Optomas HD50 is perhaps the most ambitious projector in the test field when it comes to a real home cinema installation. The at least suggests the equipment with a lens, which in addition to focus and zoom synonymous already a useful Lensshift brings. The knurl above the zoom ring can shift the image up and down the screen by a few percent. Although this is far from the possibilities of adjusting high-priced projectors such as Sony’s SXRD models, it still allows a certain degree of tolerance in the placement without having to resort to the quality-degrading electronic trapezoid correction for geometry adjustment.

Other features include the fact that Optoma is already worth the four-digit price with functions. This certainly includes the intermediate image computation, which is loved by many home cinema enthusiasts, which here is called PureMotion and which smoothes the motion representation for 3D and 3D in three stages. Although the testers do not like the imagery of the interpolation, they are not so much, but this algorithm looks really good on a small scale and the resulting artefacts are kept within small limits. In the higher grades, the image then appears to be quite artificial.
As a further image processing, there is a re-sharpening which can be switched and controlled in several steps. As with all the sharpshippers, the right dosage is reached even if the process is not noticed until it is switched off and it does not appear to be permanently present. At the smallest step "On", the UltraDetail process did exactly the desired, gentle detailing without visible artifacts. Higher levels produced a disharmonic focus and double contours, as well as losing fine color details to saturation.
Another highlight of Optoma's "real" home cinema in the development of the HD50 is the ergonomic remote control with many useful direct buttons and full lighting in a rich blue. The many direct buttons cut the way through the menu structure, but they also tempt you to play and help prevent accidental adjustment. Taste

In the Testkino but also a few negative aspects, at least, if one sets strict standards. There is on the one hand the volume. The blower has a uniform but not very quiet working noise, and the whistling of the high-speed color wheel was heard here and there.
The front cooling slots do not penetrate a small amount of scattered light, which is incidental to the screen, but can still disturb and does not improve the contrast. And the switching times, for example, when the image frequency of a Blu-ray Disc changes between menu and film, takes an unduly long time with 8 to 15 seconds.
But if the Optoma runs once, the picture will please you with calm and quite considerable depth. It also does not seem as hard as some other DLP projection and appears overall balanced and comparatively plastic. Clearly, you can even enjoy a "Lord of the Rings" or dive into other worlds.

With the HD50, Optoma is building an entry-level home cinema projector, which is well-suited for a fixed installation but is also mobile. The light output is high. Even a dimmed rather than a completely darkened living room he supplies with a crisp picture and comparatively balanced colors.
