan noise is noticeable!!!

Compared side-by-side with a C200 Laser Beam Pro and this won hands down. Menu is easy to navigate, image is stunning and extremely bright, and everything works as it should. LOVE the short throw ratio! Sitting 5 feet away from the wall creates a massive image! Very compact and comes with a nice case and extras. Cant wait to take this with me on trips and also entertain the family with outdoor movie nights.

I Purchased the Optoma ML750 for business travel (PPT, etc.) and I use it for professional presentations as well as for lost of fun (movies, etc.). I use both a MAC and PC laptop. The Optoma ML750 has outstanding brightness and clarity in dark areas (in-doors and out) and works well in lighted rooms for presentations up to around 36". Color rendition is very good; its comparable to my old 2000 lumen bulb projector. Unlike other LED projectors, this one displays video in full WXGA! Others down convert for data coming from Flash drives and other sources. The projector is very easy to setup and operate. Its very small and fits in my thin briefcase but I generally travel with its soft case that has a handle. Oh, I use it outdoors on a stretched sheet for kids animated movies. It was a BIG hit. It would be even better if: 1) it had a speaker output (it does have a Universal cable that can connect to external speaker however) 2) could be battery operated (only for my use with kids)

Got this with one day shipping while dog sitting. Had a pool party and projected youtube music videos on the ceiling of the pool (3 stories up to the ceiling). It was a good party; Anyways, the 700 lumens is too bright in a dim room. I returned mine to get the 500 lumen version because 700 lumens hurt my eyes after a short while (couldnt find a dimming option). The package it comes in resembles a small lunch box, this projector is about the same size of a burger.
