Optoma HD141x HD / Full 3D

[n_sachin84]

The Rainbow Effect often referred to as RBE, is a stroboscopic affect that has some people seeing flashes of red green and blue. This is caused by the eye/brain dealing with the effects of projectors using high speed, spinning, color filter wheels. Most color wheels have Red, Green, Blue, and sometimes a clear area, some others add yellow, and others due all six primary and secondary colors (red, green, blue, cyan, yellow, and magenta).

Since a color wheel is needed for this to occur, the only types of projectors affected are DLP projectors, since they are single chip devices, and require a color wheel to add color. The other two major projector technologies are LCD and LCoS, both of which use three chips (or more technically correct three panels). There are 3 chip DLP projectors, which have no color wheels, but they start around $10,000 US.

Rainbow effect is most visible when bright white areas move quickly across a very dark background, or the other way around. The presence of white or near white is necessary to get the full effect. If for

Friends, I have to buy power cord for Optoma HD141x. No idea which one to go for. The cord which came along with the projector is too short, in order to avoid electrical wiring/setup, I think buying a 5m power cord will be better. Will ANY Desktop CPU power cord fit into Optoma? Please help..

thanks for all the info guys.

I'm currently using the benq w1070 since a year and I'm pretty satisfied with it.
Now, I'm planning to get the 141x for my uncle. but looks like both amazon and newegg are not providing shipping to India for this model.

I checked ppobox.com and they are charging about 10k for shipping and customs from USA to India. So, it is somewhat cheaper.

Are there any advantages w.r.t returns/exchange when amazon/newegg ship the item directly, as opposed to getting it shipped through 3rd party couriers?

Incorrect. they both povide the shipping to india. One friend of mine got it from amazon and another from new egg. 141x only. Please recheck your info.

Sorry friend I barged in to your thread but I am in to desperate need of help.i had posted my problem in separate thread but didn't get a single response and seen many knowledgeable members on projectors in this thread so thought if someone wI'll able to help.
Friends I had purchased my optoma HD25e from Amazon. Com in July but my home interior was going on so didn't check. Recently my home interior was over and I had setup my HT system( I had posted the pics also in this forum ). It was working fine and happy but 2 days back when I switched on the power the light turned to green from red and it's constantly blinking. Nothing else is happening no lamp light nothing it just keep on blinking green after some time red light and amber light appears and amber light blinks constantly.
Pl help as I had hardly used this projector (only 2 movies ).I contacted Amazon through mail and they had given me a mail id of optoma head of indian operation. I contacted him through mail but he just replied they can not support Amazon. Com purchase as they didn't buy from india.
Pl need help now what to do or someone had faced similar kind of problem and solution.
Sorry once again and thanks in advance.

I meant at this moment.

Has anyone had any experiences dealing with amazon/newegg for return or exchange?

You are right they are no longer shipping the model to India. Earlier they were but in the last few days this model is no longer shipping to India which is unforunate cause I too was planning on ordering it.

Coming to the returns with Amazon, well it is perhaps the only truly customer oriented company in the world. It's returns policy is probably the very best and so is its customer care and problem handling. However, I am not sure how things will work out when a third party is involved in the deal. What I do know from experience is that these sites take rather long to deliver and until the stuff is received by them and listed on their page you would have no idea of its whereabouts which can be a little unnerving.

So, that's all I can share with you mate. Hope it is of some help.

9 pages and still no pictures of the projector in action... in the middle it went deviated to some other topic.

Come back to original topic pls...

 

[sameuun]

mine is yet to come live as renovation is still on progress,

 

[CANDUU]

As you asked i am posting @ premblr, my house is also under renovation ,this picture was taken projecting it to a wall painted in ivory color.pq is awesome.

 

[n_sachin84]

more detailed review plz

 

[sridhar78]

Hand carried this projector from the US this week.

Picture quality is really impressive even with bright lights on.
Also, not too much sound when the projector is ON.
Only thing I noticed is it gets quite hot. Is this normal? Did any other buyers notice this?

 

[dheerajjotwani]

Joined the club too... mine came in with a friend this week carried in from US. Now the hunt for a 8ft x 4.5ft motorised screen

 

[donjasjit]

Hi guys, just ordered this projector on Amazon. I need some opinions, I don't want the clutter of the receiver and surround sound speakers with wires inter crossing all about.

As an alternative, a good headphone set, for night viewing and what about daytime viewing, what would you suggest.

Another thing, if something goes wrong, are there repair shops or company service centers to handle it. I live in Chandigarh.

I know bulb replacement is a long way away, but when that stage comes how much will it cost, and is it a difficult process.

 

[yusuf]

any feedback on fan noise?

 

[dheerajjotwani]

Fan nose is there but bearable. Once it's ceiling mounted, that should get taken care of

 

[htfan17]

Got mine too. I have zero experience. this is my first PJ but said that, absolutely amazing Quality, somthing i never believed a projector could achieve over TV. Now I understand why 1080p was made and how it should be truly experienced. I am primarily using to play my Blu ray disc collection of around 40 discs. IMAX 3D Bds also rock on this more than expected. And Cinema mode is the most satisfying mode.

Since my experience is limited, before i get down to slowly jotting down details for my own review, members with any kind of questions, plz post here and I ll answer them to as much detail and as quickly as i can.
