Abstract: Recently, we had the opportunity to sit down with three different HD projectors made by Optoma — the HD33, the GT750E, and the Neo-i. While all produced good images (in fact, the HD33 would probably be classified as
Abstract: Optoma seems to have a knack when it comes to designing affordable home theater projectors. Their 2D HD20 model was the first 1080p DLP home theater front projector to break the $1,000 price point barrier, and it delivered a surprisingly good pictu...
The Optoma HD33 definitely earns its Hot Product award. The breakthrough price is one great reason, although I expect it will see some 3D competition near the price real soon. The thing is, the HD33 does everything reasonably well. It's not the most f...
Abstract: The Optoma HD33 is a projector of firsts. It is Optoma's first 1080p 3D projector. It is also the first 1080p 3D projector under $3000. Finally, it is the first 3D projector to our knowledge to use RF glasses technology, eliminating concerns about line...
Startlingly good 3D performance, 3D glasses work very effectively, Unbelievably cheap
Contrast not great with 2D, Minor rainbow effect, No vertical image shift
There's no denying that the HD33's 2D pictures lack some of the refinement you'd expect to see with more expensive DLP projectors - including Optoma's own HD83, notwithstanding that model's curious shadow detailing issues. Considered fairly, though, in it...

Out-of-the-box greyscale accuracy is excellent, Calibrated greyscale performance approaches reference, Motion handling in both 2D and 3D is very good, Very good video processing, Bright image in both 2D and 3D, 3D performance is excellent with almost no c
Black levels are mediocre in 2D, Dynamic range is limited by black levels, Out-of-the-box colour gamut could be better, No colour management system, No lens shift feature, Crosstalk in 3D when LBX mode used, HDMI handshake takes a long time, Limited docum
La 3D !, Les couleurs en sortie de boîte, La netteté, Les lunettes 3D RF, L'interpolation d'images
Zoom et focus manuels, L'absence de CMS, Un contraste qui aurait pu être meilleur
L'optoma HD33 n'est certes pas le meilleur diffuseur 2D à être passé dans notre laboratoire mais il vient prendre la première place de notre classement des projecteurs 3D grâce à son module RF et à l'absence totale de ghosting, flickering et autres pla...
