Optoma Launches HD142X 1080p Home Theater Projector, Improving on #1 Selling High-Definition Projector on Market

Optoma, a world leading manufacturer of video and audio products, today is launching its HD142X 1080p home theater projector, improving upon its impressive Optoma HD141X, the top selling 1080p projector in the U.S. market.* With even better color and contrast, improved lamp life and a smaller form factor, the Optoma HD142X delivers an incredible high definition picture for an unmatched price point to enjoy movies, games, sports and TV.
With color and contrast ratio the two most critical elements to a great picture, Optoma has improved upon both with its HD142X. Adding an sRGB color mode, the Optoma HD142X reproduces accurate colors for PC and Mac content and color space, complementing the Reference Mode, which reproduces accurate Rec.709 HDTV broadcast spec colors – ensuring content created for any source will look true and vibrant. With an increase in contrast ratio to 23,000:1, this projector also provides rich blacks capable of showing important texture and detail in any picture.

In addition, lamp life has been improved to deliver up to 8,000 hours, a new and advanced optical lens ensures even sharper and crisper images. Its new and smaller form factor with a rear I/O panel makes adopting projection into a home even easier.

•Accurate, rich colors: with both Rec.709 and sRGB color modes, the Optoma HD142X can deliver rich, true and accurate colors for any content
