Optoma HD81
QuickTake:
Pros: Accurate color decoding for both SD and HD sources, very good video processing with included external processor; more connectivity than nearly all competing projectors.
Cons: Poor gamma and grayscale tracking at high light output settings; very little flexibility for setup and installation; no vertical lens shift.

Review: Optoma HD81-LV
Comments:
This full-HD DLP light cannon offers a generous spread of inputs, but fails to sizzle in terms of visuals and installation flexibility.
Review Verdict: Although a good performer if you use it with a relatively small screen, the Optoma HD81-LV 1080p DLP projector is overly complex and difficult to set up and install.

Optoma ThemeScene HD81
Comments:
This is the projector that home cinema fans in the know have been holding out for - it's the first (relatively) affordable DLP model to use a genuine 1080p chipset.
Review Verdict: This is one of the highest-specified projectors available. The HD81 twinset is a must-see attraction

QuickTake:
Pros: This is one of the highest-specified projectors available and there's no denying its fabulous performance with 1080i material.
Cons: Niggles like the optical lens shift could make it look as if the HD81 was hurried to market

Test Bench: Optoma HD81 1080p DLP Front Projector
Comments:
The Optoma showed a slight amount of color decoder error (-5% green) via both its HDMI and component-video inputs. Color points were very accurate - a factor that, along with the projector's precise color decoding, contributed to its rich, well-saturated
Review Verdict: At $7,000, the Optoma HD81 1080p DLP front projector is an undeniably great deal. Its setup features are somewhat basic, and the Auto Iris feature is, unfortunately, a work in progress that Optoma claims will be fixed with a firmware upgrade.
