Optoma HD32 Projector Review

Best Settings For Optoma HD32

noreply@blogger.com (Jeff) — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 06:17:00 +0000

After a year of trying all settings I find these to be the best.

RED Gain=6, GREEN Gain=5, BLUE Gain=6

RED Bias=-14, GREEN Bias=-12, BLUE Bias=-13

Cinema mode and Film degamma...
Brilliant Color=4
True Vivid=0 or 1, whatever you like best
Color temp.=2

I use a 101" white blackout cloth screen and my basic settings are...
Contrast=12
Brightness=1
Color=0
Tint=0
Sharpness=11...eleven may seem high but I found that setting it high seems to give me much better detail than setting it to 0...I found this out by trying different sources of up close face shots while in pause...just try it yourself and see what you think.

I used a universal projector mount from http://www.mountdirect.com/PMS_Projector_Ceiling_Mount_p/pms.htm the PMS Series Projector Ceiling Mount. Got it for $39.95 it also comes with a free extension kit. It looks like and off brand but the build quality was very solid. I choose the white version to better match the Optoma HD32 projector better. It was universal mount but did not list the Optoma HD32 instead it listed its clone HD70 since there the same projector I just bought it. Low and behold it fit perfect I guess thats even a little more proof the Optoma HD32 is just a reapakaged Optoma HD70.

To see what kind of quality I could achieve from projector I wanted to test some of the inputs out. I have a Macbook Pro Hooked upped with DVI to HDMI connection the macbook pro recognized the Optoma HD32 right away. The colors seemed a little different from the my HD DVR through HDMI but a little tweaking fixed that. I also have Xbox 360 hooked upped vie VGA input. That also looks great.
