Consumer Reports recommends that you match the features on a model to the needs you have. Here's
our take on some of the specifications and features that are commonly available on front projection TV
models like the DV10.
Zoom factor:
The zoom control allows you to grow the image size. The zoom factor specification indicates how many times larger the image can grow. A "2x zoom factor" for example tells you the image can be made two times larger.
About This Brand
While it doesn't offer any regular TV sets, Optoma is a leading brand in the front-projector market, especially in the lower-priced 1080p segment. In fact, the company has aggressively priced its DLP front projectors, and had introduced one of the first under-$1,000 1080p models. Optoma also sells an ultra-large (80 to 100 inches) DLP-based rear-projection TV series, called BigVision, through custom installers. This requires installation of an in-wall projector to project images on the rear of an in-wall display screen.

Strength
Excellent pictures even at daytime, mind blowing at night-time. Noiseless. Easy to use. Quality storage case. Portable, you can turn any wall into a screen at ambient lightening. No wiring needed.
Weakness
High throw angle but no problem at all when you are used to the adjustment.
This is a very under-rated projector either from ignorance or commercial interest. Like the Hyundai vercruz SUV which offers more at lower cost compared to Honda Pilot, Lexus, Infinity and other prizy SUVs, you need to personally try this projector or rely on reviews by users to know about its performance. Do not rely heavily on expert reviews. It is not widely advertised like the mainstream projectors but performs far and above more expensive projectors.This a very versilte projector at its best.I do not think it is available anymore. I do not know how good the newer DV 11 is. I got my DV 10 from circuit city on sale for $499 in 2007 with a free 92 screen and subwoover that gives a surround like effect. Priceless bargain. Has been my best purchase so far.
We bought this projector for outdoor movies. The projector will work great on the side of our house (siding) We get reasonable pictures 10-15 feet high and 25-40 feet wide. The speakers broadcast over 150 feet back. We watched
I don't watch TV a whole lot but LOVE movies. Before DVD was available I stock VHS movies and have over 1,000 movies. Later with DVD and copying softwares made available my DVD collections are rapidly climbing as well, of course I need a big screen to enjoy them!All the reviews I read about were highly recommended, especially the black being close to true black and HD compatible. I don't use the built-in player, rather I hook up my Toshiba player, which can up convert to 720P and plays avi files, thru my Denon 7.1 system with component and optical connections. The result is astonishing!!I especially like to watch music videos, concerts like Eagles or Andrea Bocelli are just unbelieveable! I use lower lumen, which gives longer bulb life, and have no problem seeing hairs, wrinkles, etc. details. Selectable screen sizes let you always play the correct ratio, unlike some wide screen TVs just don't display correctly.Not to mention the free 92 screen that came with it, well, I did have to wait for mail-in offer to get the screen 2 months later, but project movies on a blank wall was just as good, hardly noticed the difference.The only complain I have is the projector has to be placed low like seating height. I want to fully take advantage of the screen size but my room isn't deep enough for sitting behind the projector, so the projector ended right next to me. Since the exhaust is located to the left of the machine, if someone sitting on that side will be constanly blown with hot air. Of course I knew the low position before I bought it, so not too upset about it. Just wish it could be mounted higher though.
