Guide Review - Optoma H56 DLP video Projector - Short Review
In short, the DLP DDR (Double Date Rate) equipped Optoma H56 video projector, right out of the box, with minimal setup and adjustment, provides an excellent projected image of stunning detail and color accuracy. In addition, unlike many video projectors, there is no hint of annoying anomalies, such as green tinted blacks or overblown whites. Colors and shadows retain their intended characteristics even in the darkest scenes, while primary colors such as red and blue do not become overwhelming in bright scenes. Even though the H56 is a fully capable HDTV video projector, standard resolution 480i DVD images, through the S-Video connection look outstanding. I cannot say enough about the excellent performance of the Optoma H56.
