Review: Viable 1080p projector - I’ve gone through a gamut of projectors over the years starting around 2018 and have found Optoma to strike the chord of affordability and quality. With that said, this model, the HD146x has a clear, accurate picture, definitely full high definition image. I had been reluctant to upgrade to 1080p since my 720p Optoma had been doing me good for years. But, for a good price I got the 146x and I can definitely see an increase in clarity from 720p. Image is bright and brilliant in moderate lighting even while the projector is set to eco mode. There isn’t much menu settings to tinker with color profiles and such. I’m trying to dial in the contrast and brightness ratio on my set up. One thing I do not prefer is the dynamic black setting. I think it tries to adjust for white and dark images from scene to scene. But i think its unnecessary. Brightness and contrast looks fine without that option on. When on i think it makes the projector work harder as the fan revs up when bright scenes appear. Without the option on the fan remains nearly inaudible in eco mode and dynamic black off. This model is rather large compared to my previous 720p optoma model. The plastic housing doesn’t feel durable either. While running the projector, the plastic housing definitely becomes hot to the touch. The glossy finish on the top easily becomes scratched and smudged. All in all, I don’t see this model as practically portable. At 11.5 feet i am able to get about an 82 inch wide image. Overall, for the price point this is definitely a high quality product if you’re looking for a full HD projector. Image does not disappoint. Live TV, sports events, movies and video games all look great and perform and play well.
Review: 10/10 great value - Love this projector use it Dailey and all the time had it for a couple years now best bang for the buck everyone that comes over for movie night says it makes them want one. I project onto a white wall. Image is sharp clean and detailed I use a sound bar and other external speakers: I do wish the sound would connect Bluetooth but even with a adapter it delays sound but I solved with using kind hdmi cables for the price and quality I would give this projector a 10/10

## Questions & Answers

**Q: 3d Glasses the this projector support DLP**
A: Yes. Please make sure your 3D glasses use DLP-Link 3D before enjoy your video.  If you have any further questions, please contact Optoma technical support at 888-289-6786 Monday - Friday 6 AM - 5 PM PST for further assistance.

**Q: Does the lamp-free laser 4000 lumens/4k hdr output  to true 4k?**
A: No, it downscales to 1080p (though still looks great). However, it does take advantage of the HDR color abilities that 4K provides. That last feature is why accepting a 4K input is important, even if it's downscaled.

**Q: The osd color on mine hz39hdr would changed from white to yellow back and forth while using a blue-ray player and srgb image. is it a problem ?**
A: Dear Optoma Customer,

It sounds like you may be experiencing some technical issues, please contact Optoma technical support at 888-289-6786 Monday - Friday 6 AM - 5 PM PST for further assistance.

Sincerely,
Optoma Support.

**Q: My hd39darbee lens is blurry now that i've cleaned it.  appears to have a delicate coating on it. any issues with this model?**
A: I do not have any issues

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great projector. Love the 3D. Lacking a few options but great overall.
*by B***S on February 4, 2024*

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 Amazon: -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.
