Review: One problem I have is that I use this primarily from behind the couch, at about eye level. At this particular height (probably the least common), the image is projected too high for the space I want it in. The instructions say the project has to be fairly level when in operation (I think the allowable angle change from level is +/-15°). So basically it has to be at coffee table height or hanging from the ceiling. Bluetooth audio capability would have been nice. A larger range of screen sizes via the zoom function would have been helpful. More input options would have been nice too...it only has 1 HDMI port and nothing else. There is a USB power OUT port, but not sure what I would use that for...I tried to use it with a USB-powered JBL speaker, and a loud piercing noise was observed. Overall, though, I love it. The screen is fairly bright even during the day. I am currently projecting on a non-prepped, light gray wall until a permanent solution is decided upon, and I am still amazed at the quality of the image. I may do nothing further as far as the 'screen' is concerned. My main reason for selecting this model was its 3D capability. It's outstanding, at least to my eyes. Again, I am projecting onto a light gray wall--I was wondering if the 3D would work at all but it does, fabulously. It has 2 3D modes (i forget what the second one is) but I use DLP Link mode and DLP Link glasses that I bought here at desertcart: -DLP Link 3D Glasses, ELEPHAS 144Hz Rechargeable Active Shutter Eyewear for Most DLP-Link 3D Projectors- Acer, ViewSonic, BenQ Vivitek, Optoma, Panasonic, Dell, Viewsonic (4 Pack) In case you were wondering, 3D DLP Link glasses sync with the images on the screen by a nearly invisible (to naked eyes) rapid white flash embedded in the 3D video. These should not be confused with 3D DLP glasses (similar name but without the 'LINK') which require an IR emitter pointed at the viewers to sync the glasses for proper 3D viewing.
Review: Excellent..Worth the money spent.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do I get rid of overspalsh?**
A: The shadow border around the projected image from the Optoma HD143X is inherent to the architecture of the new DMD chip used. It is not noticeable when used with a projection screen with black frame and does not affect picture quality. These projectors display high-quality 1080P resolution and will perform as expected. If you have any further questions, please contact Optoma technical support at 888-289-6786 Option 2 Monday - Friday 6 AM - 5 PM PST for further assistance.

**Q: I am planning on a 10 ft wide x 9 ft high screen.  Will this projector work for me? It is going to be used for both golf simulator and movies.**
A: I have 120 in diagonal. its bout 11 ft back and it doesnt get the whole screen. It probably gets btwn 100 and 110 in

**Q: What is the best way to hook up a sound bar? quality wise.**
A: Unless you can hide what would be a very long audio wire, using a Bluetooth connection from the audio source is the best idea.  I generally watch movies using my iPad and connect audio via Bluetooth and have had no problems.

**Q: Which sound  accessory would you use with this when projecting  outside**
A: A fire stick with 2 echo studios and an echo sub works amazingly. The sound is portable and awesome.

Produto de qualidade, mas não vem com manual, cabo HDMI, capa... fabrica deveria ter um cuidado maior, já que trata-se de algo tão caro.
