I just replaced my Optoma HD33 with an Optoma HD143X. It's a really nice projector for $499. I have it ceiling mounted and I was able to use the existing ceiling mounting location to throw to my 160" screen. The zoom is very limited on the HD143X, but it worked out great for me. The new projector has very close mounting holes, but I was able to use the existing ceiling mount by adjusting the hanger plate and brackets. My old 3D glasses also worked with the new projector with the "DLP-Link" setting.

Hey in speaking of the inputs, all I have needed for years even on my TV's is just one HDMI. I run all my devices including an old school NES into the inputs of my AV receiver which has 7 HDMI inputs and you can get adapters for old outdated outputs like the NES. I also have a Harmony remote which allows me to hit one button to turn on the projector (which is hanging from the ceiling), turn on the AV receiver and set it to the correct input, and in my case role down the screen and turn down the lights. I say all of this just to say if are setting up a complete home theater then just having a couple of inputs or even one will not make that big of a deal. Also the fan sound will go away when you mount it on the ceiling and have surround sound.

I've had my Optoma HD142x for five years and I still love it, but a friend with a restaurant has offered to buy it from me so it might be time for an upgrade. And I'd welcome your reactions. I don't need SOTA performance because I use my projector mostly for old movies on my hard drive. I need fantastic blacks, good lumens and great colour. Partial to DLP. Gently used is obviously fine. But two wrinkles are that (1), I also use my 142 as my computer monitor, so a replacement that can't handle document projection is a no-go, and (2) I live in Cambodia, where both air conditioning and routine maintenance are tricky, so a machine prone to maintenance issues -- especially hot-temp shutdown issues -- is a non-starter. My local tech despises LCD technology -- he says that the first time you replace your bulb, you'll never get your brightness back. I don't understand how that can be, but I'd sure feel stupid if the same thing happened to me in nineteen months. TIA

I just bought the hd142x to replace my hd141x that was damaged in a storm. The 3D was amazing on the 141x, a much better experience than any other regular tv 3D I've ever had. I hope the 142x is as good for 3D.

Bought this projector to replace an older Panasonic I have. Disappointed and will be returning this one. First, very limited zoom with only a 1.1 zoom ratio. Second, it also lacks a manual image up/down or left/right shift. These two together give you very little ability to change your image size and direction. If you already have a screen, or a specific size and place you need to project to, you will have very little choice in where to place the projector. In other words, be prepared for very restrictive projector placement options which sort of defeats the purpose of having a projector. Also, mine arrived and when I tried to select the forward facing ceiling mount display mode it gave me the rear facing table mode instead. Went through all four display mode settings and none of them would produce a forward facing ceiling mount image. Finally, the fan was much louder than my Panasonic which was a bit distracting. While it does seem to have a decent picture for the money the other issues will cause mine to go back.

Hi! This is more than +200 bucks. This is about 4K, extra options, the confort inuilt techniques... I think that this is one of the best options: Buy a 142x, and 2 (or maximum 3 years) later just pick up a better projector around 800-1000 dollars for the next 5+ years. I have a 142x. And I gonan change it in 2020 or in 2021. And Than I have a 4k projector for 10 years. But til this time, the 142 is jsut perfect for me and for the rest of the family.

Awesome review! I'm going to be ordering one this week. I've been reading so many reviews and from what I see this is a great unit. My biggest concern was the rainbow effect. Out of about 300 reviews I saw only one that left a really bad review on the rainbow so I'm thinking they just got a bad unit. Have you tried the 3D on it?
@bobreed8936
7 жыл бұрын
Ryan Chavez I haven't tried the 3D yet. the rainbowing is noticeable mostly on white (and some other bright) parts of the screen, and really only if you are moving your eyes from one part of the screen to the other very quickly. Even with a 144 inch screen, I don't find that I need to move my eyes enough for that to matter

@betitos007

MrRgarcia112 - - 17 feet is a long distance from projector to screen. Since this projector has a limited zoom you will end up with a very large image, not sure what size you're wanting in your setup. If image is too big move the projector forward and it will become smaller. To watch cable just connect an hdmi cable from your cable box to the projector. You can also get an inexpensive a/v receiver and at least two speakers and connect all your devices like cable box, ps4, or dvd player through the receiver and one single hdmi out to projector.

I would say that the colors aren't as vibrant as a TV. I've noticed this in comparison to an older(09?) panasonic plasma TV that I have and a newer Visio LCD. As far as color deepness, its the panasonic plasma, vizio, and then the projector in my opinion. That being said, I watch the project mostly in a dark room, and at that point it's really not very noticeable

That really depends on how far away from the wall you can get it. In the room it's currently in...I could probably do 160". I can move the projector a foot back further before it reaches the wall. Right now it's almost exactly a 144" screen. ( I didn't do the math on how much larger the screen would be if I moved it back the extra foot, it's a guestimate)
