At first glance, it's hard to believe a sub-$1,000 projector like the Optoma HD25-LV could offer the same level of performance as others twice the cost, but all that doubt will fade away as soon as you turn it on for the first time.

Optoma HD25 and HD25-LV Projectors Review

The HD25 and the HD25LV are two 3D 1080p projectors that just came to market. We've reviewed the HD65, the HD20, the HD72...and the HD33 before, but these new units break 3D into a new price point.

Optoma HD25 projector review

Excellent image accuracy and contrast prove that Optoma is up for the budget projector brawl Design-wise, the HD25 is passably attractive by budget projection standards, thanks to its gloss white finish and curved forward edge. Casual users will appreciate its small, cupboard-friendly footprint – though this does raise concerns about running noise issues. It’s good to see the £800 HD25 taking 3D seriously too, by including a free pair of Active 3D glasses and RF 3D transmitter.

For around £800 the Optoma HD25 2D/3D is a talented 2D/3D projector that represents good value for money.
