Well what can i say like many who have bought this i was a bit sceptical at first but took the plunge based on other reviews and can honestly say so far so good ive hooked up my sky+ box via svideo cable and this gives a bright colourful image,i am just using a plain white blind from wilkinson and it does a great job giving me a 80"image from 10ft,the only reason i havent gave it 5 stars is i dont now how to rig up my dvd player to it yet but i can watch dvds via the pc but i dont have 5.1 channel from my pc,probably need an amp maybe not maybe im just doing something wrong so if anyone can shed light on this matter please post up.I wouldhighly recommend this pj to anyone on a budget.Update,i figured out how to play a dvd player through it using video cable and scart adapter i could nt belivie the answer to my question was looking right at me,image quality is superb so ill give it 5 stars now.

works out of the box with phone, laptop, pc picture quality excellent. just like all the other reviews, a bargain

Perfect for movies and games!, 27 Sep 2008
Best value for money if you just want to watch movies/dvds or play games. Very light, small and bright picture. Not recommended for using it to work as a gigantic screen for working on the computer, because the text gets fuzzy when not in native resolution.

But why is this keeping getting more expensive? The first time I saw it on here it was £235, bought it for £245 and now it's £275???

A brilliant projector!, 28 Aug 2008
I was looking for a cheapish projector and came across this, after reading the reviews i can honestly say it is brilliant, it's quite easy to set up, just plug it in and as soon as you put another input in it, it will automatically work for example i plugged in my xbox 360 using a vga cable and it came out clear as day. Of course you have to work around the fact that you have to move it back to increase the image size but when its £240, it's great value for money|!

Excellent product and excellent value, 05 Jul 2008
Having used many brands of projector in my work, this is fully equal in picture quality to far more expensive SVGA models (and frankly for most purposes SVGA is all you need).

It is a bit plasticky and flimsy and I don't think would stand up to heavy use or much moving around, but it's outstanding value for money.

So easy, Granny could use it......., 19 Sep 2008
looked at loads of projectors, but the simplicity here was the winner. Point at wall, plug in, insert DVD, press play...........magic. At 6ft distance, got a decent sized picture, bigger than a LCD at double the price, quality was excellent and the room was in normal daylight hours. First film, Star Wars, like being back in the pictures all those years ago, and not a crisp packet in sight............heaven. Sound is great for such a small unit, fills the room with ease. Easy to store and with the included case, it walks round to my mates for the footie off his Sky. Cant find anything bad to say about it.

Fantastic home cinema effect on a budget, 08 Jul 2008
We bought the DV11 projector after reading the other reviews on Amazon and discussing it with Optoma. It is great value for money - half the price of all other projectors we considered. From approximately 6ft away we can project onto calico coloured wallpaper and the picture quality is great with a widescreen size of approximately 6ft by 3ft. A surround sound system is not required in a 12ft by 12ft room but a subwoofer enhances the home cinema experience. For watching a DVD this really is an easy plug 'n' play projector that is ready to go.

SOUND: The VGA cable provided only transmits video so if you use it to connect the projector to another source, i.e. laptop, set top box, or video machine, you need an additional cable to transmit sound:

LAP TOP: In addition to connnecting a laptop to the DV11 using the VGA cable, use a Jack (black) to 2xRCA (red, white, male,) phono audio cable for sound.

SET TOP BOX: To transmit picture AND sound from a Virgin Media box that has a SCART socket use a different cable, e.g. "Philips SWV2255/10 A/V Connections Scart Cable - 1.5m" or "Hama 3 Phono to SCART Switchable cable, 1.5m". This type of cable will have a SCART plug for the set top box and 3 audio male plugs (red, white and yellow) for the DV11.

VIDEO: If the video machine has a SCART socket I guess it should be connected to the DV11 the same way as a set top box but I haven't tried it myself.

Excellent projector, but not quite perfect, 06 May 2008
Beautifully sharp picture, lots of useful inputs and functions, though it lacks an HDMI input unfortunately. Allows the picture to be easily flipped upside down so you can mount the unit on a ceiling or wall mount and has vertical keystone adjustment - all from the remote control and it usefully remembers the settings after being powered down for weeks!

Marked down a star because the built-in DVD player is a consumer unfriendly region 2 only and it's far too fussy about the DVD's that it plays. It refuses to play DVD's that other region 2 or multi region players are happy with but fails to tell you what the problem is. Just projects 'STOP' on the screen (or wall) after a brief scan, then any keypress except eject results in "INVALID KEY" being displayed.

