The picture out of the box is OK. However, once projected on a gray projection screen to increase contrast (not white) and some minor color adjustments this projector comes to live when playing blue ray disks. Perfect picture !!Here are my adjustments made in the setup menu of the projector!My HD180 settings:Lamp: Bright Mode Off (still very bright even when off)IS : OffMode: CinemaGamma: FilmComponent 1080pContrast 48Brightness 40Color 53Tint 50Sharpness 9Advanced FilmGamma film, curve type -1, Offset 3RGBR gain -2G gain 0B gain -8R bias -6G bias -1B bias -5

My Qualifying statement; I have been a Home Theater enthusiast since 2005. Being on a budget I did a thorough back ground check & research with an established budget of $1500 for my first Home Theater I Began in 2005 with an InFocus 805 (resolution 800x600) for $800 and used my stereo for audio amp for cable and Xbox input (80" screen) nice. But in 2007 I decided to upgrade to HD (Affordable was the Mitsubishi HD1500 (720p resolution)) ($800) and added HD Sony 5.1 Surround Sound & Blu-ray (PS3) (100" screen) very good but now its finally to again upgrade in 2010 to FULL HD 1080p economically!!So for under $1000 my final pick was the OPTOMA HD180!!! This is the Best in its class and is totally unbelievable to watch using HD Cable, PS3 Blu-ray movies (Seeing AVATAR and White Christmas pure eye candy) with this projector. So fantastic you see the true beauty and clarity of color and details. Reading newspapers and finding details of scenes so captivating and wonderfully delicious. You are part of the movie experience!!!NOTE: ONLY THE IMAX EXPERIENCE EQUALS THIS VISUAL WONDERMENT NOW IN YOUR OWN HOME. I must say with Blu-ray, HD Cable, Gaming and SPORTS WoW!! The OPTOMA HD 180 is the ONE!!!!!!!!!ATTENTION: Remember this is HD HOME THEATER environment the bigger the picture (Up to 300") requires a darker room. (MY HD painted wall screen is 10 feet). After all this is a HOME THEATER. Now your Theater experience is better than the commercial experience, Believe me.Pros: Easy hook-up, 2 HDMI inputs (note; there is no audio input/output connector sockets this is a PROJECTOR ONLY!!!!!), 1 VGA for computer, 1 component for cable, component video. 4000 hours of lamp life in standard mode & 3000 in Bright. (NOTE: Keep your projector clear of obstuctions for good air flow. (My experience you can get over 5000 hours of lamp life keeping your unit in a clean and clear location. The longer the lamp life +4000 hours you can expect the lamp brightness to diminish.) Quiet unit and provides all video inputs!!! Using wall/wall mounted retractable screen requires no space loss for a multi purpose room. PURE EYE CANDY SAYS IT ALL!!!!!!!!Con: NOT 3D ready. Personally wearing glasses, buying a 3D Blu-ray player and 3D HD TV is not worth what is already available now!!!!!!! Maybe in 3 years when it has been simplified I'll re-visit this over-hyped gimmick.The picture is so clear, bright and the colors are fantastic!!! A Must Have Projector!! This is the one!!OPTOMA has done their homework and you won't be dissapointed. This completes my HD Home Theater Blu-ray / Cable / Video Game needs!! Enjoy.

I have had my own Home Theater for the last 8 years. I started with a Mitsubishi 480p, then upgraded to the Sony 720p, and finally came across this little gem of a projector that blew the others away. I mounted the Optoma HD180 on the ceiling and threw the image from 15 ft back on a 110" screen. The colors are brilliant, the hues are right on, and the image is unbelievable! Almost a plug-n-play type set-up. As far as the noise I have noted from others; no problem. One row of my theater seats are right under the projector and I never heard a fan noise until we powered the projector off. The bulb has lasted almost 3000 hours now and the image and colors are the same as when new. If you want the home theater experience but are on a limited budget, go buy one of these....right now!G.
