In recent years, the 4K projection concept has been hot, but its high price often makes it unbearable to some ordinary families. At this time, a moderately-priced, high-performance full-HD projection device has become the most common choice for most people. The Optoma HD290 edited by the Editor today is a device of this kind. Let's look at the device's performance in the 3-5K price range.
High-value appearance design
Strictly speaking, the appearance is actually a relatively unimportant indicator in the projection equipment, but when the environment is transferred from the office room to the family environment that usually lives, you have to seriously consider this issue.
Optoma HD290's overall design is very simple, the body is not large, compared to the 4K projection equipment that the editor has tested before, it can be said to be small and exquisite. The whole body's white reflective surface design allows the HD290 to easily integrate into most living situations without appearing abrupt. The projector lamp is located on the left side of the main body, the operation panel is arranged relatively backward, and the main function keys and the power indicator are arranged on it.
The back of the fuselage, a variety of interfaces, everything, including the two HDMI interface, a USB interface and other mainstream commonly used interface, arranged clearly, can imagine wiring will not be very complicated.
Personally, I am very satisfied with the value of HD290. So how does the overall performance of the HD290 go?
3000 lumens high brightness light source, 1080 full HD display
The most critical part of the projection equipment, there is no doubt that the number of light sources.
Optoma HD290 chose DLP technology, which is now very mature, in projection display technology. With the ultra-high voltage ** bulb as a light source, the projection brightness reaches 3,000 lumens, and the official lamp life is up to 10,000 hours.
In terms of projection performance, HD290's zoom ring supports 1.3x zoom, the maximum projection size up to 300 inches, full HD (1080P) resolution enough for home theater configuration. And HD290 projection distance requirements are not harsh, 1.2 meters to 10.2 meters in the range of projection.

It is worth mentioning that, due to the principle of high-voltage ** bulb light source, heat dissipation of such projection equipment has always been an important indicator, in the measured editor Jun found that the HD290's thermal performance is very good, heat can smoothly from the body Internal elimination effectively avoids all kinds of failures and inconvenience caused by overheating.

No longer rely on curtains, color compensation for a variety of wall surfaces
Under certain conditions, projectors cannot be used with screens. No screens can compromise the picture quality of projection equipment. For some special scenes and situations, Optoma equipped with a set of wall color compensation function on the HD290 for color correction when projecting on some colored walls.
The HD290 comes with six built-in wall color compensations: White / Light Yellow / Light Blue / Pink / Dark Green. The projector automatically adjusts the color of the display screen to compensate for the color deviation of the projected screen caused by the color of the wall, thereby displaying the correct image color.
At the same time HD290 a HSG color fine-tuning system is used to adjust the saturation of various colors to meet everyone's different habits.
The specific settings can be recalled in the Display Settings column in the projector settings.

One sound and picture, excellent film and television performance
As a projection device suitable for home use, its expressiveness for video content is particularly important. In the actual measurement process, editor Jun discovered the HD290's unusual performance in film and television performance.
Let's talk about the picture, HD290 uses a six-segment color wheel design in the design, the color performance is more vivid and beautiful, while the Brilliant Color II technology is equipped to increase the color saturation by increasing the brightness of the screen while enhancing the brightness of the screen. Make the picture more realistic and vivid.
In terms of image processing, the HD290 uses a TI 4422 chip with frequency multiplication capability. This chip's ability to make it more smooth in the video transmission process, the video performance is more smooth.

In addition, the 10W speakers equipped with the HD290 perform very well and the sound is very penetrating enough for home theater use.
Projection test
In order to more objectively test the performance of the HD290 when projecting images, we selected some pictures with different styles to perform projection tests.
The performance of HD290 in image projection is quite good compared to other devices of the same class, especially in the processing of high-contrast images, especially in the penultimate image of the kimono girl.
Evaluation summary
After some tests, Editor Jun gave HD290 the most direct evaluation: simple and easy to use. He is not complicated and the system follows the operating system commonly used by Optoma. In terms of performance, it can be rated as one of the best in the 3k-5k price segment.
At present, the entire projection display industry is stirring up the 4K concept. 4K is like the top of the pyramid. It needs countless backbone products as a support, and HD290 is a member of the industry's backbone products. They have excellent performance and high cost performance. For the entire projection industry, They are indispensable. After all, 4K is good, but it's too expensive.
If you need a device that can be a home theater masterpiece at home, but at the same time do not have too much budget, HD290 can be said to be a very suitable choice. At present, this model of equipment is priced at 3999 yuan on the e-commerce platform. This is a very worthwhile price. If you don't have too high demands on the sound, then HD290 can even save you money for the next speaker.