The lack of on-screen information regarding DVD problems combined with the region 2 nonsense lets down what is otherwise an excellent device.


Good but not great, 25 Apr 2008
The Optoma DV11 does everything that Optoma says it does. It does however have a few shortcomings, which are :
1.Some older DVD's tend to skip.
2.The tiny onboard speakers aren't really up to the job.
3.The zoom control is pretty useless, and very cheap.
4.No HDMI input.
Other than that the image you get (especially in total darkness)is pretty good. The fan is quiet,and the speakers can easily be heard above it.
They even provide a smart carry case to pack it all into.
All in all a good purchase.


Superb all-in-one home cinema solution, 20 Feb 2008
Just bought this projector a couple of days ago, and I have to say I'm extremely chuffed with it. In terms of picture and sound quality, I'm sure it doesn't compete with a £2000-plus home cinema system featuring a big HD TV, BluRay player and 5.1 speaker system all carefully positioned in an ideal viewing environment, but so what? For less than a quarter of that price - and probably less than a quarter of the hassle involved in planning your living room around that sort of set-up - you get something really pretty impressive.

Within 10 minutes of getting this projector delivered, I'd set it up on a coffee table, pointed it at a blank wall, and was watching Star Wars on a screen around four times the size of a 42" TV. OK, so it wasn't HD and I couldn't hear laser beams zapping around behind my head, but still, the sound was more than adequate even without the subwoofer - better than typical TV speakers I think, loud and clear and with decent bass - and the picture was bright, vivid and pretty much pin-sharp. DVDs haven't started looking rubbish just because something better has come along, and the resolution of this projector is perfectly suited to them. (Of course, as with any modern TV, you start to see the pixels if you get too close to the screen - but at the right distance the picture genuinely looked superb.)

A few things were worrying me before I bought this projector, so just in case the same things are worrying you I'll talk about them here. 1 - I was worried the fan noise would be a problem. It really isn't. It's just about audible in those rare ultra-quiet bits of a movie where there's no music or dialogue, but even then it's just a quiet hum - nothing like the loud whirr my computer fan gives off! 2 - I was worried the picture wouldn't be bright enough. Actually it's fine - better in a dark room, obviously, but certainly watchable in daylight with the curtains drawn. In fact, thinking about how much the reflections on a normal TV screen in daylight can spoil the picture, this really doen't count against the projector at all for me. 3 - I was worried it would be weird having the sound coming out of speakers in the projector just in front of me while the picture was on the other side of the room. Actually you soon forget about this - the sound fills the room quite nicely, and when you watch the screen, I think your brain quite naturally tricks you into thinking that's where the matching sound is coming from.

All in all I would recommend this to pretty much anyone for whom HD isn't the prime concern. It displays a great DVD-quality picture bigger than any TV could, and offers surprisingly beefy sound too - not to mention the convenience of being able to pack it away easily (it comes complete with a carry case) and take it to another room, a friend's house, on holiday etc. And for anyone who really IS bothered about HD, surround sound and all the rest of it - I would still strongly suggest that you think about the projector option in general rather than the TV option. Frankly I just don't see how even the largest TV could begin to compete with the sort of picture a projector can give you.

All in all a great purchase - I'm definitely going to enjoy rediscovering my DVD collection on the big screen!

Pixmania have not honoured ther sale agreement, 01 Oct 2008
I bought this InFocus x6 project from Pixmania which was offered with a free voucher for a replacement bulb. Pixmania have simply refused to supply the voucher - worse still they refuse to acknowledge that they ever made this promise and want me to refturn the product! The projector is fine - good quality, good price - no problem. The problem is with Pixmania and their sales team. I would recommend not buying this product from Pixmania, if you want this projector buy it from another supplier.

