It's really a sweat projector the speaker kinda sucks but buy a set of PC speakers with a sub and plug it in auxiliary and surround sound here you come
Question:	why the price difference between the same projector listed of another seller in amazon too

We recommend only purchasing from Amazon direct to ensure you get the correct product in a factory sealed box. If you have any further questions, please contact Optoma technical support at 888-289-6786 Monday - Friday 6 AM - 5 PM PST for further assistance.
Question:	can i project this on a 19ft screen to be viewed by 100 people in a conference hall
Answer:	For a 16: 9 aspect ratio 228" (19FT) screen the projector would have to be placed between 24' 6"- 26' 10" away. At that distance there need to be no ambient light. If you are going to be in a room with ambient light, you may want to look at a unit that is brighter.

User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone noticed a flickering in the light? I’ve only had it two weeks and it intermittently flickers bright flash for a millisecond
Answer:	I have not noticed a flickering
Question:	I need a projector that will show documents with very little glare on a classroom whiteboard. Would this do the job
Answer:	Not really, it doesn't display well on white surfaces. Epson has projectors specifically designed for classrooms. try the "EPSON POWERLITE 675W ULTRA SHORT THROW CLASSROOM PROJECTOR " it's cheaper than this one because it doesn't have as much features but if you just using it to present documents you don't need many of the features this projector offers. You don't need the wall mounted like you see in the images it works on a table as well.
Question:	Can I use this projector on Starboard or smartboard
Answer:	Yes you can use it but it doesn't provide function, but note that it is not as bright as some of the higher end models and does not integrate with touch software it is merely a projector. Very high quality resolution for the price.
Question:	Is the loud fan and some sort of high pitch normal
Answer:	Hello - No, it is NOT normal. Please contact support to troubleshoot. :-) Customer Service 510-897-8600 1-888-289-6786 (6am – 5pm PST) https://www.optoma.com/us/support/contact-us/
