Optoma HD66 720p DLP Home Theater Projector

The HD66 is a bright little package, rated at 2500 lumens maximum. Now, the HD66 is marketed as a 720p projector, since that is the maximum resolution at which it can display 3D content. However, it has a 1280x800 DLP chip, so not only can it display native HD 720p, but it can also display computer signals in 1024x768 and 1280x800 without compression as well. It will display HD 1920x1080p/60 in compressed form. It cannot display 24p natively, but it is sometimes difficult to tell the difference between 60p and 24p even on native 1080p projectors.

Optoma HD8600 1080p Home Theater Projector

The HD8600 has a very bright cinema mode. In fact, it has one of the brightest Cinema modes we've seen thus far; the only thing that even comes close is the LG CF181D at 1219 lumens. The HD8600 is a great choice for large-format cinema.

The HD8600 defaults to Cinema 2 mode, which entails a few things. First of all, the lamp defaults to Eco-mode (called "Standard" on this projector, as opposed to "Bright"). Second, there is a manual iris, and it defaults to position 6 of 8, which is mostly open. Third, these measurements were taken with the projector's "Standard" lens, which is a 1.25:1 manual zoom model, in the widest position.
