Killzone 2 Demo HD65 Projector

If you are looking for a projector to play video games like Killzone 2 , or watch movies on, and are on a budget, you might want to look at the Optoma HD65 Projector. Make sure to watch in High Quality, and obviously because of video compression, and the fact that I literally recorded this video straight off my wall, the image looks many times better in person. Feel free to post any questions you may have if you are interested in buying one of these projectors and I will try and respond back quickly if I can answer it for you.

I am pretty much set on this projector but what else do you need? I already have a PS3, do you think a projector screen is necessary?

Also what do you need for sound and how much does the sound equipment cost?

Any additional cables needed??

@juvenil6969 I don't use a screen, so you can get by without one as long as you have a good wall to project on.

You will need some sort of sound system, and I'd recommend getting a surround sound system that fits with your budget (you can get one for between $100-$300) and you'll need a digital optical cable to plug your PS3 into the surround sound system.

Otherwise, I use HDMI to plug my PS3 into the projector, and that's all you really need.

Do you have any problems with overheating or anything like that?

@soulweaponry It does get very hot, but I haven't had it malfunction due to the heat before. I have on the other hand, had my bulb blow up after about 10 months and 500 hours of use. I called Optoma and they replaced the bulb for no charge even though it was well out of warrant.y Since I got my projector back from them, it seems like it runs cooler, so if you had any problems with it, they might fix it for free.

I play killzone 2 on CRT projector with HDFury adapter to send hdmi out to analogue via vga. picture is good. at 725 lumens 120 inch or less is ideal. if u try 200 inches like i did, any black detail is gone. CRT doesn't block light like bulb units so you get better blacks and contrast.

i have electric 120 inch screen but don't use it, no room at the oment.

10000 hours and still going strong.

when i get my ps3bck i'll post a video.

@t3hmauler Cool thx for the quick reply. As I said on my other post I am going to get the Logitech Z5500 surround sound system as I have already heard it in action and it is immense

[juvenil6969]

@DEEZY79999 lol its funny you should say that because im probably going to get the Logitech Z5500 as someone i know has it and the power is AMAZING. Its a desktop system but due to its power its more than adequate for home cinema also. So excited!

@No3225 Not really, the only thing is that because the projector is so bright, that it reflects off my wall a lot. For example, playing Modern Warfare, if someone hits you with a flash bang, it actually brightens up the entire room and can actually be a little bit hard on your eyes. Other than that, it's not really any different than a TV or a Monitor, it's just a lot bigger.

@No3225 as far as I can tell, you can't set the refresh rate independently, it is done automatically. Mine runs at 60Hz on 720p and when receiving a 1080p signal, if that helps.

[t3hmauler]

@No3225 The refresh rate is 43-120 Hz. I haven't really had noticable problems with lag after playing a lot of online games.
