Optoma HD146X

Product Information

For a 100-inch projection size, you’ll need to put the projector at least 10.65~11.75 feet or (3.25 ~ 3.58m) away from the screen.

Setup is standard. The HD146X weighs only 6.2 pounds and measures 4.3 by 12.4 by 9.5 inches (HWD), making it easy to handle. Set it in place, adjust the manual 1.1x zoom, and focus. There's also a +/- 40 degree vertical keystone control to square off the image if you need to tilt the projector to aim at the screen. I set it up for a 90-inch image at 9 feet, 8 inches from the screen using the maximum zoom setting. Optoma projectors can display true 3D content from almost any 3D source, including 3D Blu-ray players, 3D broadcasting and the latest generation games consoles. Ideal for sports, movies and gaming, the Optoma HD145X delivers the thrills for when only the biggest screen will do.

In economic mode, the lamp's service life can be extended up to 10000 hours. The HD146X features a single 240W lamp for optimal brightness levels. This feature allows you to save your calibrated day and night mode settings for the highest possible viewing experience.

Vivid and Game modes are both brighter than Cinema, making them good choices for well-lit settings such as a room with lots of sunny windows. But dark scenes didn't have the same level of contrast or shadow detail as they did in Cinema mode, and color wasn't as accurate. For most projectors, the brightening effect of Game mode can help gamers spot objects or targets lurking in the shadows. But when I tested the HD146X, I found that the shadow detail and contrast in Cinema mode was good enough to serve this purpose—and, unlike Game mode, it kept all of the scene's dramatic visual impact.Getting the best from gaming, this projector features a special Gaming Mode. This optimises the projector's settings to give lightning fast response, maximum contrast and vivid colours, making gaming on the big screen even more involving.
