Although we found the styling on Optoma's recent ThemeScene H30A a little bland, it certainly punched above its weight in terms of performance. Now the manufacturer has released a similarly specced model geared more towards business use.
The EP747 boasts an XGA resolution, which whilst not the best on offer these days, a 2000:1 contrast and pre-sets optimised for PC, Photo, RGB, video and cinema applications mean it should fare fine for home use. Primarily though it's developed with installation applications in mind, with a short throw add-on lens and 3000 hour lamp life. There's a decent array of inputs including DVI, two VGA, S-video and Composite, and for each video input there is an audio input allowing easy switching of sources.
Another business friendly addition is its express-on and off feature, meaning presentations should be ready to shine brightly in just a few seconds and hopefully eliminating the long start-up time generally associated with projectors.
The Optoma EP747 will be priced at £999 on its release next month.
