If you get this product you are going to want the 3D glasses too. Battlefield V in 3D is da bomb. Walk through the fields and watch the grass brush past your head. Great picture even in moderate light. No need to buy 3D movies. This product converts movies to 3D. I was blown away be the capabilities of this projector.
I will admit that up until I ordered this product I had never heard the brand name Optoma before and was a bit skeptical of how well this unit would work. Fortunately, the lack of a brand name really ended up making no difference and I found this model to perform incredibly well. I have tested a number of different projection systems over the past 1-2 years both at work and at home. Ive tested everything from low-end, Android-based TV projectors to high-end, brand-name commercial multimedia systems that cost upward of $1,000. I wont say that this is THE best product Ive tested thus far, but it certainly gives you high-end performance at a fraction of what most high-end projectors currently sell for. The top things I look for in a projector are contrast, brightness and sharpness of the picture. This model excels in each of these areas. The 3400 lumen bulb projects an incredibly bright picture that is easily visible in either closed rooms or even direct sunlight. Theres no need to even dim the lights to get a brilliant picture from this projector. Contrast obviously varies due to what you are projecting on to and the lighting conditions, but this model performed similarly to $1,000+ projectors that I have tried out over the last few months. The resolution on this model matches anything you are likely to find in the sub-$1,500 range with full HD quality. Along with the projector you also get an attractive bag to carry it in, a detachable lens cap, AC cord, remote, 2 AAA batteries for the remote and a CD containing the operating manual. You do not receive a printed copy of the manual. The manual that comes on the CD is pretty basic and is unfortunately common to several different models. Some of the things in the manual are applicable, some are not. Fortunately, this model has one of the simpler on-screen interfaces I have tested, so most people should be able to operate it out of the box without the need for referring to the manual. One of the neater functions not mentioned in the description is the devices web administration feature. Once you have properly set this unit up to operate on your LAN, you can access its internal web server to control various functions and view the projected image remotely. Honestly, I found the web interface MUCH easier to navigate than the manual buttons on top of the unit or even using the remote control. It allows you to easily access features that are otherwise a pain to get to in the on-screen menu. One of the more interesting functions that you can access from this menu are settings to offset the projected color balance for various colored walls or projection surfaces. You can easily pick from a number of colors and the system will automatically adjust the picture accordingly. I havent seen this on any other model of projector I have run across to date. You can also use the menu to toggle between theater, presentation and video game modes to optimize your picture for whatever application you are using it for at the moment. The included remote is pretty basic and unfortunately also common to a number of different models made by Optoma. This results in some of the buttons having absolutely no purpose for the model you happen to have. Its a minor quirk, but I found it a little odd. About the only downside worth mentioning about this model is how incredibly hot it gets in such a short amount of time. While I did not have any problems with the unit overheating, it is definitely not something that would be comfortable to use in a small room without air conditioning. The plastic case means that you do not ever have to worry about accidentally touching it and burning your hands, but the smell of overheated plastic can be a bit intense the first couple of times that you use it. The admin interface has a "high altitude mode" that you can use to increase the speed of the fan and improve airflow. This keeps the unit cooler than normal, but at the expense of making a bit more noise. Speaking of noise, the internal 10W speaker is plenty loud for most circumstances. The sound quality is nothing to brag about, but its no worse than any other projector I have tested. If you want quality sound, you should use the audio output on the back to input into a quality stereo system. This is an absolute must if you are using it as part of a home theater system. Overall, this is a fantastic projector for the price. I would say that it is probably better suited for presentations than it is for home theater, but it does a more than adequate job at both. When you take into account the huge amount of light output, screen resolution and features this model is an absolute bargain and definitely holds its own weight against its brand-name competitors.
There are a lot of positives for this Optoma WU334 projector. Its quiet. Very bright. Lightweight. Projects a great 16:10 image for presentations. Has a storage/travel case. Long bulb life. Easy to set up. Two HDMI ports. Built in speakers. And many others. However, I would not recommend it for home theater use. It just is not designed for that. I called their sales department and they confirmed this. If you want a projector for home theater, choose a model that is designed for that purpose with 16:9 native resolution. Pretty straight forward. It will automatically scale to 16:9 but it looks over "processed" to me. I suppose if you didnt have anything to compare the WU334 to in a home theater environment, it might look pretty good. Color is great but it just doesnt have the detail that I am used to with a projector designed home theater use. Thats fine. They dont advertise or recommend it for that. It is not what this projector was intended to do. If you want bright, sharp graphics for presentations in 16:10 format and the other positives listed above, this may be just what you want.
I am primarily using this as an entertainment project and occasionally as a business projector. As an entertainment projector: * Very short throw - ability to project to a big wall in a short distance * Sound quality is pretty decent, you are better off buying one of those Anker speakers which will give the sound its needed boost * Wide connection options - Roku, Chrome, Amazon Fire stick all work As a business Projector: * Crisp and clear Text - good for presentations * Lots of connectivity options What I did not like: * No wireless options (you can use chromecast/roku/fire tv) - but no wifi inbuilt * Too bulky to carry I still feel that for a business projector, a portable operated LED projector is better off, this projector is heavier & bigger than a laptop - if you are ok with the size this is a great projector - truly awesome image/video
This has great BRIGHTNESS and works well indoors with many windows, and the lights on. Fan is somewhat loud if you are sitting closeby, otherwise you cant tell from across the room. Connected right to my laptop w/ HDMI and the image was superb. Didnt run the speakers through any tests so no comment there. Came with remote and a carry bag. Looking forward to using for some big meetings coming up this quarter as well as some outdoor family movie nights.
