Optoma, “The Projector Expert” has sent us their HD33 projector to review. The HD33 is listed as their mid-level projector which runs a price tag (at the time of this review) of $1,500.00 USD. The HD33 has some note worthy features that are just simply awesome, such as full 3D capable at 1080P resolution being the main attraction. We took the HD33 for an extended time frame test because of this and really regretted having to return it. There is nothing like watching a tour of Cape Canaveral’s vehicle assembly building in 3D while being projected on the side of the house. So let’s dive into what the Optoma HD33 has to offer, other than giving you the nearest thing to a “Handheld Portal Device, by Aperture Science.” Of course the HD33 from Optoma is not handheld and at a price tag of $1,500 is a projector you’ll likely not carry around a lot. The features such as 1080p and 3D are quite impressive, but adding that to the ability to project up a 300” screen, now that is just awesome! There are screens which are reasonably priced for the home entertainer’s budget.
Few projectors leave me feeling as ambivalent about them as the Optoma HD33 ($1,500 street) does. On the one hand, I love it. It's an impressive projector at a bargain price, with 1080p resolution in 2D and 3D and superb image quality. On the other hand...well, it shows rainbow artifacts, the little red-green-blue flashes that single-chip DLP projectors tend to show when light areas move on screen. If you can ignore the rainbows (and people who aren't sensitive to the effect can), it's a slam dunk winner. If you see them as easily as I do, however, it's an impressive choice, but one that you should approach cautiously. In some ways, the Optoma HD33 is following in the path of the Optoma HD20 ($1,000 street, 3.5 stars) that I reviewed two years ago. When the HD20 was introduced, it dropped the entry-level price for 1080p significantly, making HD projectors far more affordable. The HD33 does much the same for 3D 1080p projectors, which until now have been in the range of $3,000 and (mostly) up. Both the HD20 and HD33 fall in the same budget home theater category as the Editors' Choice Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 8350 ($1,299 direct, 4 stars).
