Optoma HD28DSE review

Advanced video processing creates unheard of Full HD detail on this budget beamer

Ground-breaking detail ; Excellent colour ; Backlit remote ; High volume speaker

Tricky set-up ; No lens shift levers ; Average black levels ; Noticeable rainbow effects

Is this the most detailed Full HD image from a budget projector? Absolutely. And that's all down to Darbee Visual Presence video processing tech, though this single-chip DLP beamer lacks the tools for an easy set-up.

Optoma HD28DSE

The Optoma HD28DSE 1080p home entertainment projector is small, light, inexpensive, and delivers reasonably good image quality for 2D and 3D.

Small and light. Full 1080p resolution in 2D and 3D. Two HDMI connectors, one with MHL. Built-in speaker.

Shows rainbow artifacts in video testing.

Optoma HD28DSE DLP Projector Review

Today I'm checking out the very first projector to include DarbeeVision processing. It's the Optoma HD28DSE, a compact DLP with 3000 lumens, 3D and a low purchase price.

Darbee processing seamlessly integrated ; Tons of light output ; Accurate color ; Flexible calibration controls ; Sharp picture ; Compact and portable ; Terrific value ; Lens shift ; Dimmer remote backlight ; Better black levels

Lens shift ; Dimmer remote backlight ; Better black levels

THE OPTOMA HD28DSE is a fantastic value and the first display of any kind to include Darbee Visual Presence processing.

Good projector, great Price

Staff at Boscombe demonstrated the projector and allowed me to project from my windows laptop, my iPhone and iPad, all worked well. This projector has 'DARBEE' to enable HDMI images to be colour corrected.

Good...with a couple of flaws.

Bought this after owning an HD20 for years. Finally gave up the ghost and I wanted something brighter as the room my projector sits in is quite bright. This totally out shines the HD20, on a bright day you hardly notice any fading of the picture with...
