This projector is capable of projecting an image up to 174' wide (over 14 1/2 feet) in high-definition. With a maximum brightness output of 2,000 ANSI lumens, this projector is able to project one of the brightest images in the industry. Famed Hollywood colorist David Bernstein worked with Optoma to calibrate the HD70 so it can best match the vibrant color intended by Hollywood directors.

Contrast ratio of up to 6,000:1 and 1280x720 resolution.

ProjectorCentral.com - September 2006: On the Optoma HD70, Eval Powell has this to say: ".. One of the unique features of the AX100U is its "Light Harmonizer." This gives the projector the ability to detect and automatically recalibrate itself to varying ambient light conditions. In total darkness it will reduce its lumen output and maximize black level. But when someone turns a light on, it will automatically boost lumen output to brighten the picture and make it easier to see."

AudioHolics.com - October 2006: On the Optoma HD70, Clint DeBoer writes: ".. To say that there will be a 'buzz' surrounding this projector is an understatement. Optoma's PT-AE900U was one of the highest selling units in its price class and this updated model is sure to have many people watching and waiting for performance results with much anticipation. It also makes any leftover PT-AE900U models look mighty inviting for those looking for a steal in the projector market right now."
