Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-30 Summary: Bargain buy, AWESOME picture ... I've been an LCD flat panel fan since they first came out, but I wanted something for a media room in my house that the previous owners finished out and was just wasting away. What better than a 92-inch screen? Found it with the Optoma HD20. Awesome picture for the price of a 50 inch 720p plasma, and this is 1080p! I am very pleased. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-25 Summary: Dedicated home theater room projector ... I performed a ceiling mount installation with a 13' throw which produced a 115" 16:9 screen. What can I say, it's beautiful, bright even with a fair amount of room lighting, colors are wonderful, quiet, and doesn't seem to have issues with a 25' hdmi connection. I thought hard about a mitsu or epson projector of similar image quality ratings but after reading some of the early bulb blowing stories I'm happy I went with this Optoma HD20. Best on the market for under $1500 if you ask me. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-09 Summary: Are you kidding me? AWESOME!!!! ... This thing is an AMAZING value. I ordered the Optoma HD20 on Wednesday night with free super saver shipping and the thing arrived on Friday morning! I popped this thing out of the box and put it on the universal projector mount that the previous owner had left on the ceiling of our house. I then hooked up the HDMI input to our HDDVR cable box and WOW! The picture quality for under $1000 is amazing! It takes a few minor adjustments to get the thing focused and if the mount isn't mounted exactly centered to your screen ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-08-07 Summary: great starter projector!!! ... As a total projector newbie, I did some research on reputed review sites as well as amazon and came up with the Optoma20. It works fantastically well. i do not have a receiver but i just hooked it up to a pair of computer spearks through the projector's audio output. Awesome for DVDs, extremely sharp and bright color, and that's saying something: we live in a loft apartment where it is impossible to black out the entire space, and we have a lot of light pollution at night through the loft windows via the busy street ...more

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-05-12 Summary: Perfect for us ... After reviewing a lot of soundbars, it was one great feature that pushed me to the Boston Acoustics TVEEM20B: the ability of the system to learn your remote commands (volume and mute). We have Dish programming and I did not want to have another remote or give up the great remote from Dish (with its skip forward and backward features to easily skip through TV commercials). Not only did the system learn the remote commands easily, the thing sounds great. We paired it with a new Toshiba 55 inch LED TV. Originally, we ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-05-06 Summary: best speaker mount ever ... This speaker mount kills two birds with one stone. The prior owner of my house had a Bang and Olufsen system, which required powered rear channel speakers. My new system did not require powered rear channel speakers. So I was left with a problem, a speaker wire junction box and a outlet junction box. Instead of drilling more holes for a speaker mount, I used the Pinpoint bracket, right over the exisiting faceplate of the speaker wire junction box. It is awesome. Clean lines, infinitely adjustible, with many different ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-03-20 Summary: Versatile Bracket ... This bracket is heavy duty and well made. It comes with a variety of connections and a longer "stick" to connect to the speakers so they can be mounted further from a wall or ceiling. They are easy to assemble and the mounting hardware should work for most any situation. I will be buying two more pairs for other rooms when I am ready to add speakers. ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2006-12-12 Summary: Excellent remote that's very customizable ... After spending considerable time researching true universal remote controls I chose the MX-800 which was a great choice for a home theater. The PC-connectivity (works great with Virtual PC or Boot Camp for OS X with a serial/USB adapter) for programming the remote, the ability to rename the LCD buttons, move programmed buttons around, sophisticated macro abilities and the MX-800's excellent learning from other remotes abilities set it apart from other universal remotes. This is the one to get if you want great performance ...more

[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2006-04-29 Summary: Great remote for my home theater system! ... This is a great remote with great flexibility. I have a combination of old and new equipment, and this remote does a great job of integrating them! The pluses: 1) I previously had a Phillips Pronto, and this device is much easier to program. 2) I think that the configurable buttons + hard buttons combination of the MX-800 is much more practical than the touch screen configurable layout of the Pronto. 3) The RF support is great! It's very convenient to not have to point the remote at my home theater equipment to get ...more
