I'm always pleased when Optoma shows off new products, and it's used CEDIA this year to do just that.
As well as the HD82 HD projector which launched in the UK in February, Optoma showed off its new sub-£900 HD20, high-spec ThemeScene HD86, plus a sneak peek at Optoma's new state-of-the-art 3D projectors.
HD20
The HD20 is a full 1080p DLP projector but at economy prices. It features 1,700 ANSI lumens brightness, 500:1 ANSI contrast ratio, balanced colour rendition, 29dB noise level, two HDMI inputs and filter-free no maintenance design.
Granted, in some settings it won't be powerful enough but it's fine for use in rooms with some ambient light. Optoma also guarantees that image and colour quality will remain as new for at least five years.
Available from July priced around £900.
ThemeScene HD86
Optoma's ThemeScene HD86 DLP projector is also full 1080p HD and features complete lens options and shift for easier installation.
It has a 700:1 ANSI contrast ratio and 1,600 ANSI lumens of brightness, Puremotion2 technology to eliminate motion judder and blurring, 29dB noise level, two HDMI inputs and filter-free no maintenance design.
The HD86 should be available in August priced around £4,999.
3D projectors
Details of the 3D projectors are extremely sketchy, except to say that Optoma expects them to be launched later this year. More details as soon as we get them.
This morning I went to see a demonstration about optoma HD-86 and I liked it, it is very much better than the HD-82,and while I was browsing this website I read in this article that it is going to be launched an optoma 3D,am I right?
If I buy the HD-86 can I see 3 D movies or is going to be launched another projector in 3D ? What about the 3D glasses ? it is going to be like the one that is used for the movie JOURNEY TO THE CENTRE OF THE WORLD,red and green? because when I used it it wasn't good I didn't see anything. I would like you to answer me about I told you in this email,so than I will know what I have to buy.My email:dreammaker@onvol.net
Thankyou
