   What are the limits on projectors in angle to the screen? I am designing a house with a room 16’8″ wide with a vaulted ceiling and 9′ walls. I would like to use a projector and build a cubby for it either in the wall or in the vaulted portion. Given these dimensions, 16’8″ wall to wall and 9′ height, with possibly putting the projector higher in the vaulted portion, is this feasible? I would like to have the projector hidden.

   I love optoma, I have had my HD72 for over 3 years not one problem. Love Optoma a brand I trust…. Great picture you can get a picture with the quality Optoma provides unless you are willing to spend 3 times as much.

   @StarlightAU

   Thats the price you pay for a projector…. nothing like it though for that real movie experience you just can’t get on an LCD.

   @epapa2: Ideally, you could run one HDMI from the projector to a receiver. Then your receiver could have all our inputs.

   That’s correct. There is only one HDMI input. If you have multiple HDMI sources, we sell a basic 4×1 (4 inputs x 1 output) HDMI switcher for about $199.00. Call 1-888-686-0551 whenever you’re ready to order and we’ll walk you through your options.

   I have had Optoma projectors from the very first one that came out, never had an issue with any of the old or new models i have tested over the years, picture quality has always been great. No Complains on my end. Just because one of ur projectors may have broken down for whatever reason it is not grounds for saying that optoma has no good reputation. They are the first to come out with the new HD20 model for $999 in 1080p! What more can u ask for!

    I have the HD72 and would like to upgrade to a 1080p model, but the lamp life of the Optoma’s in general scare me.

    Optoma doesn’t have a good reputation? I would disagree with that 100%. I own numerous optoma HD71 projectors, they see lots of duty in outdoor environments, and not once have I had an issue with them.

    The build quality is good, the picture quality is excellent.

    Optoma doesn’t have a good reputation though. I had one and the projector failed 3 days of using it.
