Optoma TX762 3-D DLP Projector. It's got a lot to like
as a home theater projector. With 4000 lumens of light output at a
3000:1 contrast ratio it'll create sharp, vivid images in the brightest
of rooms (although it's always better to turn down the lights.)
It's got an HDMI input so Blu-ray discs and high definition TV shows
will stay in full digital audio and video from their source to the
TX762. And it can run the gamut of 720p, 1080i and 1080p HD signals.
If you're one of our many international customers or you just travel
overseas a lot you'll be happy to know your TX762's international
credentials are impeccable. It handles video signals in the NTSC, NTSC
4.43, PAL B, D, G, H, I, M, N and SECAM B, D, G, K, K1, L variations.
It's got a 100 � 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz auto switching power supply. And
its OSD (on-screen display) offers you a choice of 23 languages.
So you're wondering. How could this not be the perfect home projector?
The listing even says it does 3-D! Well that's what we need to talk
about. Your TX762 will definitely project in 3-D. The usual provisos
apply: Your TV has to be 3-D compatible; you have to get compatible
glasses and your own 3-D programming.
But your TX762 will not project 3-D HDTV shows or 3-D Blu-ray discs in
3-D.
But what other kind of 3-D is there, you ask. Lots, all developed for
the educational and corporate markets�lessons on almost every subject
and 3-D design, modeling and visualization programs, all developed for
the PC and Mac.
So you see, your TX762 really is a fine home projector, as long as you
don't care about 3-D TV and 3-D Blu-ray discs. And right now a lot of
people don't care about 3-D. Only the high-end TVs can do 3-D; 3-D
images bother some people after prolonged viewing and you may have
other things you'd rather spend your money on. (But don't tell the kids
3-D games should work just fine on the TX762.)
We feel a lot better now that you know all the facts. The TX762 has
other great business and education-oriented features. Its remote
control has a laser pointer built-in and if you connect the included
USB cable to your computer, the remote can even work as a wireless
mouse.
The TX762 also has an RJ45 (Ethernet) port and its own built-in web
pages for remote management. And you can lock the control panel so only
the remote control will work the projector plus there's physical
security too.
