 SET-UP CORRECTLY ITS PERFECT December 7, 2008
Alistair Mccann (Northern Ireland)
Noticed a few reviews on here complaining that the image was too big! I have this projector mounted to my ceiling, about 10 feet from a 120" screen.
The Optoma shows exactly a 120" image onto this screen in 16:9 I & 16:9 II and in 4:3 native aspect.
There is a zoom function on the unit that you can turn to make the image smaller or bigger, to get the 120" image I have it set roughly in the center, if I turn it all the way up the image size is nearly 200"!!
Aswell as the manual zoom there is also a remote zoom built into the setup menu on the unit itself, this will increase that 200" to nearly 250" but this effects the picture quality.
I have used this to play DVD's, iPod, computers & game systems and it has never let me down, I even brought it into my local pub for the Euro cup final connected to a Sky box (you get a scart adaptor in the box) and it went down a storm.
To get the most out of this system you will need to buy a good screen, people say that a painted wall works but it just does not do colors any justice, yes it can work ok but to get the best color a screen is a must. I bought a 120" screen from Ebay for 85.00 it is wall or roof mountable and operates via remote control.
I also have the projector mounted upside down on the roof, it keeps it out of the way and means I dont have to keep putting it away after I finish using it.
I have 2 kids and they love it, watching films like Spiderman and Ironman look AMAZING on this, I have a 42" plasma in the other room attached to a Blue-Ray player that cost about 4 times as much as the projector and the kids would rather watch the cinema projector.
Easy set-up
Great Picture
Easy to use menu system
Huge image size (depending on your room)
Great sound from built in speakers
 I totally love this projector!!! November 20, 2008

I don't usually leave reviews but relied on them so much when purchasing this that I though I'd give something back.
I've used this to project on a white and a yellow wall and both have a great picture.
I dropped one star because as some other reviewers have commented there is an issue playing some DVDs and I'm still not sure why!?!?
Other than this the sound quality is good, the picture is good, there is very little noise from the fan and I can have cinema nights without spending a penny.
Cheers!
So easy, Granny could use it....... September 19, 2008

looked at loads of projectors, but the simplicity here was the winner. Point at wall, plug in, insert DVD, press play...........magic. At 6ft distance, got a decent sized picture, bigger than a LCD at double the price, quality was excellent and the room was in normal daylight hours. First film, Star Wars, like being back in the pictures all those years ago, and not a crisp packet in sight............heaven. Sound is great for such a small unit, fills the room with ease. Easy to store and with the included case, it walks round to my mates for the footie off his Sky. Cant find anything bad to say about it.
Fantastic home cinema effect on a budget July 8, 2008

We bought the DV11 projector after reading the other reviews on Amazon and discussing it with Optoma. It is great value for money - half the price of all other projectors we considered. From approximately 6ft away we can project onto calico coloured wallpaper and the picture quality is great with a widescreen size of approximately 6ft by 3ft. A surround sound system is not required in a 12ft by 12ft room but a subwoofer enhances the home cinema experience. For watching a DVD this really is an easy plug 'n' play projector that is ready to go.
SOUND: The VGA cable provided only transmits video so if you use it to connect the projector to another source, i.e. laptop, set top box, or video machine, you need an additional cable to transmit sound:
LAP TOP: In addition to connnecting a laptop to the DV11 using the VGA cable, use a Jack (black) to 2xRCA (red, white, male,) phono audio cable for sound.
SET TOP BOX: To transmit picture AND sound from a Virgin Media box that has a SCART socket use a different cable, e.g. "Philips SWV2255/10 A/V Connections Scart Cable - 1.5m" or "Hama 3 Phono to SCART Switchable cable, 1.5m". This type of cable will have a SCART plug for the set top box and 3 audio male plugs (red, white and yellow) for the DV11.
VIDEO: If the video machine has a SCART socket I guess it should be connected to the DV11 the same way as a set top box but I haven't tried it myself.
Excellent projector, but not quite perfect May 6, 2008

Beautifully sharp picture, lots of useful inputs and functions, though it lacks an HDMI input unfortunately. Allows the picture to be easily flipped upside down so you can mount the unit on a ceiling or wall mount and has vertical keystone adjustment - all from the remote control and it usefully remembers the settings after being powered down for weeks!
Marked down a star because the built-in DVD player is a consumer unfriendly region 2 only and it's far too fussy about the DVD's that it plays. It refuses to play DVD's that other region 2 or multi region players are happy with but fails to tell you what the problem is. Just projects 'STOP' on the screen (or wall) after a brief scan, then any keypress except eject results in "INVALID KEY" being displayed.
The lack of on-screen information regarding DVD problems combined with the region 2 nonsense lets down what is otherwise an excellent device.
