4 out of 5 stars Meeting Magic   June 5, 2008
We are promoters of a national/world level bicycle race. We have to give training programs to large numbers of public safety personnel and to hundreds of volunteers. The Optima EP 749 Multimedia Projector met all of our needs.


2 out of 5 stars Poor color depth   May 19, 2008
I've seen many images on many different media projectors, and the Optima projector is just, well, flat.

The color lacks depth, leaving presentations lackluster and media showings sad.

When I contacted Optima customer support, their answer was "This is a data projector and it doesn't give true color." I don't need true color, but every other projector I've seen gives better color.

I'm not happy with it, but for now I'm stuck with it.



4 out of 5 stars Good entry level   November 4, 2007
  5 out of 6 found this review helpful

I bought this product at Best Buy. It seemed to be the best as far as resolution and still below $1000. They call it a data projector, but in fact I use it for movies and the like. DVDs play with good clarity on a typical DVD player. Settings for the computer require some adjustment. It does get a bit grainy watching mpg quality video. It seems to be better for a ceiling mount due to the projection angle. The product is impressive, but not over impressive for what is on the market today.
