Optoma released the HD8200 model in Feb 2009. Incorporating the Texas Instruments 1080 DLP DMD chipsets, along with their PureMotion technology, this amazing home theatre projector box has recently made its impact in the market.

Optoma HD8200 has a high ANSI 680:1 measurement giving it a completely unique outlook. With its Brilliant Color Technology, along with the native contrast application, it offers its viewers a truly crystal clear picture. With its 6x wheel color, it doesn’t necessarily display an over bright color view, but an image which is sharp, clear and seems true to life. The PW9800 co-processor (pixelworks) and DNX Motion Engine technology helps to make the high digital video run smoothly with a non-noisy iris lens. Something unique about this projector is the presence of an extra removable remote at the back of the unit box. This serves as a backup remote incase the primary remote is misplaced.

The projector has a 220 Watt lamp which generates less heat in the room thereby creating nominal fan noise. It has two HDMI v1.3 with Deep Color, DVI w/HDCP, VGA, S-Video, Composite Video, Component Video, RS-232, +12V Trigger  ports allowing one to connect a multitude of sources. It’s compatible with the PC and Macintosh (supports multiple formats ranging from VGA to UXGA) and also all video formats (NTSC, PAL, SECAM, and HDTV).

The Optoma HD8200 has a street price of about $3,600. Its 3 year warranty is better than the industry average. The projector is not exactly light and weighs close to 17 lbs. Generally we seek to see a picture which displays a sharp and clear image, making the viewing pleasurable to our eyes. Too much brightness isn’t a necessity but having a projector which runs smoothly, without us fearing about it getting over heated, is what we need in our homes.
