HZ40HZR Compact Laser Gaming and Home Theater Projector

Everything is great, with one common objection. Very limited zoom. Expect a need to move the projector to fill the screen, zoom alone won't do it. The first time we used it for a broadcast Packer game, the image was very good, assuming it's dark outside. Inside with smaller screens room light on will still give a good image. Videos with motion images are clear. The inside speaker is not up to NFL standards, but we used a TV turner box and ran the audio through a speaker bar. In the picture, the far screen is about 17 feet wide in the center of the driveway.

I have purchased a variety of projectors over the last decade. DLP, LCD, every type of display and lumens etc. after reading the reviews, I realized this unit had no complaints similar to any of my previous units. If you want the best picture, flexible mounting options and don’t care about having frills like AI auto focus and keystone correction etc., I doubt you’ll find anything near this good for under $1000.00. Nothing but Laser for me now! Buy it!

Didn't work bad pictures

Works as intended, bulbs life span is a little too short, and keystone affects picture quality too much

I replaced my old Optoma projector. After many years, it finally stopped working even after the gentle bump here and there. I replaced it with this unit and I am very satisfied with the quality of the image. It is brighter than the old one and handles 4K. Compared with other projectors that may cost 2 or 3 times more, it delivers! For the price of the other projectors, I can buy one for my movie room and one for my garage. Smart!

I purchased two Optima projectors: one short throw and one regular that sits at the back of the room. I like both and think they perform well. However, if you’re not willing to spend time on setup or aren’t comfortable with the process, I wouldn't recommend buying them, as setup can be complex and labor-intensive. For example, the regular projector initially produced a very dark image, making it hard to see anything. I almost returned it, but after trying various configurations, I found a small setup dial that I need to adjust each time I turn on the computer, because it doesn’t remember the setting. Even though I can save settings on the computer, I have to reset the projector each time to increase brightness enough to see the screen. It's not a huge issue, and everything works fine, but it's a bit annoying to go through this every time. If you’re experienced with setup and understand the process, you'll likely enjoy figuring it out.

Great value for money

Works no problem even with lights on or during the day in my living room, very clear and easy to set up. Bought this to replace an optima DLP that would go through a bulb about twice a year, even with a brand new bulb this thing is way brighter then the optima very happy with it so far
