Hi Harsha,

The HD66 is listed at 2500 Lumens...that sounds too bright to be a home-cinema projector. You might want to check what the colour wheel is as that will affect the colour performance

The HD67 is listed at 1800L - this sounds more like it for decent image quality.


It looks like the HD67 has passed the certification process, but I don't think you can buy them quite yet - there is no mention of Nvidia support on Optoma's website.

I found a model called HD67[b]N[/b] on a couple of sites - It looks like this will be the Nvidia certified model. Maybe to avoid confusion with the existing non-certified HD67?

hey, i'm in India too and i recently purchased the Optoma HD67.I initially wanted to get the HD66 as the brightness is more (the brightness drops down a bit in 3d mode).
But the HD66 isn't launched for Europe/Asia.So, you wont get warranty for that.Also, the HD67 itself is a bit bright, watching a movie on HD66 would really be a strain.
I'm watching BLu-Ray movies on a 150inch diagonal screen(wide) and it is phenomenal.I don't have any regrets nor is the 720p restriction an issue.
3D is also great.Brightness is not a problem at all.
Even though OPtoma HD67 isn't officially supported, i got it working by fooling my comp into thinking it was an Acer H5360. YOu just have to load the Acer H5360 driver in the device manager and you're all set.The file and a guide is posted in this forum.
I strongly suggest you go for the HD67.
