Some customer reviews of Optoma DS306i office projector
Most helpful reviewsNeil, Larbert www.vinetrust.org Director
- Good points:
- This is a fantastic product. I'd borrowed an Optomo product in the past, couldn't wait to get one, and am so glad I did. Great projection capability at a very affordable price. I'm a charity director and use a slide set to present on the work of the charity. The Optomo is lightweight, I can carry it in my laptop bag, and it is very easy to set-up. The fact you can run Windows with the hand held remote is brilliant. Once Powerpoint is up and running you don't have to venture near the laptop, the hand held does it all. I love the screen control (if the slide is squint the Optomo allows you to correct the angle to get it as close to square as possible; great trick).
- Bad points:
- My only disappointment, is that with this model there is no laser pointer.

Confirmed purchaser Student Price Concious
- Good points:
-
very reasonable price, quality product. great for movies, gaming, or even just surfing the web. quality of picture is brilliant, even in a light room. zoom and focusing functionality is very good.
good connectivity: for computer, xbox, s-video socket for old video cameras or VHS. - Bad points:
-
to use the remote control, the projector must also be connected to the PC with a USB cable - so remote control is not an entirely cable free feature.
like most projectors, it generates a significant amount of energy loss from heat produced by the unit.

We searched for this product high and low,
from House of Fraser to Tesco,
no one is selling it, we're sorry to say,
not 407 retailers nor anyone on eBay,
but please don't worry even if it hurts,
you can look for alternatives or