Couldn't believe the quality at such a low price!, 13 Jul 2008
So far I have had this projector for two days and I have to write a review on how pleased I am with it. The projector is sat in my tiny back room with huge french doors so naturally I was worried about a dim picture, not a problem for this beauty! Set up was a breeze and so far I have connected my laptop, dvd player, satellite reciever and Xbox 360 all with flawless playback. The free lamp comes in the form of a voucher you have to FAX to Infocus which is a problem for me as I don't have FAX facilities but I will try and get the office at work to do that for me... Don't hesitate to buy this machine, connections are not a problem as you can have scart out to video and L and R audio. The video cable (yellow) goes to the projector and I have the phono cables going to my home stereo. I am a happy bunny and I have a way to keep the kids and wife quiet.... 5 STARS *****

Well what can i say like many who have bought this i was a bit sceptical at first but took the plunge based on other reviews and can honestly say so far so good ive hooked up my sky+ box via svideo cable and this gives a bright colourful image,i am just using a plain white blind from wilkinson and it does a great job giving me a 80"image from 10ft,the only reason i havent gave it 5 stars is i dont now how to rig up my dvd player to it yet but i can watch dvds via the pc but i dont have 5.1 channel from my pc,probably need an amp maybe not maybe im just doing something wrong so if anyone can shed light on this matter please post up.I wouldhighly recommend this pj to anyone on a budget.Update,i figured out how to play a dvd player through it using video cable and scart adapter i could nt belivie the answer to my question was looking right at me,image quality is superb so ill give it 5 stars now.

Best value for money if you just want to watch movies/dvds or play games. Very light, small and bright picture. Not recommended for using it to work as a gigantic screen for working on the computer, because the text gets fuzzy when not in native resolution.

But why is this keeping getting more expensive? The first time I saw it on here it was £235, bought it for £245 and now it's £275???

I was looking for a cheapish projector and came across this, after reading the reviews i can honestly say it is brilliant, it's quite easy to set up, just plug it in and as soon as you put another input in it, it will automatically work for example i plugged in my xbox 360 using a vga cable and it came out clear as day. Of course you have to work around the fact that you have to move it back to increase the image size but when its £240, it's great value for money|!

Excellent product and excellent value, 05 Jul 2008
Having used many brands of projector in my work, this is fully equal in picture quality to far more expensive SVGA models (and frankly for most purposes SVGA is all you need).

It is a bit plasticky and flimsy and I don't think would stand up to heavy use or much moving around, but it's outstanding value for money.

Easy to store and with the included case, it walks round to my mates for the footie off his Sky. Cant find anything bad to say about it.

Fantastic home cinema effect on a budget, 08 Jul 2008
We bought the DV11 projector after reading the other reviews on Amazon and discussing it with Optoma. It is great value for money - half the price of all other projectors we considered. From approximately 6ft away we can project onto calico coloured wallpaper and the picture quality is great with a widescreen size of approximately 6ft by 3ft. A surround sound system is not required in a 12ft by 12ft room but a subwoofer enhances the home cinema experience. For watching a DVD this really is an easy plug 'n' play projector that is ready to go.

SOUND: The VGA cable provided only transmits video so if you use it to connect the projector to another source, i.e. laptop, set top box, or video machine, you need an additional cable to transmit sound:

LAP TOP: In addition to connnecting a laptop to the DV11 using the VGA cable, use a Jack (black) to 2xRCA (red, white, male,) phono audio cable for sound.

SET TOP BOX: To transmit picture AND sound from a Virgin Media box that has a SCART socket use a different cable, e.g. "Philips SWV2255/10 A/V Connections Scart Cable - 1.5m" or "Hama 3 Phono to SCART Switchable cable, 1.5m". This type of cable will have a SCART plug for the set top box and 3 audio male plugs (red, white and yellow) for the DV11.

VIDEO: If the video machine has a SCART socket I guess it should be connected to the DV11 the same way as a set top box but I haven't tried it myself.

Excellent projector, but not quite perfect, 06 May 2008
Beautifully sharp picture, lots of useful inputs and functions, though it lacks an HDMI input unfortunately. Allows the picture to be easily flipped upside down so you can mount the unit on a ceiling or wall mount and has vertical keystone adjustment - all from the remote control and it usefully remembers the settings after being powered down for weeks!

Marked down a star because the built-in DVD player is a consumer unfriendly region 2 only and it's far too fussy about the DVD's that it plays. It refuses to play DVD's that other region 2 or multi region players are happy with but fails to tell you what the problem is. Just projects 'STOP' on the screen (or wall) after a brief scan, then any keypress except eject results in "INVALID KEY" being displayed.

The lack of on-screen information regarding DVD problems combined with the region 2 nonsense lets down what is otherwise an excellent device.


