Optoma HD50 review
The Optoma HD50 produces a bright, punchy picture but does it deliver big-screen thrills?
Punchy, bright picture ; Vibrant colour palette ; Crisp detail ; Compact build
Rivals are more subtle ; Remote control has lag issues ; 3D flickers ; No built-in speakers
It’s not the perfect home cinema experience, but there’s plenty to like about the Optoma’s rich, bright and colourful approach

Optoma HD50 review
The astounding Optoma HD50 makes hi-def projection cool again
Razor-sharp 1080- pictures ; No overt DLP rainbow effect ; Plug and play simplicity
3D an optional extra ; No onboard sound system ; At 29dB it's not the quietest
