BenQ MP610 MP 610
Optoma EP716
DELL 2300MP DLP


any info would be greatly appreciated. do to the fact that i dont know much about them...

Check out the Optoma H31. It's a DLP native 16:9. Has HDMI & RBG inputs. It does many things well for the price.

I just picked up a Optoma EP716 for $529. It needed little adjusting out of the box to get the color right to my eyes.
Can't figure out the optical zoom though. It seems to only change the image size 5-10%.
In order to get the projected image small enough I'll need to mount the projector in front of me. Not possible here.

Is this normal for the EP716?

I can't find any info on this thing. Included CD manual sucks.
I have 12 days to return it if It won't project the image size I need.

Anyone else have a EP716?

If your budget was in the $500-700 I definitely consider the IN72 as the others you mentioned are either pro-business or business/some-ht pjs