Good but not great, 25 Apr 2008
The Optoma DV11 does everything that Optoma says it does. It does however have a few shortcomings, which are :
1.Some older DVD's tend to skip.
2.The tiny onboard speakers aren't really up to the job.
3.The zoom control is pretty useless, and very cheap.
4.No HDMI input.
Other than that the image you get (especially in total darkness)is pretty good. The fan is quiet,and the speakers can easily be heard above it.
They even provide a smart carry case to pack it all into.
All in all a good purchase.


Superb all-in-one home cinema solution, 20 Feb 2008
Just bought this projector a couple of days ago, and I have to say I'm extremely chuffed with it. In terms of picture and sound quality, I'm sure it doesn't compete with a £2000-plus home cinema system featuring a big HD TV, BluRay player and 5.1 speaker system all carefully positioned in an ideal viewing environment, but so what? For less than a quarter of that price - and probably less than a quarter of the hassle involved in planning your living room around that sort of set-up - you get something really pretty impressive.

Within 10 minutes of getting this projector delivered, I'd set it up on a coffee table, pointed it at a blank wall, and was watching Star Wars on a screen around four times the size of a 42" TV. OK, so it wasn't HD and I couldn't hear laser beams zapping around behind my head, but still, the sound was more than adequate even without the subwoofer - better than typical TV speakers I think, loud and clear and with decent bass - and the picture was bright, vivid and pretty much pin-sharp. DVDs haven't started looking rubbish just because something better has come along, and the resolution of this projector is perfectly suited to them. (Of course, as with any modern TV, you start to see the pixels if you get too close to the screen - but at the right distance the picture genuinely looked superb.)

A few things were worrying me before I bought this projector, so just in case the same things are worrying you I'll talk about them here. 1 - I was worried the fan noise would be a problem. It really isn't. It's just about audible in those rare ultra-quiet bits of a movie where there's no music or dialogue, but even then it's just a quiet hum - nothing like the loud whirr my computer fan gives off! 2 - I was worried the picture wouldn't be bright enough. Actually it's fine - better in a dark room, obviously, but certainly watchable in daylight with the curtains drawn. In fact, thinking about how much the reflections on a normal TV screen in daylight can spoil the picture, this really doen't count against the projector at all for me. 3 - I was worried it would be weird having the sound coming out of speakers in the projector just in front of me while the picture was on the other side of the room. Actually you soon forget about this - the sound fills the room quite nicely, and when you watch the screen, I think your brain quite naturally tricks you into thinking that's where the matching sound is coming from.

All in all I would recommend this to pretty much anyone for whom HD isn't the prime concern. It displays a great DVD-quality picture bigger than any TV could, and offers surprisingly beefy sound too - not to mention the convenience of being able to pack it away easily (it comes complete with a carry case) and take it to another room, a friend's house, on holiday etc. And for anyone who really IS bothered about HD, surround sound and all the rest of it - I would still strongly suggest that you think about the projector option in general rather than the TV option. Frankly I just don't see how even the largest TV could begin to compete with the sort of picture a projector can give you.

All in all a great purchase - I'm definitely going to enjoy rediscovering my DVD collection on the big screen!

Pixmania have not honoured ther sale agreement, 01 Oct 2008
I bought this InFocus x6 project from Pixmania which was offered with a free voucher for a replacement bulb. Pixmania have simply refused to supply the voucher - worse still they refuse to acknowledge that they ever made this promise and want me to refturn the product! The projector is fine - good quality, good price - no problem. The problem is with Pixmania and their sales team. I would recommend not buying this product from Pixmania, if you want this projector buy it from another supplier.

Couldn't believe the quality at such a low price!, 13 Jul 2008
So far I have had this projector for two days and I have to write a review on how pleased I am with it. The projector is sat in my tiny back room with huge french doors so naturally I was worried about a dim picture, not a problem for this beauty! Set up was a breeze and so far I have connected my laptop, dvd player, satellite reciever and Xbox 360 all with flawless playback. The free lamp comes in the form of a voucher you have to FAX to Infocus which is a problem for me as I don't have FAX facilities but I will try and get the office at work to do that for me... Don't hesitate to buy this machine, connections are not a problem as you can have scart out to video and L and R audio. The video cable (yellow) goes to the projector and I have the phono cables going to my home stereo. I am a happy bunny and I have a way to keep the kids and wife quiet.... 5 STARS *****
