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

Comment

Purchased this when no reviews were available on Amazon or the wider web so took a bit of a risk. I had an old optoma which claimed 3000 lumens, so I was a little concerned this unit wouldnt be bright. In fact, Its amazing. Things I love: * Tiny, literally, its a true micro projector. Fits in palm of hand. * Very bright, widescreen display, even at 4m in a light room. Incredible given size of projector. * Easy setup and remote for keystone etc. * High quality color and great constrast ratio Things I dont love: * It has a couple of small fans which create a high pitched sound all the time, to varying levels (depending on screen mode). During quieter parts in movies or TV its noticeable. Overall, this projector creates an incredible display from a tiny package and Id highly recommend it to anyone in a smaller room or who travels a lot.

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 just got my Optoma ML550 after watching artist Ted Nuttall use one for his presentations and some of his art work. He told me the new one would be smaller and it certainly is! At 4.5 inches square by 1.5 inches thick it is remarkably small yet amazingly powerful. I decided to go which the 500 lumen because it is very powerful - I would guess it compares to a 1500 lumen with the other type of bulbs. These units have LED lights which are very durable and energy efficient and long lasting all major pluses. It is a no brainer to hook up and I was up and going in no time which was fortunate because Im not very tech oriented and I had to use it for a presentation right out of the box. Why only 4 stars then? Well I guess a little adjustment for angle would be useful in the bottom front like slide projectors used to have - granted the unit is so small you can just stack books or something under it so this is not a biggy. Due maybe to size it takes a micro SD card instead of a standard SD card. I would have liked to be able to plug in a standard one. I have not tried using a card reading hub to see if that might work - if it does I would be really happy. Please note - this rating is just my first impression for what I think will be a great unit. Also if you are in a small apartment or just dont have room for a big screen tv this unit projects even in 3 D and you can feed in video and such - I have not tried all these features yet - who knows I might get rid of my TV and just enjoy the home theater experience with this little unit.

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!!!

Small-sized and good for traveling, which is why I bought it. Fairly good projection, especially in smaller, mostly darkened rooms. Some of the included cable attachments felt a bit flimsy; e.g. some had small screws that didnt actually work and were unable to bond two cables more tightly. After less than three years, the color wheel developed a problem and the projected images were purple. Out-of-warranty repair for this problem is no less than $200-$250, and there are no authorized repair centers -- the product must be shipped to the central service center in Fremont, CA -- and repair would take a minimum of 8-10 days. Therefore, youre paying for the portability of this item, but my experience has shown that this product is poor value in terms of maintenance

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)

This is my third projector. My previous two being an Optoma ML500 and an ASUS B1M. I had sold the ML500 because the fan was very noisy, and some movies played from USB with noticeable delays. I purchased ASUS B1M seeing its 700 lumen rating and got it for an offer during Thanksgiving. The ASUS B1M was silent, ran cool. But it didnt justify the 700 lumen it claimed. ML500 seemed better to me considering the color performance and movie performance. So a bit disappointed with ASUS B1M and based on my previous experience with Optoma, I decided to buy ML550. Here is what I like. -Small size, can easily fit to a small bag -Not noisy as ML500. Noise is not distracting for me while watching movies -A budget projector for watching movies, photos Here is what I wished I would have had -You should consider ML750 if budget allows Now to the cons -The Audio out is not of good listening experience, if you are an audiophile. Certain frequencies seems to be restricted. Rather use a DVD/BD player and take the Audio Output. -The focus is tricky. I sometimes find one edge of the screen to be out of focus. -Optoma seems to have removed some menu options for adjusting color when compared to ML500 Overall I am satisfied with the purchase

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.

I plug a FireTV stick to it (there is even a powered USB port at the back of this projector), watching Prime movies. The quality of picture is good, manual focus. you can only use it in environment that is dim. I tried to watch movie in a west facing room at 2pm, I cant see much. Watch the same movie at 6pm in the same room, it is a lot better.
