Question 1

Is it wireless?

Accepted Answer

no...why would this be wireless?

Question 2

Will this projector be suitable for ceiling mount? It would be approximately 15 ft away from the screen.

Accepted Answer

Yes, this projector can be ceiling mounted. There is a setting in the menu to flip the image orientation if you ceiling mount the projector. At a 15 ft. distance this projector will create a 135-140" diagonal image. Go to the optoma product website and use the distance calculator to get an exact figure for your setup.

Question 3

Is the text from PC blurry on half of your screen? Focus knob makes the text clear in either upper or lower portion of the screen (and not entire screen).

Accepted Answer

Another thing to think about regarding picture issues left/right or top/bottom is projector placement in relation to the screen. The research I have done says that the projector must be placed exactly in the center of the screen left and right and in the proper height as suggested by the manufacturer given the throw distance for perfect picture quality.

You may have your projector a little off to one side. The solution for your problem without changing the actual projector's position is to swivel it left or right to see if that blurry text gets better, then change the offset in the projectors settings to fit inside of your projection screen. I have also heard that offset and keystone will degrade the projection quality, but I am new to the projection scene and am not an expert by any means.

Question 4

Do I need a 3D emitter with DLP-LINK 3D type glasses?

Accepted Answer

No - supposedly it's built into the image that's projected. I havent used it on my projector yet though

Question 5

Is the purchase of 3D adapter required to watch 3D?
What kind of 3d glasses are required?

Accepted Answer

While I don't have anything 3D capable, I can tell you the projector doesn't come with any 3D equipment. I think all I got was a power cable. The picture quality is quite nice, even with some lights on. The only thing I'd gripe a bit on is the throw distance. It's gotta be a little ways back to get a big picture - not good for short throw. Afterward, I found a distance calculator on Optoma's website (on optoma's site find /products/detail/HD141X check the tabs). It says it can use DLP link or RF 3D glasses.

Also check out the Datasheet and User's manual

Question 6

Does this projector feature optical keystone adjustment or the typical digital scaling?

Accepted Answer

It features horizontal keystone, but it does not have vertical keystone. Their is one setting in it that allows you to shrink the image by cutting of some of the image on all sides of the screen, but this ruins the image as it actually removes part of it. Their are no other digital adjustment features, so it is really limited in where you can place it.

Question 7

Has anyone had issues where the unit would become non responsive to both remote and inputs?  This is my second HD141X and in both cases it cannot be shut off using the remote control or using the panel on the projector.  Looks like I wasted a lot of money on this piece of junk.

Accepted Answer

I have not faced the issue with the power button but I have got the projector just a couple of weeks back. i did have an issue with the remote control that came out of the box - it was just not working. i did not see any light come out of it, and the projector was not responsive. i have called optoma and they are sending me a new remote . other than that, the pic looks good and i haven't had any issues.

Question 8

1.  Specifically what kind of replacement bulb is needed?  Before purchasing this, I need to know where I can bet bulbs and what they will cost.  Are the bulbs user replaceable?

2.  Does it come with any kind of filter that has to be replaced?

3.  My throw distance is right at 15 feet.  What size image can I get at 15 feet?

Accepted Answer

Throw distance will be fine, Mine is ceiling mounted at about 10' screen is 120", No filter, not sure about bulb

Question 9

This optoma hd 141x work with side by side and top bottom 3d movies? 
Thanks

Accepted Answer

I have only used side by side with it.

Question 10

I got this projector yesterday and did lot of configuration settings to get 120Hz (Frequency to get smoother images on action scenes). I am not able to get 120Hz with any connected device as it always gives 24Hz or 60Hz but at-last I connect input as my laptop and reduce the pixel to 720P then I am able to 120Hz.  Did anyone know how to get 120Hz on 1080P using other devices like Blu-ray?

Accepted Answer

I'd make sure your blu-ray player etc is capable of 120hz, most devices like blu-ray players and set top boxes are only truly capable of 60hz and the TV/Projector has to emulate 120hz from the 60hz input.
