Optoma RD50A

 

While we liked its thin-bezel design and comprehensive image-scaling options, the Optoma RD50A disappointed us with its poor color accuracy and ineffective menu system.

Attractive design. HD content appears crisp. Comprehensive image-scaling options.

Poor color accuracy. Slow, obstructive menu system.

SUPERB WITH DVD, THE BEST I HAVE SEEN.

 

I have to say I am very happy with this TV, the only shortcomings I would say are ones that I only noticed after reading a few forums on the issue namely the judder when viewing NTSC DVD's. I checked using Hellboy R1 and set my DVD player to output...

The best picture I have ever seen on any TV, and I did look at a lot of substantially more expensive units ; Actually "small" for a 50 inch non plasma

On the factory settings (eye meltingly bright) I notice rainbows although my wife did not until I showed her how to. Especially on scenes with high contrast i.e. reflections of Darth Vaders helmet ; The rainbows pretty much went away for me when I did...

Hey, even if the picture is good quality, if the sound quality is poor it's not worth it. This TV doesn't offer Auto sound leveling. You know when the TV show you are watching goes to a commercial, and then all of a sudden your being drowned out by the...

OPTOMA stands by their product

 

After reading these reviews, I felt disheartened when my 2nd RD65 went crazy. The first was replaced after 9 months do to some wierd electrical mal function without any issues. The second one, after a year and five months, the color engine began ...
