QuestionWe live in a quiet neighborhood... can you set up this projector for Bluetooth to run speakers and/or headsets?
Asked 8 years ago by Jen.
- Answer Depends on your setup. I have mine hooked to a mac and that's hooked to a JBL sound bar via Bluetooth. But the projector itself is not Bluetooth. If you had a long 3.5mm cable you can hook directly in the back for headphones I suppose.

Question(1) Does this projector come with ceiling mount? - if not, what do I buy? (2) since this is HDMI only, how long of a cable can I get that will work? - I think my cable box is about 30feet away so is their a limit to HDMI cable lengths?
Asked 7 years ago by Rock.
- Answer It does not come with a ceiling mount, and what was worse, the "universal" ceiling mount I had with my previous projector (also an Optoma) didn't fit (well, I had to drill a new hole to make it fit). If you are buying a new mount, make sure it fits your projector. I also needed a long HDMI cable. I got one from my local really-expensive audio store.

QuestionWhat happened to the $499 price.. as soon as cyber Monday hit, it went up $50. Great promotion (sarcasm , duh ) I will make my purchase elsewhere.
Asked 7 years ago by Paris.
- Answer Believe me it's WORTH the extra FIFTY Bucks.....I've been to MANY demos of REALLY pricey Projectors- some at "Magnolia" equipped Stores, and THIS one BLOWS them AWAY. We are NOT cheap- our LAST Projector was a KLOSS NovaBeam Model 100 W/Faroudja that listed (in 1986 dollars) for $4.500.....when KLOSS went "Belly-Up" AMPRO acquired it and RAISED the Price to $9,000. (even the $50 Remote went to $500 !). Believe me THIS Projector is WAY Better/Brighter- AND it's 3D !!! Thank GOD (well Texas Instruments) for the DLP Chip.
