❮ ❯

The images above projected with the Optoma HD131Xe projector, and captured with a Canon 60D camera, are in order, from the new Victoria Secret Fashion Show, Billy Joel, something you see more and more of on Blu-ray discs, Taylor Swift (also from the Vic Fashion Show), and NFL football.

HD131XE Projector - Pros

• 

  Gandalf - The Hobbit

  Very bright projector suitable for less than perfect rooms

• Almost 1600 lumens calibrated - with Brilliant Color at maximum
• You can dial down Brilliant Color for a more natural picture, when you don't need maximum lumens
• 17ms input lag time is excellent for serious gaming
• Surprisingly good black level performance for an entry level priced 1080p home projector
• Respectable dark shadow detail
• Built in 10 watt speaker system is sufficient for most things, (although no substitute for a good surround sound system when watching movies).  Makes taking the projector with you on vacations, a lot easier
• Very smooth handling slow pans in movies
• Doubles as a perfectly respectable under 7 pound portable business projector
• Overall reasonable picture quality for an entry level, cross-over projector
• 3D capable, just add glasses (not included)
• Solid value proposition
