Performance

 

Optoma H78DC3

Excellent value; deep blacks with plenty of shadow detail; sharp high-def images; solid video processing with 2:3 pull-down; vertical lens shift.

PS. Strangely, in Europe at least, there is a different version of the H78 - it lacks the DC3 (DarkChip3 marking, and has the older HD2+ processor inside. Why the US is getting the higher performance version, I can't answer, but hopefully for the rest...

Optoma H78DC3 DLP Home Theater Projector Review: Overview

 

So far, I don't think you can find another projector that can rival Optoma's H78DC3 for anywhere near the price.

DarkChip3 provides great black levels and excellent shadow detail

Out of the box, the projector needs calibration.
