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
Low price for a huge full HD 1080p 3D image, Good picture quality in 2D and 3D modes, Supports RF and DLP-Link glasses
Inflexible mounting/placement options due to limited zoom range and no lens shift, Not quite as strong a performer in 2D mode as some comparably priced options, Slightly noisy
The Optoma HD33 is one of the few full HD 1080p 3D projectors on the market for less than $2,500 - it actually sells for under $1,500. Although the lack of lens shift and lack of extended zoom capabilities restrict its placement, you can work around t...
The HD33's 2D mode calibrated quite well, although the black level was fairly high at the image size I used (16:9, 76 inches wide). A larger screen would help this, and there's enough brightness headroom, even in STD lamp mode, to fill such a screen. Oth...
Abstract: A couple years ago, Optoma redefined the projector market by introducing a 1080p model for under $1000. That was unheard of. What's equally unheard of is a 3D projector under $3000 - except that Optoma has now broken down that barrier again, too. And t...
The Optoma HD33 is a great projector with a lot of great features. There are several models of projectors that Optoma has listed on their web site and the HD33 being listed in about the middle. The HD33 is a perfect projector for home entertainment an...
We all know that 3D is suffering through some growing pains, mostly with regard to multiple formats, multiple types of glasses and the annoying lack of standardization in movie theaters. With some cohesion amongst the studios and exhibitors and a more ...
